Tennessee O'Neal is the most sensitive of the Country Bears band in the film The Country Bears. He plays the "One String Thang" and is a soulful singer and dynamic force onstage. Offstage, he is an emotional, nervous wreck. He quit the band when the love of his life Trixie left him and started dating a panda instead (Fred Bedderhead: "What's with the pandas? They get everything."). He then tried to be a marriage counselor, but he broke down in heaving sobs during his sessions with clients. Even though Tennessee agreed to rejoin the band for Beary, his anxiety attacks about seeing Trixie again nearly killed him.
