Ed Norton / The Honeymooners Barney Fife / The Andy Griffith Show Kramer, Newman / Seinfeld Nick Yemana / Barney Miller Pam Beesly / The Office
I don't know about absolute favorite, but definitely up there on the list... David Proval as Richie Aprile from The Sopranos
Absolutely! And he's such a sweet guy in real life, amazing that he could transform into Richie so believably.
I'm torn between Darrell and his other brother Darrell. More recently my favorites have been literary translations, such as The Expanse's Drummer, and Harry Bosch. Or the man in corporate hell, Jim Halpert, probably inspired from the UK Office series before it. But since I hate the series he's in, nobody gets more sympathy from me than Green Acres' Oliver W. Douglas, who subjected himself to a bucolic Dante's inferno of stupid.
"What does Yellow mean?....." My favorite tv character is Floyd the Barber from "Andy Griffith Show". Close second Barney Fife.
