There are dozens of TV show characters that become immensely popular either due to their great looks, witty remarks or downright awful attitude. But we often forget that no matter how ‘good’ or ‘bad’ these characters are, people that portray them are actually quite different in real life.

A lot of great, weird and even crazy things came out of the 90s. Most of them, like the funny phrases that never made much sense, are long gone now. Along with all the cool gadgets and nerdy toys. Do you remember beepers and the cool-looking boomboxes? And what about Treasure Trolls and Tamagotchi?
