TV character you or others think you are most like

While watching The Big Bang theory, my wife said that I was like a cross between Sheldon (from that programme) and Uncle Bryn (from Gavin and Stacey)

She also said that I was like Victor Meldrew from One Foot in the Grave and also a bit like Doc Martin.

So which characters from TV/films does anyone feel they share characteristics with?

  • Trainspotter, very interesting question, and very interesting point made by lostmyway.  I'm not sure which TV or film characters I resemble, because I watch barely any TV at all (apart from The Big Bang Theory, Eggheads, and occasional other programmes).  My interests always seem to have been in other areas/hobbies, such as radio/computers/photography etc.  The other thing is that there has to be an equivalent person that resembles us in the TV or film worlds, so considering our uniqueness, it's not always easy to be compared with any actor/presenter - if that makes sense?

    lostmyway, your comment about empathy is one I really do understand and recognise.  I can never understand why so much energy is wasted sympathizing by most people, where actual action will really solve the issue/problem at hand.  It's not that we don't care - it's just the desire to look at an issue logically, and get it sorted out as quickly as possible in the best way.  An example would be when at the scene of an accident there are flowers tied to a nearby tree, whereas actually contacting a council (if the road is a known problem area), or joining a campaign against speeding (if that were the cause), seems to be a much more practical and long lasting tribute to somebody's life.
