George Oscar "G.O.B." Bluth II

Will Arnett as George Oscar "G.O.B." Bluth
Will Arnett as George Oscar "G.O.B." Bluth

G.O.B. (usually written as "Gob") is the eldest Bluth son. He is portrayed by Will Arnett. Used with kind permission from the Balboa Observer -Picayune website This work is copyrighted. ... Used with kind permission from the Balboa Observer -Picayune website This work is copyrighted. ... William Will Emerson Arnett (born May 5, 1970) (pronounced ) is an Emmy Award-nominated Canadian-American actor known for his role as George Oscar G.O.B Bluth II (pronounced Job, like the biblical figure[1]) on the now-cancelled FOX comedy Arrested Development. ...


His name — derived from his initials, much like John Ellis "Jeb" Bush's — is pronounced like the biblical figure, Job (pronounced "johb"). By trade he is a part-time magician, and was formerly a stripper, working as one of the "Hot Cops". G.O.B. is arrogant and self-centered, but much of the time this appears to hide his own insecurities which include how unintelligent he really is. G.O.B. is perhaps the funniest of the family, and his magic "tricks" or "illusions" always turn out a laugh. Not without a sense of theatrics, he speaks in an intense, melodramatic tone, even in ordinary conversation. A womanizer, he is often involved in multiple relationships at a time. Despite being extremely self-assured, he often makes the realization too late that he has "made a huge mistake". He is also known for his loud and sarcastic exclamation of his catch phrase, "Come on!" He also has a tendency to carelessly blurt out information that he was supposed to have kept secret. Whenever he does this and the person he's speaking to repeats the statement as a question, he replies quickly and quietly with "I don't think so." George Sr. paid little attention to G.O.B. as a child and has no respect for him as an adult, leaving G.O.B. starved for affection (a fact George Sr. exploits to get G.O.B. to do what he wants). His mother openly hates him. He cares deeply for Michael, craving his younger brother's respect almost as much as his father's, but has an adversarial relationship with him because Michael gets all the attention and responsibility, especially in business. On several occasions, G.O.B. and Michael have realized that their rivalry has been nurtured by their father's, and sometimes mother's, manipulations (leading to one conversation: G.O.B: "You don't hate me, mom hates me. We're brothers, you kinda like me." Michael: "Yeah I do kinda like you.") and vow to be better brothers to one another, but G.O.B.'s own self-centeredness often undermines his good intentions in this area (and most others). Overall G.O.B. is comical in his ways and Michael accepts his brother's crazy antics.

He is a founding member of the "Magicians' Alliance", a group that was formed to preserve magicians' secrets, but he was later blackballed by them for revealing how one of his tricks was performed (on a local news broadcast). He once made the family's $700,000 yacht disappear (by sinking it) as part of a magic act during a spring break show. He is also the original creator and inspiration for the Mr. Bananagrabber character (G.O.B. has a running gag involving him getting his tooth chipped, causing him to speak with a whistle—a characteristic of the character). Although he retains most of the rights to the character, he gave away the animated rights to Michael. It was later made into an animated TV series. He also briefly had a ventriloquist act with an African-American doll named Franklin; they recorded a CD called Franklin Comes Alive (with racist undertones which G.O.B. was completely unaware of).

He is known for incorporating over-the-top theatrics into his magic shows, including pyrotechnics, dance routines, and wind machines. He plays Europe's "The Final Countdown" before almost all of his major illusions (such as making the family yacht disappear or escaping from a coffin). It is also his ring tone. He is frequently seen throughout the series getting around on a Segway which has a pouch that says "G.O.B." on it. Pyrotechnics is a field of study often thought synonymous with the manufacture of fireworks, but more accurately it has a wider scope that includes items for military and industrial uses. ...

In the second season he became president of the Bluth Company; however, it has been suggested that he wields no real power and that his brother Michael is still in charge. G.O.B. is known to be the womanizer of the Bluth family and is frequently sought by George Michael when he needs something his father will not give him, such as marijuana for Lucille Austero. He also enjoys making love to women while having music sung by himself in the background. A Cannabis sativa plant The drug cannabis, also called marijuana, is produced from parts of the cannabis plant, primarily the cured flowers and gathered trichomes of the female plant. ...


Eventually, G.O.B. discovers that he is the father of the teenage jock Steve Holt. Though at first he was afraid of this discovery and not willing to confront his son, G.O.B. soon comes to terms with his son and becomes prepared to take on the role of a father.

He is manager of the Bluth Family's Original Frozen Banana Stand [1] and has answered phones at company headquarters.

Young George Michael watching Oz, thinking it was The Wizard of Oz

When he was reunited with his cousin Maeby, he instantly developed a crush on her, and his resulting emotional conflicts featured heavily into their subplot. George Michael was deeply traumatized when, as a child, he began to watch what he assumed was the popular family musical, The Wizard of Oz. Instead, it was the HBO violent prison drama, Oz. Consequently, George Michael is terrified of prisons. George Michael is continually exposed to awkward social situations throughout the show's run and seems to take each incident in stride. He witnessed a live birth close up, acted as a woman for G.O.B.'s magic act, was in the center of a hospital morgue, and had an inmate use the Bluth company stair car as an escape out of prison while he sat waiting for his father.

