** Ben Carson, neurosurgeon and future Presidential candidate.
** Candy Carson, author and Carson's wife.
* UncomfortableElevatorMoment: On his first day of work, Ben is the only colored person in the elevator, and the only one to give a cheery good morning to the other doctors. This doesn't stop him from saying good morning the next time, though.
