Robert California
This secondary character is a real man of mystery, or is he just insane? It is very hard to tell with this guy. He joined his show's cast very late in the game, but was overall a pretty great addition to the series. He comes in and out of episodes without ever being a main focus, but we got to see him enough to be able to recognize him by his face for sure. Who can name which show he is from?
Cece Parekh
This bombshell knows exactly how good she looks. Cece plays a model on her show, but after a few seasons as a secondary character she is developed into a rather down to earth women. Since fans reacted so well to her character, writers eventually made her role into a somewhat recurring one. Eventually Cece even became part of one of the series best love stories, and fans really rooted for her. Can anyone guess which of these shows she was from?
Neal Cassidy
Neal came onto his show as somewhat of a surprise at first. The series in general had a habit of tossing in new characters whenever the story line got a bit slow, but the thought behind Neal's addition made so much sense. While his character did not stick around as long as most fans had hoped, he got his well deserved time in the sun, and left a mark on anyone who watched the series. Which of these shows was his?
Teddy Altman
We are going to go ahead and drop a major clue for this lady. She is a kick butt surgeon - that we will confirm. What we need to know is which of these medical drama's she acted in. She specialized in Cardio (meaning she was a heart doctor). She was also one of the very best her Hospital had ever seen. If that wasn't enough, she was also a war hero! Pretty awesome character right? Which show was she on?
Bernadette Rostenkowski
This brainy blond bombshell is someone we can all look up to. Sure, she is a bit of a weirdo, but honestly who isn't? She worked very hard as a waitress for a long time, and was eventually able to earn herself a Ph.D (way to go!). She is now a well paid worker for a pharmaceutical company, and she has also since been married, and has had 2 children. Can anyone remember which of these sitcoms she is from?
Victoria
Like many secondary characters Victoria was never given a last name, but he role was certainly large enough for any TV buff to be able to remember. She was a top notch baker on her show, and was even given the chance to go to Germany to study her craft further. While she was there she fell in love with a man named, Klaus. While things did not turn out well for the couple, we think it was for the best.
Gendry
This guy was truly as tough as he looks. As important as his role was in his show, he was not exactly a main character. Due to the already very large cast of the show, there was only so much air time they could really give to each character. Unfortunately, this lead to us having to wait entire seasons between his appearances. Still, his story line was essential to the series. Can anyone guess which of the four options below is correct?
Karen Jackson
She looks rather innocent and harmless doesn't she? Well, anyone who knows exactly which of these shows she is from, knows that she is anything but innocent and harmless. She started off as a teenage girl just looking to rebel a little, but things got way out of hand, and she was never really able to save herself from the mistakes she made. Since she had been so evil, the fans of the show didn't really mind. Which of these options is correct?
The Waitress
Yes, that is correct, her official character name is "The Waitress". While she is featured very regularly on the show, she does not actually have a name, not one that we know anyways. As everyone may have guess, she played a waitress on her show, but she also had to change jobs a lot due to the fact that she was being stalked by one of the show's main characters. In his defense he really did love her quite a bit, he just had issues expressing it.
Shane Walsh
This guy will be easily recognized by anyone who enjoys the spookier options on television. He was not exactly a well liked character, but man, was the actor ever good at playing someone we all loved to hate! He started off as a pretty stand up guy actually, but after some trying events his character turned to the dark side, and was never able to make his way back. Can anyone guess which of these horror themed shows was his?
Ashley Banks
This little lady, was not much of a little lady at all by the time her series ended. She was a part of her show the entire way through. She was the little cousin of our main character, and she was just delightful to watch on screen. Since she was so young when her show started out, fans really got a chance to watch her character grow and develop. This lead to the character getting some great story lines later on. What show was hers?
Laurie Forman
Since her show was on the air, we do not think anyone has been able to pull off the feathered hair look quite as well as Laurie did. She played the older sister to our main character. As far as older sisters go, she was probably the worst. She knew she help their father's favor and used it to her advantage (and to her brothers disadvantage) as often as she was able to. Which of these four shows belonged to her?
