Line 43:
==== [[Live Action TV]] ====
* Another professor, Maximilian Arturo in ''[[Sliders]]''.
* A famous example in Commander William Riker's beard in ''[[Star Trek: The Next Generation|Star Trek the Next Generation]]'' which not only signaled the moment when he was a Kirk clone no more but also created the trope [[Growing the Beard]] marking when the series started improving to become the television classic it would be.
* [[Invisibility|Claude]]'s beard on ''[[Heroes (TV series)|Heroes]]'', though this may have something to with being a [[Homeless Hero]] and a [[Homeless Pigeon Person]]. It was also to make him less obviously The Doctor.
* [[Cool Old Guy|Bobby]] [[Only Sane Man|Singer]] on ''[[Supernatural]]''.
Line 130:
 
==== [[Video Games]] ====
* In [[Role -Playing Game|RPGs]], it's usually the [[White Magician Girl]] who has the longest tresses.
* Midna from ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess]]'' wears her hair in a very long ponytail (so that it can [[Prehensile Hair|act as a hand]]); she is, however, a [[Tsundere]] instead. {{spoiler|In her true form, she has an odd form of [[Princess Curls]], which are joined at her neck like bonnet strings.}}
 
Line 189:
 
==== [[Live Action TV]] ====
* Worf of ''[[Star Trek: The Next Generation|Star Trek the Next Generation]]'' brought honor to the goatee and little else.
** Likewise, Captain Sisko looked pretty [[Badass]] with his facial hair in ''[[Star Trek: Deep Space Nine|Star Trek Deep Space Nine]]''.
* Telemachus Rhade from ''[[Andromeda]]'' is another [[Warrior Poet]] who carried a goatee.
* Ronon Dex of ''[[Stargate Atlantis]]'' is another goateed [[Proud Warrior Race Guy]].
Line 246:
 
==== [[Live Action TV]] ====
* Many Klingons sported one, especially in ''[[Star Trek: The Original Series|Star Trek the Original Series]]''.
 
 
Line 284:
 
==== [[Live Action TV]] ====
* The evil goatee originated with one of the most memorable episodes from ''[[Star Trek: The Original Series|Star Trek the Original Series]]'', ''Mirror Mirror'', with a trip to a [[Mirror Universe]] of evil duplicates. Spock's duplicate had the goatee; ironically, he was the only one who wasn't really evil.
** About 13 minutes into ''[[Star Trek: Deep Space Nine|DS9]]'' episode "Defiant", we see William Riker (a good guy; see way, way, above) {{spoiler|pull off the sides to reveal himself to actually be... William "Tom" Riker, his transporter-produced twin, who now wears an ("evil") goatee instead of a ("good") full beard! Oh no!}}
* Another "Mirror, Mirror" homage comes from ''[[Mystery Science Theater 3000]]'', in which Crow gets transported into an alternate dimension version of Deep 13 run by an Evil Mike. Evil Mike has a goatee.
Line 328:
==== [[Film]] ====
* Many [[James Bond]] supporting characters fall into this, although no [[Big Bad]] in any Bond film was bearded until Hugo Drax in ''[[Moonraker]]''.
* In Hitchcock's ''Topaz'', most Cubans had Fidel Castro's beard, and even uniform, maybe suggesting a personality cult or anything. They were sometimes hard to differentiate: the main villain, fortunately [[ColourColor-Coded for Your Convenience|was red-bearded]]. Fortunately, female Cubans did not sport beards.
 
 
Line 555:
* Future Hiro from ''[[Heroes (TV series)|Heroes]]'' has one of these. Unlike the energetic past Hiro, though, he fights in a dystopian future, and has stained his hands with enough blood to count as an [[Anti-Hero]].
* Tommy Oliver, the most renowned [[Sixth Ranger]] from ''[[Power Rangers]]'' history, who through the early seasons went back and forth between good and evil, also sports an anti-heroic soul patch.
* [[24|Tony Almeida of CTU]] had one during his entire run on the show, from good guy to antihero to {{spoiler|[[Almost-Dead Guy]] to [[Back Fromfrom the Dead]] Guy}}. In fact, "Soul Patch" was his nickname in all the [[Television Without Pity]] recaps.
 
 
Line 598:
* Gregory House of ''[[House (TV series)|House]]'' usually has this. In fact, being shaved in a 5th season episode was an indication that he is a bit [[Out of Character]].
* Dr. Cox of ''[[Scrubs]]'' sometimes falls into this one. Usually head first.
* Wesley Wyndham-Pryce of ''[[Angel]]'' gained a permanent stubble when he [[Took a Level Inin Badass]] and started [[Dating Catwoman]]. Lampshaded in that he had a reason to suddenly stop shaving: his throat had been cut, and the wound rather got in the way.
* Jack Shepherd, from ''[[Lost]]'', not only has five o'clock shadow, it DOESN'T GROW FOR [[108|108 DAYS]]. After he leaves the island, though, he is shown with a [[Beard of Sorrow]] after three years. Think of all the money he saves on razors.
** They did actually show him shaving with scavenged razors at least once while on the Island. Most of the men of the show had surprisingly permanent shadows for a long time, although some did advance into full on beards.
