10 Best Recurring Parks And Recreation Characters

10. Orin

April Ludgate was the edgiest member of the Parks Department. Her brooding nature combined with her wit and sarcasm made her the perfect watchdog for the gate to Ron Swanson. But as frightening as many people, especially Jerry, found her, more were scared of her friend, Orin.

Stoic and silent, Orin lurked in the back of scenes, casting his gaze over the rest of the cast. Viewers never witnessed him speaking but the interactions between him and other Parks and Rec characters left marks all over the show. It was an understanding between Parks team that you only spoke to him in pairs, just to be on the safe side.