Ben Chang
Ben Chang was no ordinary teacher. In fact we do not think he was licensed to be a teacher at all, but thankfully for him he worked for a fairly low budget school, which was more than happy to employee less than qualified teachers. When we first met him he was not that bad of a teacher or a character in general, but over the seasons he became crazier, and his story lines got a bit out of hand. What show was he on?
Richie Cunningham
Richie was the kid who all the parents wished was their own. He was a good kid. Never got into much trouble, and when he did it was usually because he was chasing after a girl (which is to be expected). He was good friends with some of the cooler kids, but he stayed true to himself the whole way through the series, and was always kind of a dork. Which of these classics hits was Richie a character on?
Dawn Summers
Dawn Summers has been named one of TV's worst characters of all time on several different occasions. It really was not thefault of the actress, in fact she did a pretty good job at playing an annoying little sister, who is constantly getting in the way. It was just that she was written as an unlikable character, every show needs one. Because the fans of this show were such die-hard's, Dawn here ended up getting a bit of a bad deal.
C.J Barns
This guy was a late addition to the show but a much needed one. He came along just in time to save the series from failing after it lost one of it's main characters. C.J was a bright light for the show and its fans. He was played by the unforgettable David Spade, and to this day this role remains one of his very best. Looking at the options listed below, can anyone remember which one C.J was actually from?
Paris Geller
These days this actress is playing some much bigger roles, but back in the day she was Paris Geller. An over achieving high school student, with one hell of an attitude. She was able to speak about a hundred words a minutes, and most of them were usually rude. Most fans chalked this up to the way she was raised, since later in the series after leaving home, she simmered down a bit (not entirely, but a bit). Which of these options is correct?
Rufus Humphrey
Who doesn't love a man stuck in the 90's? Rufus was exactly that guy. He was part of a mildly famous band back in the day, and he has trouble discussing anything other than that. He has two children, and he is truly a decent father to the both of them. He unfortunately did not get the love story he deserved in the series, but still, he was one of the better secondary characters from the show. Which she was his?
Dylan Marshall
Dylan was introduced into his show as the new boyfriend of the main family's eldest daughter. She was a high school student, who eventually brought him home (Dylan was an older boy). Clearly he was not the first choice her parents would have pick for their daughter, but over all he had good intentions (for a teenage boy anyways). After a couple seasons on the show, Dylan proved to have a good heart. Which of the options below was his show?
Mr. Feeney
Mr. Feeney used his time on his show to teach its other characters (not to mention its fans) important life lessons. Sure he was a teacher, and taught a bunch of stuff, but he did not stop at academics. He was a brilliant man who took it upon himself to steer his students into positive life paths, truly giving them each their best chance at a happy ending. Looking at these four options, can anyone remember which show he was from?
Gunther
O.k, so we wouldn't exactly say one would need to be a TV buff to get this one right, but they will have certainly needed to be a fan of 90's sitcoms. He was featured in every season of the show's series, but he never crossed over into being a main character. This was better, because he played his small role of coffee house manager so perfectly. Can anyone remember which of these shows this extremely blond man is from?
Hilda Spellman
Hilda was one of two aunts who were left to raise their young niece. Since neither of them had ever had children of their own, this lead to some hilarious story lines. Hilda was always a bit of a mess. She definitely handled the role of being "good cop" when ever they found themselves needing to discipline their niece. Even though she was a bit of a scatter brain, she loved her niece and was a good parental figure to her.
Mike Ehrmantraut
Oh Mike, what an amazing character he was. He was another one who was introduced rather late in his series, but none of the fans ever had a complaint about him. He was instantly everyone's favorite guy. He was a steady man, not a good man, a steady one. He was reliable and extremely good at his job. All he ever wanted in life was to be able to support his loved ones. Unfortunately, this want lead him to some poor decisions.
