Amoukar (Quest for Fire, 1981)
As
one of the three members of the Neanderthal tribe sent on the Quest to
find fire, Amoukar is proven to be brave, resourceful and tenacious. But
unfortunately he's a good way down the pecking order, and so he never
gets a chance with the ladies, but he makes up for it with his trend-setting
hair style - unlike the others, he has a pair of sticks artfully stuck
in his mane of hair - and stoic good humour. He also has a difficult time
figuring out how to carry an armful of breadfruit ...
Zeno (The Ice Pirates, 1984)
Pirate
and space-chef extraordinaire, Zeno is a cheerful soul who backs his captain
to the hilt, is loyal, tough and he just loves to cook.
He can work wonders with a tablespoonful of carrots, and he's especially fond of food cooked to the secret recipe of his dear, dead Mother ...
Salvatore (The Name of the Rose, 1986)
Salvatore
is the bobbing, shambling, half-mad heretic monk who haunts the cloisters
of the remote Abbey where evil lurks in the dead of night.
A fawning, scrofulous hunchback, he has a penchant for eating rats and tinkering with the black arts. But he has his secrets, and is certainly not as imbecilic as he appears ...
Vincent (Beauty and the Beast, TV series, 1987-1989)
The
ultimate romantic hero, Vincent is all things - warrior, poet and scholar.
He is gentle, handsome and brave, his great heart capable of such love
that when he meets Catherine Chandler that rarest of things occurs ...True
Love.
Yet closeted in the tunnels beneath New York City, his appearance hidden from the eyes of men, he fears their relationship is doomed. But Catherine and Vincent are fated to be one ...
Jacob Shuler (A Stoning in Fulham County, TV 1988)
A
gentle, hardworking member of the Amish community, Jacob is a devout man
whose faith and family are both shattered by the sensless and violent
death of his youngest child.
He also discovers how intrusive the outside world can be in a community that treasures its insularity and independence, and he realises that life is about to change forever.
Frank Cerillo (Blind Man's Bluff, TV 1992)
Frank
seems to be a nice guy trying his best in the cut-throat world of real
estate. He's apparently good at his job, is a loyal friend and has a beautiful
fiancee that loves him and he adores in return. But things are not quite
what they appear and things take a turn for the worse when a murder occurs
...
Robert 'Mac' McClure (Double Exposure, 1993)
Mac
is a hard-drinking private detective with a penchant for 'The MacAllan'
single malt whisky and a need to make himself some money. Drawn into a
plot to murder the lover of a client's wife, he becomes mired deeper as
a lethal error occurs and the wife is killed instead ...
'Pap' Finn (The Adventures of Huck Finn, 1993)
Ol'
Pap Finn, drunken, violent and greedy for his son Huck's inheritance,
he even contemplates disposing of his son in the most permanent way possible.
He gimps about the woods with his rifle at the ready and the metal brace
on his lame leg creaking ominously ... he sure is creepy enough to frighten
a b'ar out of a year's growth.
Angel de la Guardia (Cronos, 1993)
The
psychopathic, violent and bullying nephew of a mobster, Angel has a fixation
about his nose and an interest in plastic surgery. Outwardly fawning and
acquiescent towards his uncle, in private he hates his guts and would
like to see nothing better than see the old man get his just desserts
- and isn't averse to doling out the means to that particular end himself.
Not a nice guy.
