-->'''Dooley:''' (''after finding [=McFee=] fleeing while tied to a chair'') Do I even need to ask?\\

* InvulnerableKnuckles: Played straight and averted. His "carrot and stick" routine has him usually beating the shit out of suspects with his bare hands, and he's usually no worse for wear. However, in Season 2 he breaks his hand knocking out Dottie, and spends the rest of the season with a cast. Note, this may be a WrittenInInfirmity.

** When Sousa interrogates a homeless man who was a witness to the events on the Heartbreak, he tries to appeal to his better nature by pointing out how they're both war veterans rejected by society. But the man refuses to care, so Thompson enters and tries a different tactic: bribing the man with a burger and bottle of scotch. Sure enough, the guy springs for it and starts talking, with Thompson telling Sousa, "Not everyone wants a hug."

* MeaningfulName: "Jack" is a slang word meaning "man", perfectly embodying his "macho-y" nature.

* UncertainDoom: What ended up being the series finale ended with Thompson getting shot by a mysterious assailant. With the series being over, it's completely up in the air whether he died or not. However, considering in the ''Film/AgentCarter'' short set after the show showing Agent John Flynn (who's also a {{Jerkass}} like Thompson at first, but lacking his later redeeming qualities) having replaced him as the head of the S.S.R.'s New York office further leans towards the possibility that he was killed and Flynn later took over his vacant position as a result.

[[/folder]]

* BrokenAce: Thompson secretly confided in Peggy that he killed Japanese soldiers that he assumes were about to surrender and covered it up, and feels great remorse over his actions.

[[caption-width-right:300:''"I buried myself deep in this job the day that I started."'']]

!!!'''Portrayed By:''' Creator/SheaWhigham
!!!'''Voiced By:''' Óscar Gómez (Latin-American Spanish dub); Antonio Villar (European Spanish dub)

The chief of the New York City S.S.R. branch, where Peggy works.

* AdaptationalHeroism: The thing Dooley is known for in the comics is that he was a corrupt and depraved S.H.I.E.L.D. agent who had sexually harassed ComicBook/SheHulk. He's still a jerk in the show, but not anymore so than the typical male of the era. In fact, ''this'' Dooley is treated as a good guy, a mostly-competent chief of the S.S.R. and dies heroically saving his employees from a bomb explosion.
* AdaptationDyeJob: He's blond in the comic.
* AgeLift: In as much as he was originally depicted in the comics' present-day, but the show shows him as the same age, or older, shortly after UsefulNotes/WorldWarII.
* AndStarring: Shea Whigham gets this treatment in the OBB.
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: Dr. Fennhoff hypnotizes him in episode 7, causing Dooley to lock up Peggy and Jarvis, steal a Stark invention for the doctor, and put on an explosive vest threatening to blow up the whole office.
* DaChief: He's the classic hard-ass chief, though with a counter-intelligence organization rather than a police one.
* DeadpanSnarker: He has a very dry wit and a tendency to snark at the more outlandish things his job meets.
-->'''Dooley:''' (''after finding [=McFee=] fleeing while tied to a chair'') Do I even need to ask?\\
'''[=McFee=]:''' Ask what?\\
'''Dooley:''' Yeah, I guess you're right. I used to strap a chair to my ass and take long walks around the neighborhood, too.
* EveryoneHasStandards: When Thompson makes a crack about Peggy after she leaves during a tense moment Dooley not so subtly tells him to shut it.
* AFatherToHisMen: After Krzeminski's death, he vows to not lose another one of his agents and to get the man responsible. He gets a similar treatment from the rest of the S.S.R. after his death.
* FightingFromTheInside: Downplayed. Dooley shows mild awareness he's doing something wrong while hypnotized and at one point is reluctant to hand Fennhoff the invention. When we see inside his mind, he admits he knows he let a criminal get away but he couldn't find the will in himself to snap out of the trance and arrest him.
* HappyPlace: Imagining he's with his family is how Fennhoff keeps him delusional and under his control.
* HeroicSacrifice: After being fitted with an explosive vest, Dooley shoots a window and jumps out of it to prevent the S.S.R. from being destroyed with him.
* HiddenDepths: His sexism seem to have been the result of his wife's infidelity. As a result, he distrusts women.
* InspectorJavert: Dooley fully believes (incorrectly) that Howard is a traitor to his country and is hellbent on proving it, but he's just misguided rather than unsympathetic. Eventually, as he uncovers more on the Finow massacre, he even comes to question his views towards Stark.
* JerkassHasAPoint: He doesn't want to sent Peggy on missions, but as he points out in "The Iron Ceiling" if anything happens to her, he'll be the moron who got a woman killed in action.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Dooley is rather sexist and dismissive of Peggy, but he's a dedicated lawman who cares about his agents and his country.
* NobleBigotWithABadge: He treats Carter with the same casual sexism as most of her colleagues and tends to dismiss her input if it's not convenient to him, but he's genuinely committed to serving and protecting his country, and according to Whigham, cares more deeply for his agents (including Peggy) than he feels capable of showing.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: When evidence comes to light that implies Stark is being set up he immediately starts looking into discovering it. He also recognizes Peggy's competence just before his death.
* SacrificialLion: The local BigGood dies in "SNAFU".
* TrailersAlwaysLie: Press materials said he would be a ReasonableAuthorityFigure who would be supportive of Peggy and appreciative of her accomplishments. In the series itself, he appears to be just as sexist as the rest of the S.S.R..

