Carbon Costume Men
Short Round
Kennon Wong, nicknamed Short Round (Jonathan Ke Quan), has been through a lot. He’s an orphan from the Second Sino-Japanese War, he earns a living as an 11-year-old driving a taxicab in Shanghai, and he assists Indiana Jones on his mission. But his unique nickname has nothing to do with any of these — Short Round is named after the screenwriters’ pet dog.
Baby Brent
Brent McHale is the town celebrity of Swallow Falls in Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. He was the spokesperson for the town’s sardine cannery as a baby and still does guest appearances as Baby Brent – even though it seems wrong for a grown man to be parading around in diapers. He helps Flint and Sam save the town after he becomes Chicken Brent – let’s just say you have to watch the movie to know what that means.
Earl Devereaux
Earl Devereaux is the no-nonsense police officer of Swallow Falls. He’s extremely athletic and moves by backflipping and tumbling around. When his chest hairs start tingling, he senses something wrong is about to happen in Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs.
Agent Smith
In The Matrix trilogy, Agent Smith (Hugo Weaving) is an artificial intelligence program tasked with keeping order within the matrix. As an agent, he possesses superhuman speed and strength. But he also has weaknesses, including a bad temper and the inability to dodge bullets shot from a certain distance.
Flint Lockwood
Flint Lockwood is an inventor who just wants to prove himself to everyone in Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. Unfortunately no one really understands his inventions or find them useful – that is until he develops the FLDSMDFR. But with his track record of failed inventions, it’s not long before it starts raining oversized mutated foods.
Malcolm Reynolds
Mal Reynolds is the captain of the Serenity crew in the Firefly series. Despite his tough guy exterior, he really has a heart of gold. He helps River and Simon Tam hide from the Alliance, even if it means putting himself and his crew in danger.
Les Grossman
You may not have caught it, but in Tropic Thunder, Tom Cruise cameos as studio exec Les Grossman. He’s brash, foul-mouthed, hot-headed, and has dirty dance moves. He also has the hairiest, meatiest forearms you’ll ever see.
Risky Business
In Risky Business, when high schooler Joel Goodson (Tom Cruise) is left home alone, he promptly raids the liquor cabinet, and then starts dancing and lip syncing to “Old Time Rock and Roll”. No pants, no mic, no problem.