Marvin McFadden
Some may know him as Marvin, but any true fans know him as "Mouth". The nickname was given to him because of his talents, and interests in broadcasting. He was kind of a geek, but got a pass because he was the voice behind all of his high school's sports games. He was a devoted sports reporter, who continued on the same path even after graduation. Can anyone remember which show this nerdy, yet some how popular guy was from?
George Jefferson
Now, any fans of classic television will know this face for sure, but the tricky thing with George is that he was part of several different classic sitcoms. He was such an awesome secondary character that eventually he got his very own show! Since he was known more for his leading role, it may be hard for everyone to remember where George actually got started. Looking closely at the 4 options below, can anyone remember in which TV show he played a secondary character?
Donna Paulsen
This secondary character would not actually stand for being called a secondary character (even though she is). She was fierce, beautiful,confident, and well aware that she possessed all of these traits. She was the type of character that stole the scene even if she didn't have any lines in it, not something that is easily done. While not all fans were happy with the way things played out for her, one thing is for sure, she was the best! Which is her show?
Robert Barone
Robert played the brother to the main character of his show. They were not exactly the closest brothers to ever be written into a television series, but over the seasons events happened that showed how much they actually cared for each other. Robert was a police officer, who still lived at home. Even once he was married he did not leave his parents house, he instead had his wife move in with the lot of them. A weird choice that is for sure!
Emma Pillsbury
This adorable little lady brought the term OCD to a whole other level. To say she was a clean freak would be the understatement of the year. Because she worked as an educator this became a problem for her on several occasions. Her anxiety only began to grow over the seasons, until she eventually realized it was a problem she would need professional help to solve. She was actually quite an inspiration to a lot of her students. Which show was she on?
Morgan Tookers
Need a good laugh? This guy is your go to option. While the show he was on was hilarious itself, Morgan took the reins as the funny guy, especially in the first couple of seasons. Morgan was a nurse on his show. He was not exactly qualified, but did his very best. His most important job in the series however, was to ensure its leading lady had everything she needed, Can anyone remember which of these shows Morgan was on?
Brad Taylor
Brad was the eldest of three boys, not an easy spot to be in for sure. He spent a lot of his time picking on his younger siblings, and even more time fussing over his hair. His hair was something he would frequently change in the hopes that pretty girls at his school would notice. He was a very athletic boy, more so than either of his brothers. He was a pretty good kid over all, there was however one incident with the police...
Gob Bluth
If anyone here does not recognize this man, please do not waste time trying to figure out how to pronounce his first name, one of his funnier story lines is the fact that no one on his show knows how to say it except for his family. Gob is a less than talented magician. He has killer stage presence, and an even better walk out song during his shows, but really, he is not very good. Does anyone know which show he is on?
Rosario Salazar
Rosario was never actually supposed to be more than a one time character on her show, but since fans seemed to love her so much the writers made her a regular secondary character. She was the personal maid for one of the main characters, and had tremendous amounts of patience (the only way she was able to survive the job). Looking at the 4 options given below, can anyone here remember which of them was the show she played in?
Rose Harper
O.k we hate to say it, but Rose was some what of a nut job. She met a man, had a fabulous one night encounter, and she remained completely obsessed with him for the 8 years following the event. She stalked him day and night, this being made easy by the fact that she lived a few houses down. In the end it paid off, as she eventually won him over and married the man. Which show are we talking about?
Barbara Holland
Barbara took the world by storm after her brief entrance into her series. She did not have the biggest role, nor the most important, but after her role was finished fans everywhere declared their unwavering love for her. Barb, did not get the ending she deserved, but it is safe to say that she will never be forgotten. Since her role was so limited this may be a trickier one. Can anyone pick out the correct show title out of the four listed below?
Lillian Kaushtupper
Lilian is a very unique character. She comes in and out of episodes, always on some crazy mission that does not really effect the main story line at all, but leaves all the fans laughing. In the more recent seasons of the series she has become a more essential character. This has to be due to the fact that Carol Kane does such a fantastic job potraying this role. Can anyone here pick out which Netflix original she is from?
