Stutters and Stammers

What would the day be if I didn't have a slightly strange question to ask?


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.)

Right, here we go-- all quotes are from 'Brideshead Revisited' by Evelyn Waugh, Penguin Twentieth Century Classics (UK Edition, can't find the blasted date though)

'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
