The Minor Accomplishments of Jackie Woodman - Recurring Characters

Recurring Characters

  • Skyler (Azura Skye), Jackie's editor and a trendy, superficial bitch.
  • Mitchell (Patrick Bristow), Skyler's sycophantic assistant, who is openly rude to Jackie.
  • Jeanette Woodman (Mary Kay Place), Jackie's passive-agressive mother. She is first heard in season one over the phone and embodied by a turtle in a peyote hallucination. In season two, she visits Jackie twice, annoying Jackie incessantly in the process.
  • Angela Birnbaum (Colleen Camp), Jackie's occasional agent. She is quick to trust, love, and overestimate anyone she comes into contact with.
  • Cheryl (Octavia Spencer), a wisecracking security guard at Tara's production company.
  • Darryl (Rashaan Nall), Jackie's apartment building handyman in season one.
  • Lars Ahlstrom (Hugh Davidson), Tara's misogynistic boss in season two.
  • Jim Fig (Jon Kinnally), Jackie's hunky downstairs neighbor who moonlights as a serial killer. He randomly appears throughout season two, usually in passing as Jackie sees him outside. His appearances are followed with non sequitur glimpses of him torturing abductees or disposing of bodies. His motives are never explained or brought to the attention of Jackie or any other character.

Famous quotes containing the words recurring and/or characters:

    Let us think this thought in its most terrible form: existence as it is, without meaning or aim, and yet recurring inevitably, without a finale in nothingness—”eternal recurrence.”
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    No one of the characters in my novels has originated, so far as I know, in real life. If anything, the contrary was the case: persons playing a part in my life—the first twenty years of it—had about them something semi-fictitious.
    Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)
