[edit] Jimmy Cracker
Portrayed by Brian Posehn. Jimmy was the roadie for Banjo Sullivan. He was an aspiring rodeo clown that never quite made it. When he returned with some drinks for the band, Otis and Baby had taken them hostage. Baby lured Jimmy inside where Otis shot him in the head.
[edit] Roy Sullivan
Portrayed by Geoffrey Lewis. Roy was the main singer of Banjo and Sullivan. He always liked to tell people that he shook hands with Johnny Cash. Otis took him and Adam Banjo out to get some weapons that he had buried before, when he and Adam tried to overpower him. They failed. Otis managed to subdue Roy and commanded him to pray to God before proclaiming that he was the Devil and bludgeoning him to death.
[edit] Adam Banjo
Portrayed by Lew Temple. Adam liked to act tough, but he showed himself to be a coward in dangerous situations. When Otis took Adam and Roy out for the guns, the two tried to overpower him when Otis shot Adam in the neck. He made him watch him kill Roy and then proceeded to skin Adam's face while still alive.
[edit] Gloria Sullivan
Portrayed by Priscilla Barnes. Gloria was Roy's wife. In the motel, Otis made her strip before sexually humiliating her. She later pulled a gun on Baby only for her to throw a knife at Gloria. Gloria died, but not before Baby taunted her by telling her that the gun was not loaded.
[edit] Wendy Banjo
Portrayed by Kate Norby. Wendy was Adam's wife. When Wendy asked to go to the bathroom, while being held hostage, Baby made her slap Gloria until satisfied before letting her in. Wendy attempted to escape and succeeded briefly, only to run into Baby's father, Captain Spaulding, who promptly knocked her out with a headbutt and brought her back inside the room. Otis returned wearing her husband's face like a mask, which he then forced her to wear. When a maid went to check on the room, she was greeted by the gruesome aftermath of the murders; Wendy, now completely insane, was hanging from the door when she leapt onto the maid and chased her out of the room and ran into open traffic. She attempted to flag down a car when she was run over by a truck.
The band's albums would skyrocket after news of their deaths and would go on to sell over a million copies.
[edit] The Album
The Banjo & Sullivan: The Ultimate Collection with songs from Jesse Dayton was released to coincide with Rejects. It contained songs like I Don't Give A Truck, Dick Soup and the ironic Lord, Don't Let Me Die In A Cheap Motel.