In the second season, George Michael started dating a girl named Ann whom his father barely knows and doesn't like. His father continues to call Ann "Egg" by mistake as she was introduced to him while she was eating an egg. George Michael eventually breaks up with Ann after rediscovering his long-held crush for his cousin, Maeby. Season two ends with George Michael kissing Maeby much to his delight. After the incident, the two try to avoid each other for most of the third season. When they decide to put on fake weddings for Alzheimer's patients, they are mistakenly legally wed by a priest who was not aware that the weddings were fake. Drunk on fake wine one night, George Michael tells her (correctly, despite later "proof" to the contrary) that he thinks they might not actually be related. He reaches second base with her as a result. Although he rarely stands up for himself throughout the seasons, either as a result of Maeby's incapacity to see his affection for her, or his search for his fathers constant approval, he finally 'becomes a man' in the final episode, after discovering his Uncle G.O.B. and ex-girlfriend Ann are together (but have done 'Practically nothing'), punches G.O.B. out. During the series finale, George Michael finally manages to tell his father about their relationship. Michael advises him to end it, as despite the fact that they are not blood relatives, they are still family.

Byron "Buster" Bluth is the youngest of the biological Bluth children, and he is usually referred to as Buster. It was hinted at from the beginning of Season 2 and then confirmed in episode Out on a Limb that Buster's father is Oscar, George Bluth Sr.'s twin brother. He is portrayed by Tony Hale.

Buster is a career student but cannot return to school because the money is no longer available to him. Thus far, he has taken $80,000 worth of lessons from the Stanford Institute of Cartography, but in the pilot episode he mistakes the blue part of the map for land. He has studied Native American Tribal ceremonies, participated in multiple sleep deprivation studies (at the University of Chicago and in France), worked on an archaeological dig as part of a Smithsonian fellowship, and endured a study that investigated the relationship between medical marijuana and nausea because it took place at a carnival. He is a graduate of Milford Academy, which he attended for two semesters beyond his graduation date due to his excelling in being neither seen nor heard. The Leland Stanford Junior University, commonly known as Stanford University (or simply Stanford), is a private university located approximately 37 miles (60 kilometers) southeast of San Francisco and approximately 20 miles northwest of San José in an unincorporated area of Santa Clara County. ...

Buster is very much a man-boy. He has an unhealthy attachment to his mother Lucille, which she encourages, making him feel guilty whenever he puts anyone else before her. He has frequent panic attacks, hates both closed and open spaces, is terrified of sheep and seals, and is very wrathful towards his Korean-born adopted brother, Annyong. For a short period of time, he was appointed by his mother to run the company, until it was revealed he has panic attacks in board room meetings. He has an uncharacteristic habit of greeting people with back rubs, (a trait which he seems to have in common with Oscar), and commonly addresses both Michael and G.O.B. as "brother" (and likewise, Tobias as "brother-in-law"). His mother doesn't let him drink juice, and even a small amount of sugar causes him to become overactive. He has an unusually-shaped penis (once described to a US Army doctor as a "lobster tail but without its shell"). He has been romantically linked on-and-off to his mother's best friend, also named Lucille (played by Liza Minnelli). She changed his diapers when Buster was an infant and therefore is familiar with his odd-looking genitals. Buster has also been romantically linked to Lucille's former housekeeper Lupe, as well as the robotic vacuum cleaner that replaced Lupe, and Michael's former secretary Starla.

In the second season premiere, Lucille signs Buster up for the Army (which he refers to simply as "Army"), although his training is less than successful. In the episode "Out on a Limb," Buster's left hand was bitten off by a loose seal (a play on "Lucille"). In the same episode, it was revealed that his real father is George Sr.'s brother, Oscar, but a blow to the head meant that he forgot about this until the season 2 finale "Righteous Brothers", when the secret is revealed from a rather irrelevant comment about popcorn (Oscar wanted to share his "Pop Secret"), which is ironic considering the number of deliberate hints Oscar had given many times previously. The United States Army is one of the armed forces of the United States and has primary responsibility for land-based military operations. ...

Tobias, after completing his fellowship in psycholinguistics at MIT, became Chief of Psychiatry in Boston at Massachusetts General Hospital. Shortly thereafter he lost his license for giving CPR to a Rhode Island man who wasn't actually having a heart attack. At the beginning of the series, Tobias decides that his destiny is to become an actor, a career which he pursues throughout the series with a notable lack of success. He initially came to the decision after boarding a boat which he believed to be a pirate-themed cruise, but which actually turned out to be populated by gay protesters, most of whom were actors.

Tobias has a cheerful and unmindful disposition. He often greets his family with hugs and regularly speaks in florid prose, accentuating the most mundane comments with a heightened sense of false grandiosity. He is unaware of his family's feelings and problems (especially Lindsay's), and seems to be gleefully oblivious to the blatantly obvious. He believes himself to have "cat-like agility", though in actuality he is klutzy and accident prone. Tobias has a rare condition called "never-nude" syndrome (which, as the narrator states, is "exactly what it sounds like") and wears denim cut-off shorts at all times, even in the shower (based on the real condition of severe gymnophobia, although the portrayal is largely fake). This condition threatens his acceptance of a coveted role as "Frightened Inmate #2" in a prison drama that called for a nude shower scene. He had studied for the role by staying in the Orange County prison to research the "nature of fear". Lindsay helps him deal with his condition and with the help of his acting coach, Carl Weathers, he got the part. Carl would eventually help Tobias land a part on the TV series Scandalmakers, where Weathers plays Ice The Bounty Hunter, Tobias plays George Sr., and Dave Attell plays Tobias. A klutz is person who is clumsy, foolish, inept, or accident-prone. ...

