Carbon Costume Men
Driver
Ryan Gosling plays the unnamed “Driver” in the movie Drive. The character seems to have a stable, yet lonely, life, working three jobs as a mechanic, stuntman, and a secret getaway driver. Though his life changes when he meets his new neighbors, Driver is consistently seen in his scorpion jacket and chewing on a toothpick throughout the film.
The Incredible Burt Wonderstone
Burt Wonderstone is a world famous magician with a flamboyant streak. When his fame starts to fade, he’s forced to reckon with the up-and-coming street act of the dark and mysterious Steve Gray.
Kai the Hitchhiker
When Kai hitched a ride with a stranger he probably wasn’t expecting to save a life or become an internet sensation as a result. However, that’s what happened when an interview with the laid back hitchhikers took the internet by storm and resulted in several parodies. Perhaps this proves everyone does get 15 minutes of fame.
Tobias Fünke
Tobias Fünke was at one point a standby understudy for the Blue Man Group. He “blue himself” and waited until 8:01PM every night in case he was needed to fill in for a spot. After being disappointed each time, he would remove the makeup and be left in his infamous cut-off shorts.
Ron Burgundy
Ron Burgundy is the popular and award-winning anchor for the KVWN-TV Channel 4 Evening News team. Always confident and well-dressed, he believes “diversity” to be some type of “old, old wooden ship used in the Civil War era.”
Dudley Heinsbergen
In the Royal Tenenbaums, Dudley Heinsbergen is diagnosed by Raleigh St. Clair as suffering from a rare disorder combining symptoms of amnesia, dyslexia, and color-blindness, with a highly acute sense of hearing. Welcome to Dudley’s world.
Raj Koothrappali
In The Big Bang Theory, Raj Koothrappali (Kunal Nayyar) works with Sheldon Cooper and maintains a bromance with Howard Wolowitz. His game suffers from his inability to talk to women sober, as well as his garish sweater vest and jacket combos.
King Vitaman
King Vitaman might be royalty, but he’s not nearly as popular as the Count or Cap’n. No one’s had breakfast with the king in many years, yet he somehow manages to stay on the shelves.
Howard Wolowitz
Despite a highly successful career as an engineer and astronaut, Howard Wolowitz (Simon Helberg) gets mocked constantly by his friends in The Big Bang Theory. He considers himself a ladies man, but that female attention comes mainly from his mother.
Alistair Hennessey
Alistair Hennessey is arch-nemesis to Steve Zissou in The Life Aquatic. True, Hennessey was once married to Zissou’s wife, but the animosity is more that he’s more handsome, rich, fashionable, and all-around successful than his counterpart.
