#12: Marshal Matt Dillon, Gunsmoke
B: Around 1830 (The creator of the show said Dillon, as a
young boy, saw his mother taking a bath in 1840)
D: Around 1912 is what we are going with, since James Arness
died at 88
Before we even get into what makes Marshall Dillon great,
just look at the size of his hands! He brought his 6’7” stature into Dodge City
and, subsequently, living rooms all across America in the 50s and stayed strong
and true well into the 70s. The ultimate “good old boy,” Matt Dillon doesn’t
always save the girl or recover the stolen bank money, but he always does the
right thing, and he generally does come out on top.
Most defining moment: His goodbye to Kitty speaks volumes
about his simplicity:
Matt Dillon: I was wonderin' if you
were going to come to say goodbye.
Kitty Russell: I was wonderin' too.
It isn't easy.
Matt Dillon: No, Kitty, it isn't.
Kitty Russell: Matt, I-I don't you
want to think... Well, it isn't that it's...
Matt Dillon: Kitty, we've never
needed explanations, have we?
Kitty Russell: No. Goodbye, Matt
Matt Dillon: Goodbye, Kitty
B: 1953
Where he is now: We will soon find out. Jerry Seinfeld
announced 3 days ago that another reunion will be released soon.
Go ahead and tell Seinfeld creator and star of Curb Your
Enthusiasm Larry David that George is a buffoon and an idiot, incapable of
being smart. I dare you. George’s character was based on Larry, and the laughs
just never stop coming. His narcissism and unwavering pursuit to right all the
wrongs are precisely what makes him the most important character on the
greatest comedy TV show ever made.
Most defining moment: George’s fiancé dies from licking the
apparently poisonous seals of their wedding invitations, of which George only
bought because they were the cheapest ones available.
Born: March 15, 1964
Where he is now: Director of Paper Distribution for the
Department of Natural Resources
Michael Scott is not a very efficient office manager, and he
really isn’t the best person either. He brings immaturity to new levels, and
his selfishness introduces us to a plethora of schemes and childishness to make
sure things go his way. He is, however, an amazing salesman, which is why he
has been promoted to where he is. His gaffs, indecencies, and facial
expressions are what make him one of the most beloved characters ever.
Most defining moment: While driving, he trusts his GPS
navigating system over Dwight when he ignores Dwight’s screaming and pleading
and coasts into a lake because he believes the GPS told him to.
