Anthony Page is a government worker who has worked as a legal advisor for civil rights cases and the Department of Social Services. He is originally from Los Angeles and was unfamiliar with the general culture of Texas, which led to false assumptions such as Hank being a "redneck", and thus more likely to be abusive to his son. Anthony's condescending and invasive approach often infuriates Hank, who has on multiple occasions lost his temper with Anthony. Hank refers to Anthony as "Twig-boy" because of his scrawny size.
Personality and appearance
Anthony is a stereotypical bureaucrat who follows the rules to a tee. He is known to not adequately preform his job and is oblivious when being deceived because he is gullible to people he views as victims. He is often very irrational and hypocritical. In "Junkie Business", after Hank questions the legitimacy of the disability status of a drug addict, Anthony becomes irate and sternly defensive of his client. He declares that his drug addicted client is "truly disabled", all while using the Americans With Disability Act as justification. (pictured) In "Pilot", when working for Social Services Anthony attempts to take Bobby into care after incorrectly believing he was being subjected to abuse by Hank. When Anthony's boss intervenes, it was determined Anthony failed to conduct an interview with Bobby's baseball coach who was a crucial witness and he is subsequently sent back to Los Angeles.
Anthony is also seen buying organic, vegetarian snacks for a Super Bowl party, and later attending Luanne's wedding in "Lucky's Wedding Suit".
He is voiced by David Herman.
Trivia
- A sign outside Anthony's office shows he works for "Arlen County." This was changed in subsequent episodes to Heimlich County, in which Arlen is an incorporated city.
