Verbena Beeks ( Candy Ann Brown) - The project's head psychiatrist. Gooshie once filled in for Al as Sam's holographic contact when Al was busy attempting to track down a murderer who escaped the waiting room. When he is seen, he tends to be in a state of worry due to Sam's present situation. He is the butt of jokes between Sam and (especially) Al. A quirky man, Gooshie is often described as "a little guy with bad breath". Irving "Gooshie" Gushman ( Dennis Wolfberg) - Project Quantum Leap's head computer programmer and senior operations coordinator. Originally, Donna was not involved with the project, until Sam altered history, thus ensuring her involvement and getting rid of the Committee (see below). Donna Eleese ( Teri Hatcher, age 19 / Mimi Kuzyk, age 45) - Born Donna Wojohowitz, she is Sam's wife and director of Project Quantum Leap in her husband's absence. Recurring characters Project Quantum Leap Al can get information from Ziggy through this device, or by simply asking out loud (Al sees whatever location Sam is in as a holographic projection and is always physically in close proximity to Ziggy). While Al is with Sam, he gets information from Ziggy through a faulty handheld device. Ziggy is programmed with historical information through Sam's life and has access to outside databases, and is able to project the likely effect of Sam's actions on history. But when Sam speaks to Ziggy directly, it shows that Ziggy is a self-operating computer who is capable of recognizing and expressing human emotions. In early episodes, it is suggested that Ziggy is the computer's operator. The computer has a feminine personality and a massive ego the latter feature is an accomplishment Sam is particularly proud of, as it makes Ziggy much more than a simple number-crunching machine.
