Favorite very brief characters

How about that guy Tate [spoiler]created out of thin air, who never spoke and got shot almost immediately![/spoiler]What a character!

He was played by an actor named Alexander Cort!  Don't ask me how Karlenfan found that out, because I don't *believe* he's even credited on any of the eps (2 I think) he was in.  

How about Haza and Oberon, those two Leviathans, who shanghai Barnabas?

I don't believe that we ever got to hear Haza (or Hazar?) ever actually speak.  However, Oberon was quite loquacious.  In fact, Oberon was so talkative and downright grandiloquent, that he even made the haughty Diabolos sound like comedian Norm Crosby by comparison!

I loved Death!

No, not literally.

I expect Sheenasma and/or Criseyde to ring in here w/a hearty agreement seeing as [spoiler]it was Death who killed Amanda Harris![/spoiler]   

Oh, I just thought of another.  That guy who sold the drugs to Cyrus in PT1970.  He was such a sleazy, creepy, icky guy, and he did sleaze, creep and ick so well!

I'm nuts for Gordon Russell in the last episode as second coachman.

I suppose it goes without saying that this week when I saw another appearance by Emory Bass on DVD set 25 as a minister a smile crossed my lips. 

King Johnny was certainly the most colorful and entertaining brief character with his fiery Meditteranean temper (and unusual, an Italian in a primarily WASP-ish cast of characters).

The CUTEST brief character was Suki Forbes ( a hot blonde cutie - unfortunate that she ended up with a scoundrel such as Nathan Forbes). 

King Johnny just escapes me. I don't mind him, but I don't really like him either. I guess he just wasn't on there for too long like Julianka, not long enough for me to form an opinion.

Grandmama Edith was so awesome! Such quick wit and a very sharp tongue for her age! She was a true classic character!

King Johnny just escapes me. ... I guess he just wasn't on there for too long like Julianka, not long enough for me to form an opinion.

Umm, King Johnny was in 5 episodes and Julianka was in 4. Not much difference there. 

Why do I suspect that, like MagnusTrask, your brain isn't the only part of your anatomy influencing your preference for Julianka?

(Sarcastically) Hey, while we're at it, why don't we start a whole thread about my wang.   Sheeesh.   But come to think of it..... naaah.

Well, until you just came right out and named the body part, no actual names had been used - though I'll certainly concede the part WAS strongly implied.    And true, that particular comment did single you out - but as I recall, my original remark referenced the influence that body part has on EVERY man. I simply referenced you while replying to Brandon Collins because the original remark had been connected to you in a later response to what you had said in reference to Julianka. So, one could actually say you made the connection to your own body part with your own reference to Julianka before anyone else did.      And when someone makes that sort of humorous reference, well, it's fair game for others to run with - especially in a similarly humorous manner. 

As for starting a whole thread, though, well, that would probably be a bit too OT for this forum.    But there are plenty of other forums/blogs that would welcome it. And if you ever do decide to go that route, well, by all means feel free to post a link for any forum readers who might be interested in it.

What I meant by my statement was that he and Julianka were both on for a short period of time. A week's worth of episodes isn't that long compared to some of the other characters that were short-lived. And I didn't get to judge either of them really that much because we didn't get to see what they were like outside of the situations that they were presented in, which were largely the same.

I dunno, Magda is the only gypsy for me.

Thanks for clarifying. Though, given several other posters seem to share his opinion, MagnusTrask obviously isn't, um, "standing" alone.    (Though, given a few other opinions that have been shared through the years, Julianka might have a bit of competition from King Johnny's widow.  )

Same here.
