Linda Fusco

The following is a list of characters of Monk, an American comedy-drama detective mystery television series, created by Andy Breckman and starring Tony Shalhoub as the titular character, Adrian Monk. Except for two changes, the principal cast of the series remained consistent. For the first three seasons Sharona Fleming was Monks assistant. She left to remarry her ex-husband in the middle of season three. She was replaced by Natalie Teeger, in the episode Mr. Monk and the Red Herring, and remained Monks assistant for the remainder of the series. Stanley Kamel, who portrayed Monks therapist, Dr. Charles Kroger, died of a heart attack in April 2008, during the production hiatus in between seasons six and seven. Hence, starting with season seven, Monk gets a new therapist, Dr. Neven Bell, portrayed by Hector Elizondo, who remained for the final two seasons.Although their names appeared in the opening credits, Ted Levine and Jason Gray-Stanford had occasional absences from the series. Thus, Tony Shalhoub was the only cast member to appear in all 125 episodes.