Tobias is in heavy denial about his sexual orientation. Much of the humor that is based around Tobias' exploits this fact. His true nature however, often comes out various ways such as making sexual double-entendres; examples include him (pretending to be a British nanny, à la Mrs. Doubtfire) offering Michael a "banger in the mouth" while holding out a plate of sausage or screaming "I just blue myself!" after donning the trademark blue paint of the Blue Man Group. These are just a few of several instances of Tobias's trademark oblivious nature, a personality trait that is frequently exploited in plotlines regarding his relationship with his wife and daughter. Michael finally tells him to record what he is saying on tape and play it back to see what it sounds like, but when Tobias mistakes his innuendo for arrogance, he remarks to himself "Tobias...you blowhard!"

A book he wrote while still a therapist (a self-styled analyst-therapist, or, as he calls it, "analrapist"), The Man Inside Me belatedly has become a runaway bestseller, but only in the gay community. At a reading, attended exclusively by gay men, it is revealed that he changed all the pronouns in the book to "he" for the ease of reading, though his audience assumed it was for different reasons. He also achieved accidental success for a brief time with his self-help video titled Families with Low Self-Esteem, only due to its title being mistaken for Girls with Low Self-Esteem (a video series similar to Girls Gone Wild). In linguistics and grammar, a pronoun is a pro-form that substitutes for a noun phrase. ...

Lindsay, who married Tobias to spite her mother, is convinced that her husband is gay. He has experienced sexual difficulties with his wife. This led to their joint decision to attempt an "open" marriage. This article or section does not cite its references or sources. ...


In season 2, Tobias is desperate to be an understudy for the silent entertainers Blue Man Group, and would paint himself completely blue for hours, thus getting blue body paint on things in the Bluth model home (blue handprints can be seen in the background in many season 2 episodes). Also in season 2, Lindsay kicks Tobias out of the house for the lack of attention that he pays towards her. Tobias misses seeing his family so much that he begins disguising himself as "Mrs. Featherbottom", an English housekeeper for the Bluth family. This plotline is admittedly quite similar to the plotline of the film Mrs. Doubtfire, with more of a Tootsie reasoning behind it (he wants to prove he was a good actor). Despite Tobias's disguise, everyone realizes that he is Mrs. Featherbottom but says nothing because the house would not get cleaned otherwise.

In the mid 1990s, Tobias and his family performed as the folk group, Dr. Fünke’s 100% Natural Good-Time Family-Band Solution. Every song was about new medicines and their potential harmful effects on consumers. Each performance was underwritten by the Natural Life Food Company, a division of Chem-Grow, an Allen Crayne acquisition, which was part of the Squimm Group. Their motto was simple: "We keep you alive". The 1990s decade refers to the years from the start of 1990 to the end of 1999. ...


In season 3, Tobias gets hair plug implants. A side effect of getting the hairplants are a loss of feeling and mobility, relegating him to a wheelchair (which he calls a "dolly"), skin and tissue damage, as well as other symptoms. These symptoms are caused by a chronic form of graft-versus-host disease (a disease that usually affects bone marrow transplant patients) which can be cured simply by removing the plugs. Instead of simply removing the plugs, Lindsay chooses to exploit the disease for a Bluth family fund raiser. This had put Tobias' health at great risk. Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is a common complication of allogeneic bone marrow transplantation in which functional immune cells in the transplanted marrow recognize the recipient as foreign and mount an immunologic attack. ...

George Sr. was the Chief Executive of the Bluth company, which he founded. However, after years of "creative accounting" practices, he became the subject of an investigation by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). He was eventually arrested and charged with defrauding his investors, petty theft, grand theft, etc. He was represented by the Bluth family attorney, Barry Zuckerkorn, who was fired by Michael Bluth for assisting in George Sr.'s escape from prison. Currently, Bob Loblaw serves as Bluth family counsel. George Sr. continues to try to exert control over the company, often using G.O.B. to undermine Michael's authority.

The charges against George Sr. are quite serious (including light treason) and he has decided his only recourse is to flee them. He managed to escape to Mexico with a briefcase filled with hard evidence of his dealings with Saddam Hussein; signatures and receipts that offered clear, unmistakable proof that he willingly built model homes for the dictator. In season two, George Sr. fakes his death in Mexico and returns to America to hide in the attic of the Bluth model home. By the end of the second season, he secretly joined the Blue Man Group so his identity can remain hidden. Saddam Hussein Abd al-Majid al-Tikriti (Arabic: [1]; April 28, 1937[2] – December 30, 2006[3]), was the President of Iraq from July 16, 1979, until April 9, 2003. ...

