Line 315:
* Introverts, especially [[Myers-Briggs|IxxPs]], tend to act like this.
* John Deacon of [[Queen]]. When the band was together, he never sang on the albums and only answered questions in interviews if they were specifically directed to him. After Freddie Mercury died, he dropped out of the band and, aside from one single released in 1997, retired from the music business entirely.
* US Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas acquired this reputation, with one analysis noting he spoke just 96 words in the first eight arguments he heard (most justices used ~2500-~4500 in their first eight). When Thomas ''did'' speak, [[Armor-Piercing Question|his questions were extremely direct and pointed ones that had major impacts on the case]]. Observers long speculated Justice Thomas's silence was because Justice Antonin Scalia, whom Thomas's ideology frequently overlapped with, was ''already'' asking most of the more basic questions Thomas would ask, but while Thomas ''did'' start asking ''more'' questions after Scalia's death, he still remained solemn. Whatever the reason, this trope only applies to Justice Thomas during his official duties, as he has proven far more talkative in interviews.
