The 10 Best Minor Characters in Arrested Development

With the entire world applauding the news of the official return of Arrested Development (except this guy), we celebrate some of our favorite minor characters from everyone’s favorite canceled show. In a sitcom that had such a ridiculously memorable main cast, it’s mind-blowing to note that its minor characters were often just as unforgettable (unfortunately so, when it comes to Uncle Jack). Although we’re sure we left off your favorite, here are the 10 best minors characters in Arrested Development.
10. Maggie Lizer
In terms of unforgettable sitcoms, the only show that really comes close to touching Arrested Development might be the undeniably influential Seinfeld. So when we got to see Julia Louis-Dreyfus play Michael’s fake-blind lover, it was more than we could have asked for in a minor character on the show.
“Well, it’s like the Ten Commandments say, you know? Be true to thine own self, and to thine own self…”
9. Annyong
Okay, so having the little Korean kid only say his name (which actually means “hello”) as if he were a Pokemon was a little racist. But honestly, if Lucille Bluth was going to have an adopted son, it was kind of necessary. And besides, who else could have pushed the jealous relationship between Buster and Lucille one step further?
“Annyong.”
8. Rita Leeds
From her colorful British euphemisms to her innocent naivety, Rita is our favorite of Michael’s small list of strange girlfriends. She’s also at the top of our very small list of actually sincere characters who weren’t constantly trying to stab people behind their backs.
“Prize. Lovely, lovely, prize.”
