Nicholas Garnett – A native of Baltimore Maryland, Nicholas is an idealistic activist on issues of equality in addition to being an outspoken advocate for Gay Rights. Nicholas is also a student whose focus of study is towards Psychology and Sociology. While Nicholas may hotly debate Shawn and Brandon on points and issues, its all part of Nicholas, Shawn, and Brandon's subversive mission to re-educate society about how to argue in a civilized manner.
Brandon Boone - Born and raised in New York City. Brandon, also known as the man in the middle is the ground to Shawn’s and Nicholas’s often heated and jaw dropping debates. Brandon is usually the voice of calm. Brandon is the safe harbor in the war of words and opinions that will drive The Comfort Zone.
