Timothy O'Neill is a fictional animated character who appeared regularly on MTV's animated series "Daria". He was voiced by actor Marc Thompson, who also gave voice to Anthony DeMartino, Kevin Thompson and Charles "Upchuck" Ruttheimer III.

Teaching career

On the show, Mr. Timothy O'Neill taught English and Self Esteem class at Lawndale High, and was in many respects the polar opposite of the uptight Mr. Anthony DeMartino. Mr. O'Neill was gentle, soft spoken and ludicrously sensitive, very in touch with his emotions but incapable of controlling them. His English assignments were often ill-disguised attempts to get his students to express personal pain or experiences, and he himself would often cry in class. Furthermore, O'Neill put no legitimate intellectual effort in his Self Esteem class and recited the curriculum by rote while refusing to answer any original questions from students.

Personality

He is easily frightened by the most innocuous of things, and he can't remember a person's name to save his life. He's a "sensitive new-age type" who is always talking about one's feelings; unfortunately, he doesn't have a very good grip on his own emotions, as he's almost always upset or distressed about something.

Relationship with Ms. Barch

On the second season episode, "The Daria Hunter", Mr. O'Neill (unwittingly) began a sexual-but-not-romantic relationship with the bitter, man-hating Janet Barch, which is repeated in episodes plotted similarly to "The Daria Hunter", "Fair Enough" and "Just Add Water" (and was mentioned briefly in the episodes "Murder She Snored" and "The F Word" [a.k.a "Fail"] ).

In the series finale/made-for-TV movie, "Is It College Yet?", Mr. O'Neill is coached by Mr. DeMartino to stand up to Ms. Barch and break up with him, but Barch ends up beating up Mr. DeMartino and taking a shine to Mr. O'Neill's aggressive attitude.
