SEAL Team is a military drama. It dives into lives of elite Navy SEALs. They tackle high-stakes missions. Action? Check. Complex relationships? Double check. It also shows mental and emotional struggles of these brave folks. Critics love it for its realistic take on military life. It’s a nuanced look at modern heroes. Or maybe just guys in cool gear.

Meet the characters from SEAL Team

Jason Hayes

Jason is the grizzled, steady center of the team — the kind of leader who says one line and somehow everyone knows what to do. Stoic and scarred, he’s the moral compass but also the guy who’ll drink terrible diner coffee at 3 a.m. and then lecture you about accountability — and yeah, he’s kind of a softie with photographs, don’t tell him I said that. He’s haunted in a good way? No, that sounded weird, but you know, history clings to him and he carries it like an old duffel bag.

Clay Spenser

Clay is the young-ish hotshot who’s still figuring out what being a man in a team means — equal parts idealist and bruiser. He’ll quote philosophy one minute and break down a door the next, which is honestly his charm (and also his problem sometimes). There’s something nerdy about him too, like he collects useless trivia or names his plants — wait, did he name one “Larry”? — anyway, he’s fiercely loyal and a little messy in the best way.

Ray Perry

Ray is the heart and the comic relief that will also clear a room with military-grade efficiency when needed. He’s loud, proud, a family man who somehow remembers everyone’s birthdays and also has the wildest stories about his cousins (real or exaggerated, who knows). He’s the kind of guy who jokes while he’s calculating tactical exits and then quietly wrecks anyone who underestimates him — also suspiciously into old-school watches.

Sonny Quinn

Sonny is the hotheaded romantic — a walking contradiction who loves motorcycles, knives, and his weirdly tender friendships. He’s the “I’ll save you and probably trip” type; heroic, impulsive, and with a soft spot that will make you unexpectedly cry. He swears he hates poetry but will recite a line at 2 a.m. to make a point, and yes, he absolutely has a favorite diner.

Lisa Davis

Lisa is the smart, buttoned-up operator who lives in the gray areas — cool as a cucumber and quietly terrifying when she’s on a mission. She’s the liaison/analyst type who can read a room and a dossier and owns three different kinds of sunglasses for covert work (this is maybe true). Bureaucracy is her chessboard but she’s not above getting her hands dirty, and I swear she has a cactus on her desk that’s seen more meetings than most of us.

Trent

Trent is the dependable background force — the silent type who shows up and gets everything done even if he’s low-key dramatic about it later. He’s practical, efficient, and the kind of teammate who knows the hundred little tricks you forget exist; also he randomly collects mixtapes? Or was it postcards. Either way, don’t sleep on him: quiet but lethal, like a library with a punch.

Brock

Brock is big, blunt, and ridiculously steady — the guy you want at your back when things go sideways. He’s got this dry sense of humor and a weird obsession with perfect coffee ratios, which is adorable and infuriating in equal measure. Solid as a rock, sometimes a little stubborn (and occasionally sentimental about old mixtapes or that one dog), he’s the comforting, immovable presence on the team.

Eric Blackburn

Blackburn is the by-the-book commander who also tries really hard to be the good guy even when the job chews him up. Politically savvy, slightly weary, but sharp as a tack — he’ll counsel the team and then secretly agonize over tough calls at 2 a.m. He’s got the “dad in a blazer” energy but also collects vintage model ships or something very niche like that, and yes he’ll say he doesn’t cry but he does, quietly, once.

Mandy Ellis

Mandy is the cool, dangerous spy-analyst hybrid who smiles like she knows three seconds before you do what you’re about to do. She’s strategic, morally flexible, and utterly composed; also low-key dramatic with a surprising love of cheesy TV musicals (please imagine her humming during briefings). She’ll make the tough call and then defend it with unnerving calm — and then order a weird snack combo at midnight because why not.

Scott Carter

Scott is the quietly ambitious operator who’s always tinkering with tactics and second-guessing his own bravado. He’s competent, hungry for respect, and sometimes a smidge frustrated by the politics of the world he’s in — also he might hoard crossword puzzles, which is oddly soothing. Smart, reliable, and a little enigmatic, he’s the kind of guy who shows up prepared and surprises you with a weirdly soft anecdote about childhood summers.
