None of these Dads expected fatherhood to turn out like it did. James Avery became a surrogate dad for Will Smith in Fresh Prince of Bel Air, Bob Saget's Full House fatherhood took a strange twist after his wife was killed in a car accident, and Steve Guttenberg was left to look after a baby when his roommate left the country on a film shoot. These guys are dads by - accident.

They are the comedy deputies who live to set up the punch lines for the stars of the shows they appear in. Where would Jack Tripper be without Larry? Could Laverne and Shirley have felt superior to anyone without Lenny and Squiggy? And would Wayne's World ever have been complete without Garth? Heck no.

These men have portrayed fantasy creations first penned in the pages of comic books. Lou Ferrigno was the original green man - the Incredible Hulk in the hit TV series. Dolph Lundgren played Marvel Comics' The Punisher, and the cartoon-inspired He-Man in Masters of the Universe. And Michael Keaton was Batman in the two Tim Burton classics.

Country Girls are cute, down home characters who exude the wholesome nature we expect to find in - well, nature. Dawn Wells was Mary Ann, the sweet counterpoint to glamorous Ginger. Charlene Tilton played JR Ewing's daughter on the sprawling prime time soap Dallas, and Debra Winger was the country girl in a city story - Urban Cowboy, the movie that made two-stepping popular.

These gentlemen were the classic school principals in all the ways we remember them. Dennis Haskins was the den dad of Saved by the Bell, Anthony Head was the surrogate father who tried to rein in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and Jeffrey Jones was personification of authority on the seminal Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

These women can stop traffic. Adrienne Barbeau was the knockout feminist daughter to Bea Arthur's Maude. Daryl Hannah made waves in Splash, and later as the sad but sexy android on Blade Runner. Loni Anderson played against type as the smart and organized blonde bombshell Jennifer on WKRP.

It takes more than just a voice to capture the audience like these guys did. These radio DJ's really spiced up the airwaves. Tim Reid was DJ Venus Fly Trap on WKRP, John Corbett exposed his voice across Alaska in Northern Exposure and Christian Slater pioneered rebel radio in Pump up the Volume.

Quick thinking and excellent comedic timing took these performers to the top of their game. Joe Flaherty proved he could impersonate almost anybody on SCTV, Andrea Martin ad-libbed her way into the SCTV scene and Dan Aykroyd worked his comedic magic on SNL, Blues Brothers and According to Jim.

The only thing these girls enjoyed more than a steaming hot latte was staring at their own reflection in a mirror. Mila Kunis wooed the boys when she played Jackie on That '70s Show, Karyn Parsons shopped until she dropped on Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, and Lacey Chabert was 'fetch' in Mean Girls.
