List of King of The Hill Characters - Tom Landry Middle School

Tom Landry Middle School

• Carl Moss (voiced by Dennis Burkley) — Carl is the principal of Tom Landry Middle School and one of Hank's high school classmates. Like most school administrators, his twin concerns are tight budgets and maintaining discipline, and he tends to follow procedure to avoid trouble, even when it conflicts with his friendship with Hank. Hank will often remind Carl of how he used to be and insinuate that Carl sold out for a position of power. He suspends Hank from temporarily teaching shop class while on vacation after Hank gives the students tools, due to a school policy to prevent students from carrying "weapons" around campus. He also once fired Peggy after she spanked Dooley in class when he pulled her pants down, despite Dooley's parents forgiving and even thanking her. He sometimes goes to extremes in order to stay out of conflict of any kind, even going as far as faking a heart attack to get out of being the tie-breaking vote in a PTA meeting, as in the episode "No Bobby Left Behind." Unsurprisingly, the antics of his students (and their meddling parents) often frustrate him. Carl attended Heimlich Community College as well as Brown University and displays the diplomas on the wall behind his desk in the principal's office. Burkley used the Carl Moss voice for 2 almost-identical food server characters at the Arlen Mall, one of whom worked in a "Showbiz Deli" and one of whom worked in a sushi place - and one of these characters was even called "Carl."

• Coach Kleehammer (voiced by Toby Huss) — Coach Kleehammer is the football coach at Tom Landry Middle School. He has a difficult time relating to things outside of football and often uses football-related expressions in everyday speech. Kleehammer is portrayed as something of a sexist, having displayed a very negative attitude towards women's sports. He is also fairly dim-witted - during one of his arguments with Peggy in the episode "Bobby Slam", he tells her "Roe v. Wade doesn't apply in my gym," the aforementioned law having absolutely nothing to do with women's sports in public schools. He was briefly appointed acting principal of Tom Landry Middle School.

• Stuart Dooley (voiced by Mike Judge) — Stuart is Bobby's deep-voiced, laconic classmate. He has shaggy red hair. He always sardonically intones something obvious after witnessing an event (for example, to Bobby after witnessing Mega Lo Mart exploding, "Your Dad got blown up.") He seems to be something of a sadist and a putdown artist, taking quiet pleasure in saying things to people to sadden or anger them (e.g., when Bill is having fun at Bobby's birthday party, Dooley mentions that Bill's wife divorced him). He also is somewhat of a rebel, and was seen pulling Peggy's pants down, and even smoking at one point. His character also seems to be loosely based on the character Butt-head of Beavis and Butt-head.

• Clark Peters (voiced by Pamela Adlon) — Bobby's overweight bully at Tom Landry Middle School. He has a blond ponytail and speaks as though he has a perpetual head cold (Minh once referred to him as "that creepy booger-nosed kid"). He sometimes forces Bobby to do homework for him, except when Bobby writes down that his favorite hobby is to knit. (As his teacher remarked, "The Clark Peters I know likes to burn things.")

• Randy Miller (voiced by Cheryl Holliday in 1997–1999, David Herman in 2000–2009) — Randy is the quintessential "nerd" who loves to tattle on people and then see them being punished. Bobby, Connie, and Joseph don't like him very much. He is very proud of his father being a successful patent lawyer. Although once a rather prominent character, he largely vanished after the fifth season. He later returned in "Talking Shop" being bullied by Dooley, but Bobby persuades him to leave him alone because he wants attention. In this appearance Randy is noticeably taller and has a deeper, scratchy voice, having seemingly entered the early stages of puberty.

• Chane Wassonasong (voiced by Pamela Adlon) — Chane is a smart but obnoxious and rude classmate of Bobby and Connie. Connie's parents are constantly trying to fix her up with Chane, also Laotian-American, as they see him as a very preferable alternative to Bobby (and because Chane is the son of prominent Laotian-American Ted Wassonasong, with whom they are constantly trying to curry favour) despite the fact that she finds Chane to be annoying, even calling him a "shank". He is a member of his school's track and field team, and used to bully Bobby, but after a fight between the two—which resulted in Chane receiving a rather painful groin injury—he settled for verbally abusing Bobby rather than physically.

• Emily (voiced by Ashley Johnson) — She is a sixth grade blonde pony-tailed hall monitor who takes her position quite seriously. She often serves as the gatekeeper of Principal Moss' office.

• Ramon Alejandro (voiced by Pamela Adlon) — A classmate of Bobby's of Hispanic descent he is among the more popular students and is very popular with the girls.

• Lori (voiced by Jillian Bowen) - A classmate of Bobby and Joseph. Joseph once dated her, having made out in closets throughout the school on several occasions. Very late into the series, Lori insisted that she and Joseph go "all the way" in their relationship, but Joseph broke up with her before it could happen.
