Some of these are kind of goofy selections; Wilson on Home Improvement was obviously seen on camera quite a bit and had a lot of lines, even if we never saw his mouth move. Come to think of it, that was a pretty dumb way to make a character seem mysterious. Way to be dumb, Tim Allen. And while I'm at it, I don't entirely approve of you, either, Kim Kardashian.

MARIS CRANE OVER DOCTOR CLAW AND UGLY NAKED GUY?!

This just cannot suffice! IT CANNOT!

Also, Wilson was the shit.

No love for M*A*S*H's Sparky? After doing countless favors for Radar and Klinger for over 10 years, they only showed his face once toward the beginning of the series.

Good compilation. Maris and Steinbrenner are my favorites.

I always thought the yellow eyed demon from Supernatural would have been a better character if he remained unseen.

Woah i never realised Larry David is the voice of George Steinbrenner. Mind Blown. I guess I never watched many episodes of seinfeld after curb was out.

I was the same way. But going back and watching Seinfeld, it seems like it should have been so obvious.

Ah, Frasier. Such a great show.

I always think of "Sweetie Pie" from Fibber McGee and Molly preformed by the incomparable Bill Thompson - and, while this was on radio, his Wallace Wimple (some credit this character with the coining of the word "wimp") inspired Tex Avery to create Droopy Dog and have Thompson use the Wimple voice for him.

@Huxley:

Larry David actually played several roles on Seinfeld.

@Sammo21: Well if you think about it he kind of did. With all of the demons and angels in that shows all we ever really see are their "meat suits". :)

@ZipCrash: I suppose so but I found him a lot more evocative as being just the yellow eyes in the dark. I loved the actor who portratyed him in season...2 I think (where he finally shows up) but I think he would have worked better as literally from the shadows.

@Sammo21: Yea I don't disagree. I'm just being a smartass. :)