* BlackAndGrayMorality: Other than Carter herself, the SSR folks are by-and-large chauvinistic {{Inspector Javert}}s who will often use [[JackBauerInterrogationTechnique ethically questionable]] tactics when questioning witnesses; meanwhile, Howard Stark and Jarvis will often keep secrets from others, including Peggy. On the other hand, the Leviathan organization is clearly, unambiguously evil (or at least [[DirtyCommunist the worst possible depiction of a Soviet agency]]), but its leader turns out to have moralistic motives behind their murders.

** As far as all of Peggy's civilian acquaintances are concerned, she works for the Bell Phone Company, which host the SSR New York Office.
** The Auberbach Theatrical Agency serves as front for the SSR LA Office.
* DeliberateValuesDissonance: SSR agents have absolutely no problem [[JackBauerInterrogationTechnique beating the crap out of a suspect when he won't cooperate]].
* MadonnaWhoreComplex: Seems to be a dominant mindset, to varying degrees, amongst Peggy's sexist colleagues at the SSR.
* YouGetMeCoffee: Most of the SSR thinks Peggy is only good for getting them coffee and reports.

The US Army Colonel in charge of the SuperSoldier project alongside Erskine. Upon first seeing Rogers (before the serum), he "wanted to cry" and had absolutely no faith in the young asthmatic. Even after the project worked, Phillips still considered it a failure because Rogers was its only product instead of the supersoldier army he hoped for. While Phillips went off to the battlefield, he intended for Rogers to be locked up in a lab - didn't work out quite so well as the Captain became America's greatest propaganda icon. After the Cap saved 400 prisoners from HYDRA, the two reconciled and worked together to bring down Schmidt.

-->“The interesting thing, for instance about Thompson, is Thompson has actually learned nothing. Which is an overstatement - He’s learned something. I know this is a different topic entirely but his theme at the end of the show… We always thought of as this is the moment you decide how the rest of your life is going to go. And he thinks about it and he knows what the right to do is and he chooses to do the thing that benefits him the most. I think I’m actually probably wrong when I say he hasn’t learned something. He’s learned something, but now it’s almost worse that he’s actually making the active choice, like, “I’m going to screw a bunch of people over because it benefits me.” I find that really interesting because it’s growth, in a way, because he’s taking charge. But it’s growth in the wrong direction.”

* PetTheDog: In Season Two, even though he's become corrupt he does his best to protect Sousa and Peggy from Masters's wrath by trying to get them to drop the Arena Club investigation, lest they become the victims of a smear campaign.

* UncertainDoom: What ended up being the series finale ended with Thompson getting shot by a mysterious assailant. With the series being over, it's completely up in the air whether he died or not. However, considering in the ''Film/AgentCarter'' short set after the show showing Agent John Flynn (who's also a {{Jerkass}} like Thompson at first, but lacking his later redeeming qualities) having replaced him as the head of the SSR's New York office further leans towards the possibility that he was killed and Flynn later took over his vacant position as a result.

!!!'''Portrayed By:''' Matt Braunger

A scientist working in the S.S.R.'s LA office.

* BizarreTasteInFood: Orders a pickled herring salad sandwich for lunch. When placing the order on the phone, Thompson finds the mere idea of it so disgusting he can barely even say it.
* DudeWheresMyRespect: He feels like because he is not a field agent, his work isn't given the appropriate recognition. He isn't entirely wrong.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: ''Nobody'' at the S.S.R. can stand Samberly, and that includes Sousa. This is actually why Sousa feels he can trust him. He figures that there's no way Samberly could be secretly working for the bad guys because ''they'' wouldn't want him around either.
* GadgeteerGenius: He is the one who comes up with the gadgets the S.S.R. agents use in the field.
* IJustWantToBeBadass: He joined the S.S.R. because Sousa promised him that he would get training and become a field agent, but he ended up in a lab.
* InsufferableGenius: He may be a genius on par with Wilkes or Howard Stark, but his pettiness and resentment make him act like a jerk towards the agents, even in urgent situations.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Samberly is bitter, petty, and irritable but he's far from a bad person.
* MadScientist: He has a very cavalier attitude regarding the testing of his gadgets on his coworkers.
* NonActionGuy: He is completely useless in a fight, a fact that he blames Sousa for not keeping his promise of getting him training.
