Can anyone think of any characters that canonically stutter or stammer? I would prefer characters who are fandomy, but as long as I'm familiar with the character, that should be awesome.
Thanks!
ETA Great suggestions from everyone! Thank you! If you want to add more to the discussion, I'm always happy to have more, but I do have what I need.
Also, um, I'm a huge retard and think I need for someone to hang on to my Whedon Card for a while. I forgot TARA *headdesk* I'm a loser. In penance I'm going to watch "Hush" and "Family" tomorrow. (And then insist that someone give me a Buffy quiz so I can retake my Whedon Card. OY.)

Thanks!
Good ol' Barclay from TNG might be more what you're thinking about. He was *such* a great character. ;-)
The hardest part about finding such characters is that they tend to not fit the usual formula for 'heros' on tv. Though, it's probably why characters like Barclay stand out so much, not to mention how we fic writers/online folks identify so strongly with him. :-)
Not that I've even *heard* of Wonderfalls. ;-)
Look it up.

It seems to me that Amanda Plummer's character in "The Fisher King" had stammering problems, but it's been forever since I saw the DVD.
Yes, I do have the book, it's one of my favourites! I actually looked for on-line quotes to link to in my first comment, but couldn't find any.
Anthony Blanche is incredibly gay. Haha! Hold on, I'll find you a paragraph or two...
'My dear,' he said, 'I couldn't get away before. I was lunching with my p-p-preposterous tutor. He thought it very odd my leaving when I did. I told him I had to change for F-f-footer.' - p34
To Sebastian he said: 'My dear, I should like to stick you full of barbed arrows like a p-p-pin-cushion,' and to me: 'I think it's perfectly brilliant of Sebastian to have discovered you. Where do you lurk? I shall come down your burrow and ch-chivvy you out like an old st-t-toat.' - p35
'And I said, "S-s-sebastian, do you realize that those s-sycophantic s-slugs insulted me last night, and but for the warmth of the weather might have given me a s-s-severe cold," and he said, "Poor things. I expect they were drunk." He has a kind word for everyone, you see; he has such charm.' - p52
And a quote that references his stutter:
Anthony had lost his stammer in the deep waters of his old romance. It came floating back to him, momentarily, with the coffee and liqueurs. 'Real G-g-green Chartreuse, made before the expulsion of the monks. There are five distinct tastes as it trickles over the tongue. It is like swallowing a sp-spectrum.' - p53
