You can wipe away a memory… But can you wipe away a soul?                   

Dollhouse Aired From February 13, 2009 – January 29, 2010 On FOX.

About the Show:
The show follows an organization that employs mind-wiped DNA-altered humans known as Dolls who are implanted with false memories and skills for various missions and tasks. When they are not 'at work' they are living in a real life Dollhouse which gives the show the name. One of those mind-wiped humans, a young woman named Echo, is slowly starting to become aware of herself and what's going on - all the while somebody on the outside is trying to bring the Dollhouse down while getting closer to Echo - possibly not aware that she is one of the Dolls he is after.

Echo is an “Active,” a member of a highly illegal and underground group of individuals hired out for particular jobs.  Her mind and personality have been wiped clean.  She is whomever the job needs her to be – a best friend… a lethal assassin.

The hidden futuristic facility hiding the Actives is called “The Dollhouse,” and the leaders of the Dollhouse hire Echo and her fellow Actives out to wealthy clients.  As Whedon says, Actives don’t just perform their job duties, they become the person that a client needs them to be.  The Dollhouse sees to that.

Only, what is this secret worth?  How can it stay a secret forever?

And more importantly… what happens when something unplanned takes place?  What happens when the Actives start to think for themselves.
Dollhouse will make you ask the question, you can wipe away a memory…but can you wipe away a soul?
                     
Cast & Characters:

Alan Tudyk	Alpha Formerly Carl William Craft, Alpha is a rogue Active who escaped the Dollhouse. Before coming to the Dollhouse, he was a prisoner convicted of kidnapping and attempted murder. When the Dollhouse was starting up, it needed "guinea pigs"; he was able to reduce his sentence by agreeing to become an Active for five years.
Eliza Dushku	Echo Formerly Caroline Farrell, Echo is an Active and star of the series. She is one of the most popular Actives in the Dollhouse, and, during the course of her engagements, has shown skills that transcend the limitations of her parameters. Echo has become increasingly self-aware during her blank state, remembering facets of her previous engagements, recognizing that she can be imprinted with different personalities, and remembering facts from her previous life such as her name.
Teddy Sears	Mike is an Active who first appears in Needs. He shares a room with Echo, November, Sierra, and Victor. Along with his roommates in "Needs", he awakens with most of his original personalities intact. However, his "need" was never revealed as he was caught by the Dollhouse security. He expressed symptoms of paranoid schizophrenia, believing he and his fellow Actives were caught in the clutches of a malign extraterrestrial experiment.
Miracle Laurie	November whose real name is Madeline Costley, she is originally introduced to the series as Mellie, the neighbor, romantic interest, and confidante of Paul Ballard. November is in fact a "sleeper" Active.
Harry Lennix	Boyd Langton a former cop, a handler at the Dollhouse first assigned as Echo's handler. After Dominic is sent to the attic, Langton becomes the new head of security, though retaining a connection to Echo. He has doubts about the ethics of what the Dollhouse does with the Actives and is not afraid to share his reservations with the fellow staff, including DeWitt.
Tahmoh Penikett	Paul Ballard is the ex-FBI special agent assigned to the Dollhouse case. While most in the Bureau view the case as a joke, he takes it seriously, to the point of obsession. Throughout the show, his main objective is to rescue Caroline. He had become involved with his neighbor Mellie before discovering the Dollhouse imprinted her to spy on him. He then distances himself from her, using her vulnerability to follow her to the Dollhouse's location. In "Omega" he agrees to work for the Dollhouse in exchange for the freedom of November.
Dichen Lachman	Sierra Formerly Priya, Sierra is the most recent Active to be added to the Dollhouse. Before coming to the Dollhouse, she rejected the sexual advances of a wealthy man named Nolan. Discouraged, he sold her into the Dollhouse so that he would be able to have her whenever he wanted.
Olivia Williams	Adelle DeWitt is the highest ranking official at the Los Angeles Dollhouse. She truly believes that what they do at the Dollhouse helps people. Prior to working in the Dollhouse, her job entailed growing human organs out of stem cells. Although Adelle is the head of her Dollhouse, she does answer to off-screen superiors, as the LA Dollhouse is just one of more than twenty worldwide with their headquarters in Tucson, Arizona.E-6 She is revealed to be "Miss Lonelyhearts" who has hired out Victor several times for romantic encounters to quell her intense loneliness.
Enver Gjokaj	Victor is an Active who has made friends with Echo and Sierra. The character is introduced as Russian gangster Lubov, whose real identity as a Doll is revealed later. The character is also regularly hired out on romantic engagements for one "Miss Lonelyhearts".
Fran Kranz	Topher Brink is the scientist who operates the Dollhouse technology and uses it to imprint new personalities on the Actives. He has stated that the technology takes imprints from existing people, which he then mixes and matches to create the desired imprint. A genius, Topher has a cocky, if quirky, attitude which puts him at odds with Ballard, who believes that Topher cannot completely wipe a person's soul from their body. On his birthday, Topher is able to use an Active to goof off with in order to celebrate under the guise of an "anterior insular cortex diagnostic".
