Mid 30’s. George is a small-town man with big dreams. He dreams of getting out of Bedford Falls and seeing the world before becoming an influential member of society, but when circumstances arise continually in his hometown that prevent him from following this dream, he chooses to do what is right and sacrifice himself for the good of the town. He takes over his father's business when his father passes away to keep it out of a corrupt businessman's hands.
Mid 30’s. Mary is a young woman in Bedford Falls who becomes George's wife. Loving him since she was a little girl, Mary is a dynamic complement to George, sharing his values of generosity and compassion, while also helping him to clarify his dreams and ambitions. She is the glue in her family and the one who has always been certain of who she is and certain that who she is includes her love for George.
Potter is the richest man in Bedford Falls and has a desire to accumulate as much money and power in the town as possible, often at the expense of those less fortunate than himself. He is an avaricious and corrupt man, who thinks only of profit and never of the common good. The Baileys have been standing in his way of absolute power for years, and George continues his father's legacy of helping those who need it most.
Harry is George's younger brother, a dynamic, handsome, and charming young man. Harry is meant to take over the Building and Loan, but after becoming a football star in college he marries a woman and takes a job at her father's company. He later goes on to win the Congressional Medal of Honor in WWII.
Uncle Billy is George's uncle and business associate at the Building and Loan. Billy has a good heart and a deep compassion, but he's forgetful and misplaces $8,000 by accidentally giving it to Potter at the bank when he was supposed to deposit it, which leads to the Building and Loan nearly going out of business. Billy is lovable, but infuriatingly absentminded at times, more intent on taking care of his pet squirrel and crow than in paying attention to practical matters.
Clarence is an angel who has yet to get his wings in heaven. He is sent to stop George from taking his life during his lowest point. Clarence shows George what life in Bedford Falls would be like had he never been born, a hypothetical reality that terrifies and disturbs George. He is a benevolent soul, intent on showing George how valuable he is, and earning his wings.
