Bony schoolteacher created by Washington Irving in "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow."
Ichabod was tall, skinny, and unattractive. He also had a big ego and was very proud of his education. He believed that his intelligence entitled him to the hand of the lovely Katrina Van Tassel, rather than the burly Brom Bones.
He scoffed at the legend of the Headless Horseman, but he soon learned the error of his ways...
In media adaptations of the story, including live-action films, TV, and cartoons, Ichabod has been portrayed by Will Rogers, Bing Crosby, Jeff Goldblum, Ed Begley, Jr., Wishbone, Johnny Depp, William H. Macy, Tom Mison, and Roger L. Jackson.
