This one was certainly not one I’d heard of. Here are some more: (1) Initially, (actor) was offered to play a character that was described to him as “very admirable, very polite”, and he decided to play that character as if he had “some kind of a secret”. Without knowing what that secret was, (actor) understood the potential \_\_\_\_\_\_ had as a growing character, therefore rejecting offers for guest appearances and insisting on becoming a series regular.[5] In order to achieve \_\_\_\_\_\_’ trademark calmness, (actor) utilized yoga classes he had been taking regardless of the series, which allowed him to convey the character by “being a good listener”. The humanity of \_\_\_\_\_\_’ personality played an integral role in his development, especially the very deep relationship with \_\_\_\_\_\_, which was interpreted by some viewers – and even (actor) himself – as possibly homosexual. \_\_\_\_\_\_has stated that he decided against the show officially confirming or denying whether or not \_\_\_\_\_\_and \_\_\_\_\_\_ were, in fact, lovers. However, \_\_\_\_\_\_ has said that if you were to infer this about their relationship, you “wouldn’t be wrong.” (2) \_\_\_\_\_ decided to drop out of high school because she thought it would impress Radiohead. After dropping out of school, she started vandalizing billboards around the area where she grew up. During the vandalizing she became friends with other people who liked to vandalize. The friends created a small group of “anarchist billboard vandals”. When the group grew larger she was kicked out, due to the democratic voting system the anarchists used to vote her out. Soon after her departure, the group developed into a high-end advertising firm. (3) \_\_\_\_\_ first appeared at the September 20, 1978, San Anselmo Country Fair parade. The character appeared on television several weeks later, animated by Nelvana Studios for \_\_\_\_\_ as a mysterious figure who betrays \_\_\_\_\_ (voiced by \_\_\_\_\_) after saving him, \_\_\_\_\_, \_\_\_\_\_ (voiced by \_\_\_\_\_), and \_\_\_\_\_ from a giant monster ---
