NBC's got a number of new series headed our way this fall and one of them is the drama, set to star Christian Slater called My Own Worst Enemy. Thanks to a source who wishes to remain anonymous, we've got the Casting Call sheet for Enemy, which gives a few details about all of the characters. Spoilers ahead!
In Enemy, Slater will play Henry, a man with a split personality. He spends half his life in a boring suburbanite life, totally unaware that he also happens to be a spy named Edward. Two personalities; one body. According to the initial description for the series, released by NBC, "When the carefully constructed wall between them breaks down, Henry and Edward are thrust into unfamiliar territory where each man is dangerously out of his element."
It was reported last week that Mike O'Malley was cast for the role of Tom Grady/Raymond in the series but other than that, there hasn't been any recent news on casting for the other roles. Below is the full Casting Call list and character descriptions:
Mavis Heller / Helen:
50s, sturdy, intelligent, tough and astute. She is Edward and Raymond's boss at Janus HQ who walks with a cane and plays chess against herself during downtime. She is first seen angrily reprimanding Edward for ignoring a direct order during his mission in Paris. When Henry, Edward's mild-mannered alter-ego, emerges unexpectedly, and expresses an interest in working for her, she explains that the Henry side of his personality was basically concocted in a lab 15 years ago and that Janus has no use for Henry, only Edward. Later, as a sign of good faith, and to show that she is also making sacrifices, she arranges for Henry to run into her alter ego, Helen. Series Regular;
Tom Grady / Raymond: Mid-Late 30s. Henry's amiable friend and co-worker at AJ Sun Consulting. He's a married man and all-around good guy who teases Henry about his lack of toughness and admits he thinks Henry's wife is hot. Tom's alter ego is Raymond, a tough as hell, brusque and violent secret agent (just like Edward) with a devilish sense of humor who works for Janus. Raymond has to extract the hapless Henry from a brutal Russian interrogation and return him to safety. As Tom, he has no idea that Raymond exists, but Raymond knows about Tom and his family. Series Regular;
Lily Spivey: 33. She is Henry's loving, tender wife who cares deeply for Henry and has two kids with him: 4 years old Ruthy and 12 years old Dashell.

She is surprised (and a bit delighted) when "Henry's" demeanor in the bedroom changes, although she briefly wonders if he's having an affair. Series Regular;
Dr. Norah Skinner: Early 30s, beautiful without much makeup. She is a shrink and Edward's girlfriend who slaps him when she finds out he slept with Natasha, a Russian spy, during his mission to Paris.

Dashell "Dash" Spivey: 16, intelligent, son of Henry and Lily.

Ruthy: 4, talkative. She is Henry and Lily's daughter who thinks "it sucks" that her brother Dash hasn't been sent on the field yet during his soccer game;

The last time they met, Uzi lost two of his fingers, and now he wants revenge.
