10 Best Non Bluth Family Members In Arrested Development

5. Larry Middleman

rsz_middleman Larry Middleman is actually not really a separate character at all. He€™s George Sr€™s surrogate for staying in charge of family matters while under house arrest. It€™s just Larry is so damn good at his job it makes it hard not to have him qualify. He manages to take whatever George Sr. tells the family and turn it into the most monotone, matter of fact piece of dialogue uttered on television. The comedy pours out of Middleman, as despite George telling him to stop talking, he continues to speak the words €œstop talking, why are you saying that?€ to the family. Larry takes bundles of abuse from not only George Sr, but the rest of the family for his occupation. His professionalism gets him through these tough times, till eventually GOB pushes him too far, and we see what a proud person the surrogate is when he punches the eldest Bluth in the face.

As a pretty nerdy guy, I've loved film and television since I was a wee lad. Growing up in Ireland, The Den was the show to watch with it playing Batman The Animated Series, Star Trek: The Next Generation and everything in between. I have an MA in Radio and Television Production and have written for various sites, hope you enjoy my articles/lists for What Culture!
