The protagonist actor of ''The Eyes of the Heart''.title character, Boris is René's lucky charm goldish.


Added DiffLines:

* LegacyCharacter: The original Boris was apparently killed, as seen in ReplacementGoldfish.
* LivingProp: He's just as relevant to the plot as you would expect from a goldfish.
* MoralityPet: Literally to René, who has a soft spot for him.
* NamedAfterSomebodyFamous: Specifically, the tennis player Boris Becker.
* ReplacementGoldfish: A literal example… twice.
** In the season 1 finale, Itala accidentally kills him and Alessandro secretly replaces him with another goldish from a shop, without telling René about this change.
** In the first episode of season 3, René replaced him with another goldfish from his fish tank named Federer. Alessandro and Lorenzo accidentally break the tank, causing all the fishes to fall on the floor including Federer and Boris. Alessandro put a random fish in the fishbowl, which was supposed to be Federer. Only towards the end of seasons 3, it's revealed it was Boris all along, after René recognizes him.
* SecondaryCharacterTitle: Boris is a LivingProp at best. In many episodes, he's not even called by name, he's just somewhat present in the background.
* TeamPet: Can be this to the troupe, though the only one who seems to care about his existence is René.

->'''Played by:''' Alessandro Tiberi

The direction's young intern, Alessandro joins the set in the first episode and serves as AudienceSurrogate.
----
* {{Adorkable}}: He is pretty young, naïve, has a dorky charm, and manages to attract women like Arianna and Karin.
* AudienceSurrogate: The closest to a viewpoint character, as the show starts when he joins the set.
* BelligerentSexualTension: Initially with Arianna. He sees her as a MeanBoss but the ShipTease between the two is evident from the beginning.
* ButtMonkey: Often comically mistreated and pushed around by everyone around him. This only gets worse in season 2 and 3.
* ExtremeDoormat: Due to being an intern, he lets everyone walk all over him, especially Stanis.
* NaiveNewcomer: In season 1, he is unaware of how things work in the ''Eyes of the heart'' set and finds out that TV world is different from the way he has imagined.
* NiceGuy: He means well most of the time and seems nicer than the rest of the troupe.
* OnlyOneName: Despite being arguably the main character (either him or René), we never learn his last name.
* OnlySaneMan: He is a relatively normal guy who has to put up with a lot of crazy people. No wonder he ends up falling for Arianna, who is the only reasonable person in the troupe.
* StraightMan: Aside from being TheChewToy, he has no comedic quirks and he is often there to be the everyman to the others's antics, especially Stanis.

* ConsummateLiar: Often he is able to deceive the actors (especially Stanis) by pretending to fawn over them and be enthusiastic for their work, when he actually thinks the exact opposite.
* HairTriggerTemper: Tries to be calm…until he blows up and starts yelling. In his defence, he is SurroundedByIdiots.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Short-tempered and cynical, but he has shown to have a human side many times. And he cares about his goldfish Boris. Season 3 also shown he deeply loves his daughter.
* LargeHam: Pannofino is good at doing that sort of loud characters.

* CastingGag: Stanis plays Dr. Corelli in ''The Eyes of the Heart''. His actor, Pietro Sermonti, is known for playing a doctor in another Italian series, ''A Doctor in the Family.''
* CatchPhrase: "Very Italian", his way to complain about anything he doesn't like, and "Not Italian" (and for a short while, in season 2, "Anglo-saxon") is his way to say something is good.
* ForeignCultureFetish: Stanis is blatantly Italian like the other characters but hates anything associated with Italy (see CatchPhrase). His real name is Enzo Facchetti but he goes by his non-Italian sounding StageName, Stanis [[EverythingSoundsSexierInFrench La Rochelle]].

* ItsAllAbotMe: The idea that the world doesn't revolve around him is unthinkable to him.
* {{Jerkass}}: He's insufferable pretty much all the time. Even when he is trying to be affable, he comes off as a condescending jerk.
* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: While usually a CasanovaWannabe, season 2 suggests he may have some HiddenDepths when he falls in love with Arianna and claims that he would do anything to win her heart and marry her. But after he (shockingly) manages to have sex with her, he loses any interest in Arianna, except to brag about her being one of his sexual conquests to feed his own ego.
* LargeHam: With his overly pretentious and flamboyant ways, Stanis is this both on and off camera.
* NiceCharacterMeanActor: Stanis, a {{Jerkass}} actor, plays Giorgio Corelli, a goodhearted doctor and the hero of ''The Eyes of the Heart''. Although he also plays Giorgio's EvilTwin Eric…

* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Prone to ramble on absentmindedly, even in her EstablishingCharacterMoment.
* ContrastingReplacementCharacter: Corinna was a DumbBlonde and terrible actress who actually has the ambition of becoming a star. Cristina is a good actress and BrainyBrunette who doesn't want to be an actress and is only part of the show because she is forced to.
* NaiveNewcomer: While Alessandro was this in season 1, she takes the role of the clueless newcomer in season 2.
* SpoiledBrat: Unintentionally. Her father is a rich powerful man and the reason why she got the role. Cristina can be inconsiderate and thoughtless, but not on purpose and she is also willing to apologize.
