American Dad! Characters - Around The Neighborhood

Around The Neighborhood

• Linda Memari (voiced by Megyn Price) - A woman of Iranian descent, the wife of Bob Memari and best friend to Francine. Linda saves Francine from the Lady Bugs, a social group for women who cheat on their husbands, by kissing her. It has been suggested that Linda may not be attracted to her husband and is in reality a closeted lesbian. In an attempt to hit on Francine, she rearranged her clothes to make her bust more prominent and knocked on the Smith Family door (prompting a drunk Stan to comment "When did you get those?"). After thinking that Stan was beating Francine, she makes an awkward excuse to leave. Francine then says, "She's a weird chick." Linda's husband is apparently resigned to her preferences, and asks, in a defeated tone, if he can "at least watch this time", when he sees Linda eying Francine.

• Robert "Bob" Memari (voiced by Ron Livingston) - Born in Cleveland, Ohio, Bob is the Iranian husband to Linda Memari and neighbor of Stan. Stan initially discriminates against Bob and suspects he and his wife are terrorists because of their ethnic background, as seen in the episode "Homeland Insecurity". Ironically, Bob is not upset at Stan's accusations, because he himself says his previous neighbors were far worse; "They were black." implying he himself is racist.

• Chuck White (voiced by Mike Barker) - Stan's gloating arch-enemy who often outdoes Stan. Chuck is over-protective of his daughter, Betsy, forcing her to do gymnastics and keeping her away from boys because he believes they will get her pregnant. He ends each sentence with a mocking laugh, e.g. "Looks like you're parking in the sun again, ha-ha!"; however, he does not seem to have any control over it, and always seems to laugh even when angry or depressed.

• Buckle (voiced by Matt McKenna) - A mountain man that the Smiths meet at the time when Stan thought that there was a nuclear war happening when it was actually a drill. Buckle secretly follows them home in an effort to stalk Hayley and abduct her to marry him. The Smiths come up with a plan to distract him from Hayley and bail Roger out of a jam when he tries to fake a wedding to get a new blender by setting Buckle up with Roger's intended bride, Sharri Rothberg who proceeds to make his life miserable. In "An Incident at Owl Creek", he and Sharri move into the neighborhood. In "Best Little Horror House in Langley Falls," it was revealed that Buckle used to work as a Walt Disney Imagineer until his designs were deemed too scary. He is based on James "Grizzly" Adams.

• Sharri Rothberg (voiced by Lisa Edelstein) - Sharri Rothberg is a girl that Roger dupes into marrying him. After Roger's blender was accidentally destroyed by Stan during his nuclear war panic (when he mistook the drill for that for the real thing), he meets her on J-Date after being told of it by Klaus. Sharri's "Jewish-American princess" side comes out while registering for their gifts at Crate and Roundish Cylinder, becoming pushy and demanding. On their wedding day, Roger dumps Sharri after he receives the blender he wanted. She gets to marry Buckle (the mountain man that followed the Smiths home from the woods intent on marrying Haley) and proceeds to make his life miserable. In "An Incident at Owl Creek", she and Buckle move into the neighborhood.

• Sergei Kruglov (Russian: Сергей Круглов) (voiced by Steve Hely) - A former KGB agent known as the "Wolf of Leningrad". In 1988, Stan and Sergei were captured by their respective opponent sides, but during the prisoner exchange Stan was recaptured by the Soviets. After the Berlin Wall falls and the Soviet Union collapses, Sergei's wife leaves him for a West German tennis equipment salesman and his son becomes an entrepreneur who sells Halloween costumes for dogs. Vowing to steal Stan's son for communism, he eventually moves to Langley Falls and into the home formerly owned by Mr. Hallworthy after it is discovered that Mr. Hallworthy has died. Sergei then helps Steve construct a model rocket while teaching him the ways of communism. Stan then wins Steve back, and Sergei helps Barry construct a rocket which wins the school's contest. Toward the end of the episode he acts like a normal neighbor to Stan coming over both to threaten him and then give Stan mail belonging to him that was in his mailbox. Sergei is on the Homeowners' Association Board.

• Father Donovan (voiced by Martin Mull) - The pastor of the Episcopalian Church that the Smiths attend. He is extremely bored with and resentful of his job and faith, preferring to go fishing on Sunday. Donovan gets all information for eulogies from driver's licenses and is not above having sex with married women of his congregation (though he is especially attracted to Francine). Donovan implies that he is an atheist - when Stan asks him what to do about his best friend who does not believe in God, Donovan replies, "Well Stan, we're hardly best friends." In "Rapture's Delight," when everyone is ascending into Heaven, Father Donovan is left behind with Roger, Stan, and Francine, at which point he remarks, "Turns out there is a God". He has a heart surgery scar on his chest. In "Season's Beatings," Father Donovan casts Stan and Roger in a televised Christmas play at the mall. An incident involving Stan and Roger fighting causes Father Donovan to ban Stan from the church on his superiors' behalf with the only way of re-admittance being either donating a lot of money to the church, finding the holy grail, or killing the Anti-Christ. When Stan found out that the baby Haley took in called Nemo is the Anti-Christ, Stan was able to present evidence of this to Father Donovan causing them alongside Roger and Jeff to pursue and kill Nemo. Father Donovan is badly injured after discover Nemo is the Anti-Christ while the baby use his powers causing the burned orphanage to collapse, severing the priest's legs. It hasn't been confirmed if Father Donovan is dead or not.

• Al Tuttle (voiced by Richard Kind) - Tuttle is a chatty fellow and one of the Smiths' neighbors, Stan originally circled the block six or seven times to avoid talking to him in "Homeland Insecurity." Stan was forced to stop and talk to him when he ran out of gas, this is when he (and Francine) find out that his wife Betty had died. Much later in "Don't Look a Smith Horse in the Mouth," it is revealed that Tuttle has become severely obese due to loneliness after losing his wife but when Steve and his friends help him out of his house for the first time since the first season. He returns to his friendly and optimistic self, but remains obese.