George Bluth Sr. wearing a turban

Early in the third season, after being discovered among the Blue Man Group in Reno, Nevada, he was placed under house arrest due to a plea bargain made by Michael, effectively making his wife Lucille Bluth his warden. He told Michael that he had been set up to build homes in Iraq by a group of British contractors operating out of "Wee Britain," claiming he thought Saddam Hussein was the guy who played the Soup Nazi. While under house arrest he used a "surrogate", Larry Mittleman (portrayed by Bob "Super Dave Osborne" Einstein), equipped with a camera in his hat to spend time with his family outside of the house.

George Sr. is also the inventor of The Cornballer, a faulty product which has been banned in numerous countries, although it is sold illegally in Mexico, where it is quite popular. As shown in the infomercial promoting the product, with guest Richard Simmons, the Cornballer can cause severe burns which have the potential to burn away fingerprints. The Cornballer is a fictitious device that appears in the critically acclaimed television comedy Arrested Development. ...


George Sr. has also had a religious awakening twice on the show, once becoming Jewish after a period of isolation and selling a video series "Caged Wisdom," and once becoming devoutly Christian after reading a pamphlet in a garbage bag while hiding in the attic.


George Sr. is a serial poisoner, dubbed by the media as "The Muffin Man". He used poisoned muffins to intimidate the teachers of his children in the 1970s, and later his grandchildren in the 2000s. While police credit "The Muffin Man" with over twenty-five incidents of poisoning, George Sr. only admits to two of these, and insists the rest are "copycats." The term copycat (also written as copy-cat or copy cat) refers to the tendency of humans to duplicate the behavior of others, as expressed in the saying, monkey see, monkey do. ...


Lucille Bluth

Jessica Walter as Lucille Bluth

Lucille Bluth is the mother of G.O.B., "twins" Michael and Lindsay, Buster, and the adopted Annyong, as well as wife to George Sr. Her grandchildren George Micheal Bluth and Maeby call her "Gangee". She is portrayed by Jessica Walter. Used with permission from Balboa Observer-Picayune website This work is copyrighted. ...

This is a list of the main and recurring fictional characters from the Fox television comedy series, Arrested Development. ... This is a list of the main and recurring fictional characters from the Fox television comedy series, Arrested Development. ... Jessica Walter as Lucille Bluth on Arrested Development. ...


Lucille is not a highly sympathetic mother, and few of her children claim to love her. She repeatedly belittles Lindsay about her weight and her unsuccessful marriage to Tobias, treats G.O.B. like nothing (she admitted to Buster she "doesn't care much" for him and laughed at the thought of his legs being broken) and intentionally coddles Buster to the point of emotionally crippling him. Her relationship with Michael is adversarial, as the two regularly exchange insults and Lucille demands money from him while withholding company information.


As the family matriarch, Lucille is highly protective of her position, often using subtle manipulation to achieve a high degree of control. She lied to both Michael and Lindsay when the two started getting along so they would fight and keeps Buster on a tight leash so she can feel like a caregiver. She is also selfishly concerned with her public image, spending thousands of dollars in company money on furs and jewelry and country club memberships.


Despite this attitude she is highly protective of her family, lashing out angrily at anyone who gets in the way. She tried to keep George Sr. in prison when she thought he was having an affair, attacked the publicist Jessie for an unflattering article and forced Oscar to return money he had swindled from Michael. When Michael was in high school, she made his teacher "dissapear" after giving a failing grade to her son.


Due to her life of luxury, Lucille is highly arrogant and acts superior to everyone working for her. She repeatedly belittles her housekeeper Lupe and searches her belongings every day, yells at waiters at the golf club and wants to buy restaurants to burn them down. She is bigoted, claiming of her Mexican-American housekeeper "they didn't sneak into this country to be our friends." She also had to completely strip Annyong to find out what sex he is. She is, as Lindsay describes her, the "world's worst driver"-literally, as she was featured on the fictional FOX hidden camera show, World's Worst Driver. She is also an alcoholic and abuses prescription drugs. For the animal, see Fox. ... A hidden camera is a still or video camera used to film people without their knowledge. ... Alcoholism is the consumption of, or preoccupation with, alcoholic beverages to the extent that this behavior interferes with the drinkers normal personal, family, social, or work life, and may lead to physical or mental harm. ...


Although largely faithful to her husband George Sr., Lucille has her share of infidelities. In the first season she dated the attorney Wayne Jarvis while George Sr. was in jail and slept with George Sr.'s twin brother Oscar in the second season (Buster was later revealed to be Oscar's child from an earlier affair of Lucille's).


Recurring Characters

This is a list of the show's recurring characters (characters that have appeared in multiple episodes, but are not part of the central cast). At the end of each character's description is listed the episodes on the show in which they appeared, in descending order of episode count.

Oscar can be distinguished from George by his flowing hair, due to lack of stress in his life. He is a frequent user of marijuana. He served as a "croc spotter" on a swift boat in the Vietnam War (yelling out "Croc!" whenever he saw a crocodile), and once wrote a song for David Cassidy, "All You Need Are Smiles", that made Joan Baez call him "the shallowest man in the world." It was often hinted that he is probably the biological father of Buster in season 2. Eventually, it is revealed that he is Buster's father.

Joan Chandos Baez (born January 9, 1941) is an American folk singer and songwriter known for her highly individual vocal style. ...


Oscar resides most often in a trailer outside Camp Pendleton. He owns a couple hundred acres of lemon groves and sells lemonade to the troops when their maneuvers pass by. He sold the land to Michael, who was unaware that the government had an easement on it so they could drive their tanks through it. Lucille took advantage of Oscar's feelings for her and convinced him to buy the land back. An easement is the right to do something or the right to prevent something over the real property of another. ...


According to Michael, Oscar has lived on handouts all his life. According to his brother, he has never had to work for a living, leading to his full head of shoulder-length hair that Lucille finds irresistible. Oscar's persistence with Lucille - whom he met when she was working a USO tour - led to a rekindling of their once torrid romance. This has disturbed Lucille's youngest biological son, Buster, who discovered the adulterous pair in flagrante delicto multiple times.

After George Sr. escaped confinement, Oscar was arrested because police assumed he was George. The police also impounded Oscar's trailer and left him even more indigent than usual. Lucille, who at the point was resisting the fire Oscar possessed for her, allowed him to come and live with her and Buster. Buster had decided that his mother was right. He did need a male role model. Oscar's presence allowed Buster to develop the many talents he'd discovered with Lucille. He lovingly brushed Oscar's hair, a ritual once preserved for Lucille alone. In return, Buster was treated to several uncomfortable silences upon witnessing Oscar's penchant for living loose and literally, "letting it all hang out."


Oscar's shameless exhibitionism was a product of the proximity he shared with his dream woman. Once confined to a single residence, the illicit pair revived the past, leaving Buster with no role model and no safety net. An exhibitionist exposing himself at a soccer game. ...


In the second season finale, to clear up his legal difficulties and punish his brother for cuckolding him, George Sr. shaves Oscar's head and turns him in. The stress of being imprisoned and mistaken for George Sr. has caused Oscar's hair to not grow back. This, paired with the fact that his fingerprints were burned off (by the family Cornballer), prevents him from establishing his true identity.


To try to convince the world of his true identity, Oscar set up www.imoscar.com, a blog of sorts that details his life in prison while continually asserting that he is, in fact, Oscar. A real-life version of the site was maintained by Fox Broadcasting. To meet Wikipedias quality standards, this article or section may require cleanup. ...


In the third season, Oscar manages to get out of prison when George Sr. is placed under house arrest and leaves town. He returns occasionally, but these visits are usually ended when George Sr. knocks him out and switches places so he can escape again.

Barry Zuckerkorn

Barry Zuckerkorn is the phlegmatic attorney for the Bluth family. He is played by Henry Winkler.

Zuckerkorn represents George Sr., the family patriarch, who has been arrested and charged with defrauding investors. Zuckerkorn often appears languid and distracted in his handling of the case. He does not seem particularly apt in the courtroom and multiple references have been made to him being a bad lawyer. For other senses, see Patriarch (disambiguation). ...


He is inevitably ill-prepared, which he usually blames on long meetings the night before. In fact, most of his nights are spent hanging out at rest stops, a behavior that is frequently mentioned and accompanied by a fast cut to an establishing shot of a dark, shady rest-stop facility.


His sexual leanings are ambiguous although it appears that he may prefer the company of male transvestite hookers and may be homosexual or a tranny chaser. Like Tobias Fünke, Barry makes many colorful references that seem to allude to his exclusive attraction to men. They aren't explicit enough, however, to be conclusive. He however often makes mildly negative references and comments about "the homosexuals" even though he admits them to be wrong. He has been with the Bluths for a long time and was kept only because Lucille considers him to be "part of the family." He is also, according to many, supposed to be "very good" (a descriptor he uses himself). His reputation is stronger with the elder Bluths than with the children. Since its coinage, the word homosexuality has acquired multiple meanings. ... A Tranny chaser is an individual who is sexually attracted to transgendered people. ...


Despite his parents' dependence on Barry, Michael Bluth fired him on the first episode of the 2005-6 season, which ended his law career, as the Bluths were his only clients. Since then, he has been acting as a transvestite prostitute, and Lindsay seeing her husband Tobias retaining Barry's "services" has prompted her to seek a divorce. Zuckerkorn was replaced as the Bluth's attorney by Bob Loblaw.

Ann Veal

Mae Whitman as Ann Veal

Ann Veal (full name Ann Paul Veal, as shown on her yearbook page in the episode "Sad Sack") is the on-again, off-again girlfriend of George Michael Bluth. Her first appearance was in the episode "Let 'Em Eat Cake," where she was played by Alessandra Toreson. In every subsequent appearance, she has been portrayed by Mae Whitman. Image File history File links Ann_Veal_-_AD.jpg Licensing File history Legend: (cur) = this is the current file, (del) = delete this old version, (rev) = revert to this old version. ...

She comes from an extremely religious family, and her father is a pastor. Ann's mother is often confused as being her sister. In "Meet The Veals", Ann's mother kisses Michael Bluth, which she believes to be making love to him. The kiss leads to a brawl between Michael and her husband at the end of the episode.


None of the Bluths besides George Michael can remember Ann’s name. Michael refers to her variously (and always accidentally) as “Bland," “Egg,” "Annabel," "Yam," "Plant," "Plain," "Ann Hog," and "Her?", and strands her in Mexico accidentally. Maeby Fünke takes pleasure out of referring to Ann as “Bland” when talking to George Michael. George Michael tells his family that Ann is really funny when he is forced to defend his love interest.


Ann is attracted to George Michael’s Star Wars kid-like lightsaber demonstration, which led to reconciliation after a breakup midway through the second season. George Michael wanted to get pre-engaged to Ann at the end of the second season, lost his resolve at the last moment, and was then asked by Ann to teach her his secular ways. Ghyslain Raza (born 1988) became widely known on the Internet in May 2003 as the Star Wars kid when a video clip he recorded of himself was leaked online. ...

Ann's strict conservatism is a foil for Maeby's commitment to rebellion. Ann leads the protest at Maeby's premiere of the English remake of "Dangerous Cousins," originally a French movie about a sexual relationship between two cousins.

Hel-loh "Annyong" Bluth

Image:Annyong-want-you.JPG
Justin Lee as Annyong Bluth, dressed like Uncle Sam

Hel-loh Bluth is the accidentally adopted Korean son of Lucille and George Sr. He is portrayed by Justin Lee.


Hel-loh is, according to himself, the Korean word for "One day," a name given to him by his grandfather, whose frozen banana cart was stolen by George Sr. and used as inspiration for the banana stand that launched the Bluth empire; his grandfather vowed to one day get even for his stolen banana stand and ensuing deportation. Lucille adopted him midway through the first season. Apparently knowing no English, the youth always greeted his adoptive family by saying "annyong," the Korean word for "hello." When they repeated the word, so did he. This caused Lucille to assume that her new son's name was "Annyong." As the show progressed, Annyong became an articulate member of the household who often found himself in disagreement with his new brother, Buster. He also developed a crush on Maeby in the Season One finale after she kissed him to make George Michael jealous. He was apparently sent to the Milford Academy by Lucille, who was attempting to teach him a lesson (but later forgot what about). Annyong later was found out to be hiding in the walls of Lucille's penthouse apartment. In the third season finale it was revealed that Hel-loh (who finally reveals his name after his usual greeting of "Annyong", prompting ironic confusion among the Bluths) orchestrated the second SEC raid on the family as revenge for him and his grandfather.

Steve Holt

Steve Holt is a senior and football star at the high school George Michael and Maeby attend, who often shouts his name, "STEVE HOLT!", while pumping his fists in the air. He is portrayed by Justin Grant Wade. Justin Grant Wade played Steve Holt in Arrested Development. ...


Described as a "moron jock" by George Michael and "basically a young G.O.B." by Michael, Steve Holt has portrayed Beatrice in the school's play production of Much Ado About Nothing, gone on dates with Lindsay (because he believed she was a transsexual), and was student body president for four years (he declined a fifth term in order to concentrate on finding his real father). His campaign posters often read "Volt for Steve Holt". He has also repeated the twelfth grade at least three times.

In the Season 2 episode "The Immaculate Election," it was revealed that Steve Holt is the illegitimate son of G.O.B. and Eve Holt, the product of one of G.O.B.'s many one-night stands in high school. Before realizing that she was supposedly a blood-relation, Steve had a brief relationship with his cousin, Maeby, which resulted in his being given a roofie to avoid any kind of intimacy. Since learning of his parentage, he has bonded with both his father, and "Uncle Mike". He has worked as a gift-basket delivery-boy, a Bluth Banana Stand employee, and cameraman for his father's magic act.

Kitty Sanchez

Used with kind permission from the Balboa Observer -Picayune website This work is copyrighted. ... Used with kind permission from the Balboa Observer -Picayune website This work is copyrighted. ... Image:Judy Greer. ...


Kitty maintained a long term affair with George Sr. and a fevered yet brief liaison with G.O.B., despite the fact he is disgusted by her. After George Sr. was imprisoned, Kitty stayed on to work for Michael.


Despite her intense loyalty to George Sr., she did not demonstrate the same toward Michael. He tried to fire her, but Kitty and Michael's father both insisted he didn't have that power. Michael attempted to rehire Kitty, but her obstinacy forced him to immediately fire her again. Kitty subsequently vanished with potentially damaging information, considering her sexual history with her boss. In actuality, she did not disappear, but was working with the police in an effort to gain control of the Bluth company. After arranging a meeting with Michael, she inadvertently admitted that she had proof that George Sr. had built homes overseas without paying taxes. Michael downplayed the importance of the revelation and Kitty dropped out of sight. This article or section does not cite its references or sources. ... -1...


Kitty re-emerged in Let 'Em Eat Cake to rescue George Sr. from the hospital. They escaped to Mexico together but were separated again when he was pronounced dead. Kitty caught up with him in Spring Breakout and blackmailed him into staying with her. Michael and G.O.B. managed to rescue their father while Lucille had a showdown with her rival. The Bluth matriarch put her years of alcohol abuse to good use by besting Kitty in a drinking contest. Seemingly defeated, the hung over mistress returned to her hotel room to discover the Bluth's had inadvertently left behind the ransom she'd been asking for: 250cc’s of "George Sr." in a cooler. “Let ‘Em Eat Cake” was the twenty-second episode of the TV comedy series Arrested Development. ...

