Oh, as a left handed person, I do the left hand search and then happy dance when I discover a character I like is left handed as well.

Like Kermit the Frog? A leftie. Awesome.

Oh, and Renner is indeed left handed in real life. So is Scarlet "Black Widow" Johansson. I like to think that in order to be a S.H.I.E.L.D. covert agent, being left handed is a requirement.

Martin Freeman (The Office, the Hitchiker's movie, Sherlock BBC) is a left-handed. So is Ron Perlman. In fact, his left-handedness came in handy (ha!) for Hellboy; he was able to wear the Right Hand of Doom but still have his dominant hand free.

Another example: Hiccup from How to Train Your Dragon is a leftie. And he's animated, which means that was a choice the animators made, instead of just happenstance.

So was Haruko Haruhara from the anime, FLCL. The creators thought left handed people were eccentric and therefore it would be best if Haruhara was left handed as well.

House had a bunch with left handed people as well. The actors who played Cuddy (Lisa Edelstein), Wilson (Robert Sean Leonard), Forman (Omar Epps) were all lefties. And when Cuddy left in the last season, the new actress who came in to play Dr. Adams, (Odette Annable) was almost left handed.

What I thought was interesting for Fringe was the father and son characters of Walter (John Noble) and Peter (Joshua Jackson) were both left handed.

RE: FLCL Why am I not surprised...? (-:

I never noticed that about Fringe! Neat.

A bunch of the Links in the Zelda series are left-handed, with only Skyward Sword Link canonically using his sword in his right hand. (He and OoT Link are probably mixed-handed, though, just with different dominant hands.)

Data from Star Trek is, and so are Arik Soong and his great-grandson Noonien (his creator), in which case it's probably deliberate since Noonien was basing Data on himself.

Raphael from the Soul series is. Also animated, and thus deliberate and not due to the actor (Data and both Soongs are played by left-handed Brent Spiner).

Most Muppets end up as lefties just because of how they're operated - the muppeteer's right hand handles the mouth, the left runs their hands.

Ironically, when the muppeteer's left handed, the Muppet ends up right handed for the same reason.

This holds a little less strongly for live-hand Muppets (especially those where the 'right-handing' muppeteer handles both hands), but even there it's common. (If you chance on Sesame Street some time, watch Big Bird closely - usually his right hand is pinned to his belly and he does everything with the left, since as a costume Muppet, nobody can right-hand for him under normal circumstances.)
