Characters

"Angus Partridge "

(Dallas Roberts)


 

In the third season, Angus takes up the role of the token male, though he steers away from masculine gender norms. He is a sensitive "manny" (man nanny) and takes care of Angelica, Tina and Bette’s daughter. Angus pursues Kit, who calls him Mangus, and eventually gets her to go out with him. He then proposes to her, but Kit declines on the premise of inequality. In the fourth season, Angus cheats. It will be interesting to see if the relationship sticks or if Angus disappears like the other men of the show.


Screenshot of Angus (with Angelica and Kit) from episode 303, "Lobsters," aired on 22 January 2006.

Though Angus is listed as a main cast member in the third and fourth seasons, there is no media photo for him, unlike the men before him. He is, however, the only male character to make it more than one season.
