8 TV Supporting Characters Who Became Everybody’s Favorite

We love the main heroes of our favorite shows, but weirdly enough, most of the time they’re overrated. We know the show is about them, but sometimes it’s the characters in the background that catch our attention more. A funny phrase here, a silly expression there, and we’re sold, demanding spin-off series for them!

Let’s take a look at the 8 TV supporting characters who became everybody’s favorite.

1. Ron Swanson – Parks and Recreation

Ron is a government worker who hates the government and will do everything in his power to sabotage all possible city projects. His deadpan line delivery, machismo, and incredible acting by Nick Offerman make Ron Swanson stand out in Parks and Rec without overshadowing other supporting characters.

2. Lyanna Mormont – Game of Thrones

The first time we saw Lyanna Mormont, the leader of the Bear Island, we knew she’d become one of the coolest characters on Game of Thrones. That lordly sass, combined with the serious face of a young teen, made her one of the most memorable GoT characters at that time.

3. Daryl – The Walking Dead

You know the viewers love your character when the writers are afraid to kill him off. BTW, did you know that Daryl is not from the comics? He was supposed to die very early on, but the Internet would never forgive the showrunners. So the only logical way out was to make Daryl an unkillable murder machine.