Kitty returned later, claiming she had reformed, gotten into AA, and even has a famous sponsor. She won't say who it is, but she drops some pretty obvious hints of it being an ex-Night Court star; ("It's not Bull. It's not Harry Anderson. And he's white."), a reference to actor John Larroquette for whose show creator Mitchell Hurwitz was once a writer. At the end of Season 2 she and Tobias, the state of his marriage still up in the air, had jetted off to Reno, Nevada so he could pursue a plum spot in the Blue Man Group.

Marta Estrella

Marta Estrella is the Colombian soap opera star that G.O.B. dates in season one.

Wife of G.O.B.

G.O.B. and Wife of G.O.B. on a dare

The Wife of G.O.B. is a certified seal salesperson who married G.O.B. as part of an evening of escalating dares (meant to be a one night stand). She is portrayed by Amy Poehler, who in real life is married to Will Arnett, who plays G.O.B. She traffics in trained seals (selling sick ones to Third World countries) and convinces G.O.B. to wear bright, colorful sweaters. Possibly the only fan of Dr. Funke's 100% Natural Good-Time Family Band Solution, she saw their show in the late '90s and was comforted by the fact that they sang about every side effect she was going through. When she realizes she is in love with Tobias, she ends her marriage to G.O.B. and leaves to join the United States Army. She frequently takes photos while smoking and pointing at crotches, a clear parody of Lynndie England, a central figure in the Abu Ghraib prison scandal. She is last seen in season one in the third last episode and isn't seen again until the 13th episode of season two in her last appearance. She comes back to break up with G.O.B. and to reclaim the seals that she 'gave' to G.O.B. but is told that he doesn't have them because he set them free.

Rita Leeds

Rita Leeds is a British woman to whom Michael Bluth is attracted. She is played by Charlize Theron. This is a list of the main and recurring fictional characters from the Fox television comedy series, Arrested Development. ... Charlize Theron (born August 7, 1975) is an Academy Award winning South African actress and former fashion model. ...


Rita first appeared in the second episode of Season 3, "For British Eyes Only."


There are a number of somewhat subtle indications that she may be a "stupid person" throughout episodes 2 and 3 of season 3; however, Michael does not seem to have noticed. Some of these indications might be the fact she goes to pre-school and also carries around a duck backpack.


Rita wears a bracelet that says "MR F", and unintentionally implies to Michael that Mr. F is her uncle Trevor (played by Dave Thomas), whom Michael believes is stalking him. Meanwhile, the Bluth Company also notifies him of a suspected mole, apparently going by the name of "Mr. F." After some confusion, Michael eventually accuses Tobias Fünke of being Mr. F. Later on, it is revealed that MR F is an abbreviation for "mentally retarded female," and that Tobias actually was a mole — though he himself thought it was an audition. See the David Thomas disambiguation page for other people with this name. ...


In Episode 5 of season 3, Rita was confirmed to be mentally retarded. She also was given a proposal of marriage by Michael Bluth.


In Episode 6, Michael, upon discovering Leeds' mental retardation, ends his relationship with her. In the same episode, it is also revealed Rita's parents were cousins.


It is later revealed that Rita finds a job at a competing movie-studio from Maeby's, producing a project called "The Ocean Walker" (she thinks that people can walk to England, and walked across a pool not knowing that Gob had rigged the pool with clear platforms for one of his illusions), although the film's development status is arrested.

Larry Mittleman

Larry Mittleman, played by Bob Einstein (Super Dave Osborne), is a professional surrogate, hired by George Sr. to act as his eyes and ears so that he can continue influencing the family's dealings while under house arrest. "The Surrogate", as Larry is called, is always on the job, wearing a suit and tie at all times, with a baseball cap displaying the word "Surrogate". The cap carries a small camera and microphone, which transmit audio and video feeds in real-time to George Sr's computer and/or television. George Sr. has a voice feed back to the surrogate, so that he can tell Larry what to do, what to say on his behalf, where to go, etc. Super Dave Osborne (born November 20, 1940, in Los Angeles, California) is the stage name of Bob Einstein (brother of actor Albert Brooks), a comedic stuntman whose persona is modeled after Evel Knievel. ... Super Dave Osborne in front of his trademark bulb wall Super Dave Osborne is a fictional character played by Bob Einstein. ...


Larry is a consummate professional, never allowing his own persona to come through except on rare occasion, such as when he sometimes inserts comments to the effect of 'This surrogate is great!' amidst George Sr.'s actual words. Larry does occasionally misinterpret George Sr.'s instructions, usually with amusing consequences.


Larry appeared at the beginning of season three, and stayed on for several episodes before being fired remotely in front of a mirror by George Sr. after a very poor judgement call regarding what was meant to have been a sotto voce comment, or perhaps unspoken altogether. He reappeared in "SOB's" as a surrogate for a business associate of George Sr.

Michael Bluth first meets Maggie in a bar where most of the lawyers hang out after work. After she mistakes him for an attorney, he says his name is Chareth Cutestory and that he practices maritime law, a reference to a role Michael held in a school musical. Maggie and Michael end back at her place after drinking at the bar. He spends the night and wakes up rather perplexed as how to proceed. Once he realizes she is blind, he guiltily decides to continue seeing her. Admiralty law (usually referred to as simply admiralty and also referred to as maritime law) is a distinct body of law which governs maritime questions and offenses. ...


