I’m talking truly side characters - ones who aren’t in every episode or don’t have many, if any, episodes where they are the focus (so Dwight, as an example, wouldn’t qualify).

Watching Veep again and Congressman Furlough is probably my favorite example of this, which prompted the thread.

Others who come to mind for me are Jean-Ralphio and Mose. What say you?

Jean-Ralphio


First one that came to mind. He steals every scene he's in.

He was only in the early seasons of the Simpsons, but got to give it Lionel Hutz.

RIP Phil Hartman.

Easily one of the funniest SNL alumni, and that's a pretty impressive list.

NoHo Hank is great... and that actor plays easily one of the best characters in Gotham as well.
