One of the reasons why "iZombie" remains a fan favorite on The CW is because of its amazing guest supporting cast, which interestingly enough is mostly made up of men. Liv (played by Rose McIver) is surrounded by Blaine, Major, Clive and Ravi, who make her already complicated zombie life more colorful.
Blaine (played by David Anders) is the zombie who scratched Liv, while Major (played by Robert Buckley) is her former fiancé. Clive (played by Malcom Goodwin) and Ravi (played by Rahul Kohli) are her co-workers in the police precinct. Each of them has this important connection to Liv and, at the moment, their characters could be indispensable to "iZombie" despite being on opposing sides.
Off-screen, these "iZombie" actors share a friendship and bond that was formed because of their working relationship for the last two years. The actors recently discussed their closeness and what it's like working with each other with TV Insider.

There is apparently a lot of ass-slapping on the set of "iZombie" and it's instigated when Major has his scenes. Robert Buckley has this down to a ritual before every take and even has Rose McIver join in on it, the actor shared in the interview.
Malcom Goodwin truly enjoyed it when "iZombie" revealed more to his character's side, aside from being a cop in the second season of "iZombie." Clive had a love angle and was shown to be a serious Knicks fans, which the actor really is in real life.
While Ravi's usual scenes involve light and funny moments at the medical examiner's office in "iZombie," Rahul Kohli likes it when his character gets some serious and emotional stuff to do as well. David Anders reveals he's enjoying the "little love triangle" his character Blaine has with Ravi and Peyton (played by Aly Michalka).
This love triangle will be explored further in "iZombie" Season 3, where Michalka confessed, in a separate interview, that she's rooting for Ravi and Peyton to reunite. However, she believes that her character is strongly attracted to Blaine, thus making the choice harder, per Showbiz Junkies.
All four guys cannot believe the kind of response they have been getting from "iZombie" fans. They weren't even sure the show would click in the beginning. "Now [it's] headed into our third season and a great fan base and people who support us, and it's only expanding," said Kohli.
"iZombie" Season 3 is scheduled to return on The CW for the mid-season. Stay tuned for more news and updates about this series. In the meantime, watch the boys of "iZombie" goofing around in the video below.
