Arrested Development — Michael Bluth
Physical characteristics
Michael Bluth is your typical "normal man" surrounded by complete lunatics KAJDJ 😭
Jason Bateman portrays him with a super neat and serious demeanor:
Short, well-groomed brown hair.
He always dresses "properly": shirts, formal trousers, simple jackets.
She has a constant expression of tiredness/confusion, like: "Why are these people my family?"
His appeal lies more in his maturity and stability than in being extravagant. He has that vibe of an intelligent and resigned man, LOL.
Restrained body language; he tends to sigh, look indirectly at the camera, or remain still while chaos unfolds around him.
Psychological characteristics
Michael IS the "functional adult" of the show... although he has his flaws too 😭
Responsible and controller.
Sarcastic, with a dry sense of humor.
Very patient (too patient, honestly).

Socially more normal than the rest, but emotionally somewhat awkward.
When he falls in love, he gets awkward and nervous KAJDJS. He also has something very important:
