Mitchell "Mitch" Miller is the short (5’4 ½”), annoying student in the same class as Eric, Hyde, Fez, and Kelso.
Character[]
In Mitch's first appearance, he and his father, Charlie Miller (portrayed by Fred Willard), were competing in the Point Place Paul Bunyan pioneer events. It was after he and his father were losing that he learned that his father liked to wear chaps.
In his second appearance, Mitch is shown as a member of the school paper who wanted to get his driver's license. When Fez refused, he published a photo of Fez and Kelso kissing each other in the school newspaper.
He returns in "Substitute" as a worker at the Mini golf. After Eric accidentally hits him with a ball, he invites Mitch to hang with the group. While doing so, it is revealed that like Eric, he enjoys Star Wars models and comic books. He also managed to get everyone in the group, with exception of Eric, to like him, resulting in him being invited to spend more time with everyone.
In "Squeezebox", he uses the fact that a random girl (Slushee slut) knew Eric as a way to break Donna and Eric up due to him having a crush on Donna Pinciotti.
In "5:15", he asked Donna to be his date to his brother's wedding. Despite Eric's objections, she agreed to go with him. He then invited Jackie to be a chaperone on said date, so Jackie and Fez joined them. The wedding happened to be at the hotel Eric worked at so he decided to switch his shift to observe the date. After revealing this to the table, Eric walks away. During his best man speech, he claims to the crowd that Donna is his fiancee, embarrassing Donna. Returning to the Forman basement, Mitch declares that he has to fight Eric at 5:15 PM the next day. The next day, Mitch showed up for the fight he pulled Eric aside to discuss the fight. Not wanting to fight, Mitch persuaded Eric not to fight with him by offering him a French-made G.I. Joe called "G.I. Jacques". He stopped hanging out with the gang after this, making this episode his final appearance on the original show.
He reappears almost 20 years later in "Just a Friend", now the manager at the Hot Topic store where Gwen Runck works, living with his mother, and still hung up on Donna. When Eric and Donna's teenage daughter Leia Forman applies and states her last name, he is suspicious that she might be related to Eric, but she pretends not to be. Later in the episode he learns of an affair between Gwen and an employee from the Abercrombie & Fitch store, and fires her. Leia quits in solidarity and reveals her parentage to Mitch before she leaves.
A month later in "Are You Gonna Go My Way" Donna considers moving back to Point Place with Leia after Eric gets a job at Skywalker Ranch, but is on the fence. Meanwhile, Nate Runck starts attending a men's support group Mitch is running and brings Bob to a meeting, both as a genuine attempt to help him with a recent depression and a way to distract him from turning Donna off the idea. The moment Mitch hears Bob's last name and learns Donna's in town, he runs off to the Formans' house to try and seduce Donna, but fails miserably. At the next meeting, Red joins the group and mentions Donna is staying in Point Place after all, making Mitch hopeful again.
