Jimmy is the Head of the Council of the Grim Reapers. He acts as Zak's mentor in the film. Jimmy absolutely loves his job and can't see why Zak is not thrilled to be a Grim Reaper. Jimmy is over-enthusiastic, unpredictable and moody. He is patient and gives each person one chance but then is unforgiving after that. He does not like to repeat himself and remains professional at all times. The role requires for the actor to be able to perform some really basic action scenes.

Sophie, 23, is very social, caring, bubbly and girly. Throughout the film she is oblivious to Zak and his dilemma. She studies Photovoltaics and Solar Energy at university (same degree as Zak) so she is an intelligent, independent woman. She treats Zak like her other half. In the film they celebrate their five year anniversary over a romantic dinner.

This character is the original Grim Reaper who dies and Zak takes his place.
