TV Character Profile: Tom Anderson

Name: Tom Anderson
Show: 'Beavis and Butthead'


The nearsighted, elderly neighbor of Beavis and Butt-head. He often hires them to do chores which results in their destroying his yard, home, or personal belongings. Due to his poor eyesight and mild senility, he never seems to recognize the two and he never remembers their names (in one episode the two wore horn rimmed glasses in an absurd disguise which Anderson did not notice). He served in the Navy during World War II and the Korean War. His character is a big influence on the look and voice of the character Hank Hill from Judge's subsequent series, King of the Hill as both were based on the same collection of elderly men from Judge's youth.
