All Time Coolest Foreign Character on American TV: nominations (NSFW?)
 

Okay, the rules are it needs to be an American TV series, not an import. I'll allow an American affecting a foreign accent - no extraterrestrials though. I don;t think we'll bother asking for seconds and stuff.


Okay, I'm starting with two English ones:

Davey Jones in The Monkeys
Higgins from Magnum

PS. I'm not familiar with a lot of new US TV, so if you post a pic, plz post the name/show too.

Is Fez from that 70's show American? He sure talks like he was born in Mexico.

If he's allowed, I nominate him.

I have no idea what country, but she's a jeanie for cryin' out loud. But she did have a funny little accent and there aren't jeanies from America. She was born 2,000 years ago so she's definitely not from America unless she's a freaking Indian. And she has a nephew Little Abdullah, Uncle Azmire, Uncle Vasmir, Uncle Suleiman Maharaja Basenji, and Great Grandfather Bilejik. Sounds foreign to me.

ok then what country is she from?
She came from a bottle, not a country therefore she is not a contender.

I just said, I don't know where. The rules don't say you have to know the country, but the bottle was obviously in a country when she was born, if she was even born in the damn bottle. No one knows where Fez is from, but he's definitely foreign. Jeannie is obviously foreign. Now stop being a stupidass.

Fez does not come out of a bottle and don't insult me. Maybe you should be posting under your real account.

Look, the show says she was born 2,000 years ago. She was born somewhere. I don't know if it was in the bottle or outside the bottle. But she's not an Indian and there weren't any bottle in America 2,000 years ago so she was born on foreign soil. That's my argument.
