Line 238:
* [[The Jeeves|Jeeves]] from ''[[Jeeves and Wooster (novel)|Jeeves and Wooster]]'' has complete and utter imperturbability as his chief character trait, probably because [[The Chessmaster|he's usually fully in control]] of whatever [[Zany Scheme]] is going on at the moment. His rather excitable master constantly wonders how he does it. Notably, he doesn't smile—he "muscle spasms".
* Asher in ''[[Someone Else's War|Someone Elses War]]''. Matteo himself initially seems like one; it turns out to be a facade hiding his [[Hot-Blooded|reckless nature]].
* Temperance Brennen in [[Bones]]. In fact her social awkwardness makes one suspect her of Aspergers. But aside from that she has an ethic of brutal honesty and self-control that would please any Roman. So she would be a Stoic in both senses of the word.▼

* Jack Bristow of ''[[Alias (TV series)|Alias]]''. Though you should never confuse stoicism with a lack of emotion, especially if [[Papa Wolf|you go anywhere]] [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge|near his daughter]].
* Oz, from ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]''. Whether it's a nude Buffy who can read his thoughts or the idea of his girlfriend being turned into a vampire, he keeps his head. It takes Willow being held hostage by an [[Ax Crazy]] Faith and everyone arguing about it for him to smash something in frustration. Even then it was to force [[Nakama|the Scoobies]] to trade the [[MacGuffin]] for Willow.
