Corporal Rudy Spruance (played by Jason Biggs) is a protagonist in Guy X.
US Army Corporal mistakenly assigned to a remote Greenland base instead of Hawaii. Using the alias Pederson, he serves as Public Information Officer, forms a relationship with Aide Irene Teal, and discovers a secret underground ward housing brain-dead Vietnam veterans. He befriends Guy X, transcribes his final letter, facilitates his last view of the outside world, and ultimately escapes the base with forged new identities. Sgt. Irene Teal (played by Natascha McElhone) is a protagonist in Guy X.
Long-serving Aide to Lt. Col. Woolwrap and his former girlfriend. Initially pragmatic about the base's stagnation, she develops an intimate relationship with Spruance. She assists him in locating the hidden ward and Guy X, and together they witness the Colonel's suicide before escaping on the final evacuation plane. Col. Woolwrap (played by Jeremy Northam) appears in Guy X.
Longtime, mentally unstable commander of the remote Greenland base. He was previously the leader of the secret 1973 Vietnam mission that left the six patients in the ward. Having falsified their death reports for years, he ultimately chooses suicide over abandoning his men during the base's sudden shutdown. Lavone (played by Sean Tucker) appears in Guy X.
A fellow Corporal stationed at the base. After Spruance and Teal escape, Lavone reveals he forged official documentation granting them new identities and ranks. He is later addressed as General Lavone as he helps them choose their new permanent posting. Guy X (played by Michael Ironside) appears in Guy X.
One of six brain-dead Vietnam veterans confined in a secret underground ward. Unlike the others, he experiences rare lucid moments. He dictates a final letter to Spruance for a comrade's widow, requests to see the outside world, and passes away in the snow during a clandestine visit.
