Gary Burghoff(Walter "Radar" O'Reilly - M*A*S*H)--- On Mash, he was the naive, gentle, uncomfortable, soft-spoken Radar. But when he would do Match Game, he was a pretty cocky little snot, full of piss and vinegar.

Bob Saget is the polar opposite of Danny Tanner from Full House in real life, it's part of his standup shtick to bash the image that show and AFV has given him since he's totally different when he's not sanitized for family programming

Jason Alexander has a reputation of being a really nice guy in the industry, yet if we were supposed to think he was like George Costanza, he would be a conniving, scheming little worm

kurtwood smith red forman of that 70s show has a rep of being a very quiet soft spoken nice guy in real life where red forman is very loud and grouchy

Lisa Kudrow of "FRIENDS" isn't dumb like Phoebe.
Raymond Bailey from "THE BEVERLY HILLBILLIES" wasn't at all like Mr. Drysdale. He was actually quiet, kept to himself, didn't have many friends and could be tempermental about some things.

malcolm gets (caroline in the city)- as richard he was often sarchastic, miserable and depressed and would dress in black, but in real life he is actually quite nice and good natured

becki newton (ugly betty)- she was and is mean, bitchy and would turn any guy's head as amanda; in real life becki is married, as well as being sweet, intelligent and so nice

gary coleman (diff'rent strokes)- cute, lovable and funny as arnold jackson when he was just a kid, as an adult he became a washed up, angry person who hated being known as arnold by many of us, although he only got married earlier this year

I would think Belita Moreno is a lot nicer than her character Benny on George Lopez.

Big C · 04-09-2008, 10:55 AM

littlebelle told me that Angela Watson was different from the character she played on Step By Step. (not a vain person in real life)

tv star collector · 04-09-2008, 12:19 PM

Dan Blocker, unlike Hoss Cartwright, was a very learned man. In fact, prior to acting he was a school teacher!

Henry Winkler, "the Fonz," was actually terrified of motorcycles!

Jack Benny, whose screen persona was a terrible violinist and a tightwad, was
an accomplished violinist and a very generous man.

Archie Bunker. Altho Carroll O'Conner was a liberal, but the character he played (Archie Bunker) on 'All in the Family' was a conservative. And he did it oh so well.

Heather987 · 04-10-2008, 12:59 AM

Heather Locklear - Is supposed to be sweet in real life unlike her counterpart Amanda (Melrose)

Matt Leblanc - Is supposed to be as nice as Joey his Friends character but with more intelligence

Sara Gilbert - Unlike her character Darlene on Roseanne she is a lesbian

Sara Jessica Parker - As Carrie she loved being single, scared off of marriage, and did not have a high interest in having children unlike her real life

Kristen · 04-10-2008, 02:36 AM

Dixie Carter is a Republican in real life, but on Designing Women, she played a diehard, very outspoken liberal. Also, I would hope that Betty White is at least a little nicer than Sue Ann Nivens, hehe.

megamanj2004 · 04-11-2008, 04:16 AM

Wilmer Valderamma - On That '70s Show, he uses the thick accent w/ his Fez, but in real-life the accent is much less thicker.

Andy Kaufman - Latka was naive & innocent, while in real life Andy acts a lot like Latka's alter-ego Vick, who was brash and lod-mouthed

Alan Alda - Hawkeye Pierce was a womanizer, in real-life Alan Alda is more of the family man

Carrie · 04-14-2008, 02:13 PM

Ken Jenkins (a.k.a. Dr. Kelso on Scrubs) - On Scrubs, he's loud and mean to put it nicely, lol. According to the interviews on the dvds, he's a really nice, lovable guy.

Megan Mullally (a.k.a. Karen Walker on Will & Grace) - She was a drunken loud mouth on Will & Grace, but in real life she talks very quietly and seems a bit shy.
