There are a lot of characters to talk about when it comes to GLOW, because there are the women and then there are the alter egos in the ring. Let's break them down. Ruth (Brie) is the main character. We will talk more about her personal life later on, but Ruth decides to portray a stereotypical Russian villain named Zoya as her GLOW persona. Debbie (Gilpin) is a former soap opera actress with a new baby. She's accidentally cast in the show and becomes the all-American hero Liberty Belle. Sam Sylvia (Marc Maron) is the d-list director of GLOW, and Bash (Chris Lowell) is the spoiled young producer whose mother is bankrolling the show.
Debbie and Ruth are the two leads and need-to-know personas, but here are the rest! (Fair warning, the '80s was not worried about being politically correct.)
