5 seasons of the comedy series about young people with superpowers gave a lot of fun moments to all fans of this genre. Rudy from the Dregs became one of the brightest characters, and his statements were quickly sorted into quotes. The series stopped shooting, but the actors became real celebrities. In this article, you will find out who played Rudy in The Dregs and what this multi-part comedy film was about.
Plot
Five young people end up in a social center. For their sins, they are obliged to spend 200 hours in community service. The overseer gives everyone an inventory and shows personal lockers. But on the very first day there is a severe thunderstorm and the guys become almost superheroes. Nathan gains immortality, Simon can move in time and become invisible, Kelly reads the thoughts of living creatures, Alisha touches an intolerable sexual desire with a touch, Curtis can change the past. All this does not bring them happiness - one after another they kill three warders. Soon they will find out that besides them there are other people to whom the storm presented different abilities.
Over time, the guys begin to find advantages and take advantage of their new capabilities. But already in the second season they meet a merchant who with great pleasure buys from them a wonderful gift for a not very large amount. This entrepreneur has his own talent - to take away any ability. True, the company later returned to terminate the deal. But it turned out that in return they can receive any gift, and not just their own. They chose new skills that were even better than before.
The appearance of a marginal
Rudy in The Dregs appears only in the third season. From the first episode, fans realized that he should replace Nathan, who had left the band. But still, the new character was more cynical and sometimes even more disgusting than a curly bastard. The series is replete with obscene expressions and explicit scenes. When Gilgan was offered to play Rudy in The Garbage, the actor agreed, because in his filmography there were not yet large and noticeable roles. It was this series that attracted the attention of directors.
In the story, Rudy had a rather strange ability - he had a double. Periodically, he came out of his body and there was always a conflict between them. The second Rudi condemned the marginal lifestyle of his fellow man and was eager to live his own life. It soon became clear that there was also a third character. But he was in prison for some time, as the first two Rudy set him up. They hardly managed to get rid of the third, but this did not solve all their problems. The conflict threatened to escalate into a real war. Constant moralizing from his counterpart freaked out the nervous and restless first Rudy.
Big changes
Some progress in behavior is outlined when a cynical womanizer falls in love with a nun. The second Rudy is satisfied - at last the first will begin a normal life. But fate was cruel: the nun dies at the hands of the demons of the apocalypse. But still this moment left its imprint on the guy’s behavior, and he even became close with his parents. They were always happy to see their son, but they also had trouble. Rudy's father also received a blow from the elements during a thunderstorm and acquired a double. Only he was a cruel tyrant and murderer. The son had to work hard to free his mother from the captivity of the tyrant and save her from death. Meanwhile, the second Rudy completely abandoned the body and went to live independently. They found him a deep old man, and the guys had to work hard to restore his original appearance.
Rudy's phrases from the Garbage
Almost all of his statements contain a large number of obscene words. We picked up only the most innocent and harmless.
- And you look at the master!
- I'm in shock! And I feel sick ... Then I’ll eat a chocolate bar, I’m sad.
- Don't you dare say here what you were going to say!
- Somehow it's not kosher!
- I have fooled you with my skills of hellish cunning. And all this time, vermicelli hung on the ears.
- Last time I had to threaten the cheerleader carriage and the cat. I still feel sorry for the cat.
- Get ready to get stunned, go nuts and fuck so easy.
