Characters and Casting

In addition to Tim, Paul and Richard, numerous other recurring characters appeared throughout the series. These included:

  • Flacco (Paul Livingston): a strange alien being with a high-pitched voice. He spends most of his time talking to his pet (animated) cockroach, Ross.
  • Psycho Bob (Michael Petroni): an American serial killer and psychotic who has somehow stowed away on board. He usually has a ranting monologue to camera ending with his catchphrase: "I'm Bob, and I'll be back." Tim is the only member of the crew to have seen or encountered him.
  • Thulgore (animated): a giant crab who lives in the engine room.
  • The Shitsu-Tonka newsreader (Khym Lam): the boys' only contact with the outside world is broadcasts from Shitsu-Tonka's television network, including regular bulletins from a female Asian newsreader.
  • Bob Downe (Mark Trevorrow): a cheesy cabaret singer who is a TV personality on Shitsu-Tonka.
  • Wayne Kerr (Tim Ferguson): along with his sidekick pals, Spinner (Richard Fidler) and Paddlefoot (Paul McDermott), are characters in the most violent program on Shitsu-Tonka ("with a G-5 violence rating!").
  • Troy the Invincible (Paul McDermott): appears on Shitsu-Tonka. Performs acts of violence on himself to demonstrate the invincibility of his working-class principles.
  • Uncle Biff Happy (Richard Fidler): a used car salesman whose ads appear on Shitsu-Tonka.

Famous quotes containing the words characters and/or casting:

    “I cannot be much pleased without an appearance of truth; at least of possibility—I wish the history to be natural though the sentiments are refined; and the characters to be probable, though their behaviour is excelling.”
    —Frances Burney (1752–1840)

    “Reason sits firm and holds the reins, and she will not let the feelings burst away and hurry her to wild chasms. The passions may rage furiously, like true heathens, as they are; and the desires may imagine all sorts of vain things: but judgement shall still have the last word in every argument, and the casting vote in every decision.”
    —Charlotte Brontë (1816–1855)
