- Roseanne Barr (Roseanne Conner) Roseanne leads the family. She’s crass, sarcastic, and not afraid to tell it like it is. However, Roseanne is simultaneously a hard-working and dedicated mother just doing the best she can under tough circumstances.
- Michael Fishman (DJ Conner) DJ Conner is the incredibly boisterous son who showed that he could tease his older sisters with ease at a young age. And quite often the words coming out of his mouth didn’t suit a young child, but man was it funny.
- Sara Gilbert (Darlene Conner) Darlene is the second eldest child with probably the best comedic timing of the offspring. Funny and personable, producers knew how crucial Gilbert’s talent was for the show.
- John Goodman (Dan Conner) Dan Conner is a true-blue collar, easygoing family man and a perfect foil to the abrasive Roseanne. He struggles to maintain composure but does not struggle in skill, the man often stole the show.
- Jamie Lerner
- Roseanne Barr (Roseanne Conner) Before she became known as America's outspoken mom on Roseanne, Roseanne Barr was a stand-up comedian. She wasn't afraid to say what was on her mind, so it's no surprise she was "canceled" after making a racist comment on Twitter about Obama administration official Valerie Jarrett.
- John Goodman (Dan Conner) Many of us remember John Goodman as Fred Flinstone in the 1994 film, The Flinstones, but that's far from his most impressive credit.
- Laurie Metcalf (Jackie Harris) Laurie played Roseanne's younger sister, Jackie, on Roseanne, and is still in The Conners as the kids' loving aunt. While Roseanne was one of Laurie's earliest television roles, she has since made moves, winning an Emmy for her guest role in Hacks in 2022 and an Academy Award nomination for her role as Marion McPherson in Lady Bird.
- Lecy Goranson (Becky Conner) Lecy Goranson played the original Becky, although she left temporarily to attend Vassar College. Her sporadic appearances and scheduling were played as a gag, so she returned in full to The Conners as Becky later on.
- ‘Roseanne’ Cast: Then and Now. Roseanne fans have been keeping up with the Conner family since the 1980s, from the original sitcom to its short-lived revival and hit spinoff, The Conners.
- Roseanne Barr. The comic became a household name when Roseanne premiered in the ‘80s. Since then, she has stirred controversy countless times, most infamously when she sang an off-key rendition of the national anthem at a 1990 baseball game and when her racist tweet led to the cancellation of the show’s revival in 2018.
- John Goodman. The actor stole hearts across America as Dan Conner and went on to have a hugely successful career in movies and TV. His most notable credits include Barton Fink, O Brother, Where Art Thou?
- Laurie Metcalf. It was not uncommon for the actress to outshine her Roseanne costars during her years playing the neurotic but loving Jackie. After the show ended in 1997, she had roles in Toy Story, Frasier, Desperate Housewives, The Big Bang Theory and Getting On in addition to starring in several Broadway plays.
