- Ben Browder (John Crichton) Only a few actors appeared in every episode of Farscape, and one of them was Ben Browder. That's understandable, as his character's search for a place aboard the ship while also avoiding the crew's violent enemies was one of the central plots of the show.
- Claudia Black (Aeryn Sun) One of the central characters of Farscape was the former Peacekeeper Aeryn Sun. Played by Claudia Black, Aeryn's trust of (and romance with) human John Crichton helped establish the show's plot in the early going, and Aeryn proved to be a formidable force throughout Farscape's run.
- Anthony Simcoe (Ka D'Argo) The Luxan warrior Ka D'Argo, played by Anthony Simcoe, was another of Farscape's central characters. He was long held prisoner by the Peacekeeper forces, and proved to be a good friend and powerful ally as the crew of Moya explored the Uncharted Territories.
- Lani Tupu (Pilot & Bialar Crais) Lani Tupu is credited as appearing in every episode of Farscape, though his dual role on the show meant that he was sometimes on camera and sometimes voice acting.