Maggie turns out to be prosecuting the government's case against the Bluth family. She was feared for her ability to win sympathy from everyone in the courtroom. It is later revealed that she is not in fact blind, and that she knew who Michael was but could not reveal this to him. So, she gave him what she described as "a summary of everything the government has against the Bluths so far." In actuality, it was a mere wish list, and she was, in her own words, "manipulating [him]."


As it turned out, Maggie was taken off the case. Her role over two episodes was mainly to provide a love interest for Michael, who had never had a one night-stand and had been off the shelf ever since his wife's passing.


Maggie returned for two episodes in season 2, eight months pregnant--eight months after her relationship with Michael. As it later turned out, she was faking the pregnancy. Ironically she actually became pregnant by Michael after one last "never again" fling before they parted for good. However, during the "On the next Arrested Development..." segment of the episode where Maggie last appears ("Hand To God"), she takes a pregnancy test and indicates that Michael actually had impregnated her. It is unknown what happens to what we can assume is Michael's child.

The character is first introduced in the season 2 episode Meat the Veals, in a flashback to a Bluth family gathering years before. In an effort to hip-up his act, G.O.B. briefly introduced the puppet in a poorly executed ventriloquist act (G.O.B.'s mouth moves every time Franklin speaks). Franklin is a fiery-tempered, adulterous, obscenity laden, street-wise puppet. Meat the Veals was the thirty-eighth episode aired of the TV comedy series Arrested Development. ... Wayang shadow-puppet created in Bali, in the early 20th century. ... Ventriloquism is an act of deception in which a person (ventriloquist) manipulates his or her voice so that it appears that the voice is coming from elsewhere. ...


G.O.B. discarded Franklin up in the attic, most likely due to the severe beating G.O.B. received in a night club in Torrance after performing a show with Franklin. During Meat the Veals, G.O.B. digs up his old friend and uses Franklin in a kidnapping plot with George Sr. G.O.B. soaks Franklin's lips with ether, so that a kiss will incapacitate his mother, and any witnesses. Franklin is again soaked in ether two episodes later in Righteous Brothers in order to incapacitate George Sr. Meat the Veals was the thirty-eighth episode aired of the TV comedy series Arrested Development. ... Righteous Brothers was the fortieth episode aired of the TV comedy series Arrested Development. ...


Then G.O.B. records a music CD with Franklin called "Franklin Comes Alive," a spoof of Frampton Comes Alive by Peter Frampton. G.O.B. hoped that the CD would "break down racial barriers and maybe be a crossover hit." The song tracks include "It Ain't Easy Bein' White, It Ain't Easy Bein' Brown," and G.O.B.'s cover of Bryan Adams' song "(Everything I Do) I Do It For You" which G.O.B. performed especially for Michael. Unfortunately Franklin's musical career is cut short during Righteous Brothers when a laundry accident results in Franklin getting bleached. Franklin says, in what is now a stiff, slightly British accent, "You've ruined the act, G.O.B.," and as G.O.B. later tells Michael, Franklin has become "all puckered and white."

Franklin returns in some season 3 episodes, most prominently in Fakin' It, after he is re-dyed and rested; as a publicity stunt, G.O.B. manages to get Franklin on the witness list for George Sr.'s trial. (A deleted scene reveals that G.O.B. legally adopted Franklin as his son to achieve this.) G.O.B. also finds a way to give Franklin a voice without moving his lips by using voice promos from a magazine advertising for "Mock Trial with J. Reinhold". At the end of the episode, Franklin's dramatic testimonial on the witness stand effectively ends the prosecution's case against the Bluths.

Franklin looks very much like a Muppet Jim Henson might have created. Obviously the name Franklin Delano Bluth comes from the 32nd President of the United States Franklin Delano Roosevelt, but the reason for this is because in the 1970s Sesame Street introduced what some claimed to be an "insultingly stereotypical African-American" puppet named Roosevelt Franklin (though the puppet's actual intended ethnicity was ambiguous and its 'skin' was purple); the character was eventually dropped from the show's line-up. Franklin could also be another tribute to the Peanuts cartoons, as this show also featured an African American character named Franklin. It is also possible Franklin is inspired at least in some way by Chuck's dummy Bob on the television show Soap shown on ABC from 1977 to 1981.

It is unclear whether Franklin has his own persona or if his puppet handler (whether G.O.B., Buster, or George Sr.) simply provide Franklin with his foul-mouth personality. No matter who is controlling him, Franklin often curses and uses racial slurs to describe others in the Bluth Family.

Carl Weathers does not enjoy paying very much for anything. He is obsessed with thrift and "getting a stew going" out of leftover pieces of food.

Lucille Bluth uses Carl Weathers to get back at her youngest son, Buster, who has become involved romantically with her chief rival, Lucille Austero. She simply introduces Carl Weathers to Lucille A. and suggests that they should have dinner together with Buster. Buster, however, reminds his mother that he has class that day. Lucille suggests that Carl Weathers and Lucille II would just have to dine alone, in that case. When Buster finally decides to move in with Lucille II, he discovers her and Carl Weathers "getting a stew on" and is greatly disturbed.
