Schizoid TV/Movie Characters?

Is Lillith Crane -- Frasier's ex-wife from Cheers -- considered schizoid? Are there any other TV or movie characters that you can point to as exhibiting schizoid characteristics so I can perhaps get a better idea of what watching one looks like, thanks.

All the slightly schizoid characters in T.V are always "helped" at some point during the show and ruined... i've yet to see one that is plain as day schizoid.. they always have some yearning for human interaction hiding or somthing.. i guess T.V just prefers avoidants.. cause a schzoid T.V character would be very boring to watch.... Watching schizoids is boring.

Dr. Manhattan (Jon) in Watchmen http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0409459/ http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_3G5ZujzOlN0/SbAAAp0YlVI/AAAAAAAAAzQ/UR-7D-6mxy4/s400/DrManhattan


Why must I save the world I no longer have any stake in?

A live body and a dead body contain the same number of particles. Structurally, there's no discernible difference. Life and death are unquantifiable abstracts. Why should I be concerned?

We're all puppets, Laurie. I'm just a puppet who can see the strings.

the kid from the big lebowski who was blamed in stealing the dude's car could have been schizoid. he looked indifferent to walter's violent outburst and to the accusations.

Cloud from Final Fantasy's 'Advent Children'... He's not schizoid, but he does "exhibit schizoid characteristics".

Hes madly in love with Tifa, and always worries about everything... If anything i'd say Vincent valentine is the most schizy like character in FF. Despite clouds kick ass-ness, hes not very schizy at all

I don't know... maybe that's some back story that I missed. I didn't think he was madly in love with anyone, except that dead chick (forget her name), and that could conceivably be regarded as a "fantasy"... It seemed that he ended up with Tifa in the end, only because it was the only way for him to relieve his guilt, what with the orphaned kids and all. I get the impression he would jump ship if not for that.

I don't know, maybe I'm so delusional that I completely rewrite story lines, overlay them with whatever is going on my my internal world. It's not impossible.

Although you're right. Vincent Valentine would be closer actually. Problem is, his character isn't developed enough to really know...

I think Niko Bellic from GTA 4 might qualify, vaguely. Violent revenge fantasies, keeps to himself as much as he's able, tends toward introspection, mostly interacts with people based on necessity rather than anything like friendship, and (at least as I play him) flatly ignores people that would be his friends unless they serve some useful purpose, in which case only puts the bare minimum maintenance effort into the relationship.

Also tends to shoot people in the face for daring to speak to him uninvited, but that may just be me being a dick.

I've been thinking hard to come up with a schizoid character... can't think of one yet. But I did come up with Willy Wonka (w/Johnny Depp) as schizotypal...

I'm still wondering about Lillith Crane, Frazier's ex-wife, what was her problem supposed to be :
