[edit] Main Characters

[edit] Ricky

Ricky (played by Robb Wells) — Enjoys marijuana, hash, alcohol. He is Julian's best friend. Bubbles claims that Ricky taught himself to read (minimally) by working through the instructions on frozen food packages labels so that he could eat. Apparently had Attention Deficit Disorder, which causes his restlessness.

Ricky is frequently shot or injured under very embarrassing circumstances, possibly due to having only a Grade 10 education, which he earned halfway through the show. As of Season Six, he is determined to get his GED sometime in the future. Because of his limited education as well as extensive alcohol and drug use, Ricky is known to use malapropisms dubbed Rickyisms by fans. Some of his more famous lines include Worst Case Ontario,"a toad oh so" instead of "I told you so" and pronouncing jalapeno (hal-a-pino) the way it is spelled. For many years (well into adulthood) he believed that God and Santa Claus were one and the same; Ricky referred to them both as "The Big Guy" and failed to distinguish between God from Santa because both a) were associated with Christmas, and b) always knew whether he had been good or bad.

Despite his educational and linguistic shortcomings, Ricky is an accomplished illicit horticulturist and has grown and sold large crops of hydroponic marijuana. He's also an expert at talking his way out of trouble with the law. He will often trick the police and his victims into helping him physically carry the things he plans to steal. At times, such as the season four episode "Working Man", he gets shot by the SWAT team after a faulty security check leads them to believe that their guns are aimed at Mr. Lahey; gets shot in the behind accidentally by Trinity when she handles a gun he left lying around; accidentally shot himself in the foot when stealing some stereo equipment from a warehouse with Cory and Trevor when they were trying to escape a guard dog; and shot during a shootout with the owner of the riding mower they were stealing to pay a debt to Sam Losco for stitching Ricky up.

Ricky often uses his own caustic brand of anti-humor knock-knock jokes with an insulting, expletive-filled punchline, such as "Fuck off." His standard outfit is track pants and a cheap shirt that is often the same for an entire season. This is backed up by the statement that he has worn it for a little under two years. As a season progresses, he may hold his shirt together with duct tape. He is addicted to smoking cigarettes. In one episode, he uses nicotine patches to quit with his nine year-old daughter, Trinity, who also was addicted. (It didn't work; he was smoking while wearing multiple patches.) In one episode of season 4, he was smoking three cigarettes at once.

Although he is generally a selfish individual, Ricky tries to be a good father to his daughter Trinity, even trying to "go straight" and get an honest job as a mall security guard to be with her and Lucy, despite the misery it caused him. He even went so far as to literally kiss Mr. Lahey's ass when he used the money he was going to use to buy a trailer with to buy Trinity a set of encyclopedias to help her with her schoolwork-his deal with Lahey being that if he didn't have the money, he would kiss Lahey's ass.

His diet consists mainly of alcohol, chicken chips, chicken fingers, pepperoni, donairs (from King of Donair), and jalapeño potato chips (which he pronounces "ja-LAP-a-no"), all dressed potato chips (which he calls "Dressed All Over") and zesty cheese tortilla chips (which he calls "Zesty Mordant," a send-up of bilingual packaging in Canada, where the French term for 'Zesty' is 'Mordant' and is displayed side by side on the packaging).

Most of the time Ricky lives in an old Chrysler New Yorker donated to him by Julian known as the Shit-mobile, which is missing its passenger-side front door, the driver's side door does not open, has a severely damaged gear box, numerous scratches and dents along with a very bad paint job. The reason he lives in it is because he doesn't have to pay lot fees on it. Bubbles commented that the car was originally Julian's "grandmothers'" who used to drive it around the park drunk all the time, smashing into things. ("You think Julian has a drink in his hand all the time?"-Bubbles) This apparently has a bit of a continuity error as the car appears to be in pristine shape in the Christmas special, but by the end of the episode, Ricky has caused a lot of damage of the car, including the loss of the passenger door. When he's not committing crimes and smoking dope, Ricky works part time as a garbage collector picking up garbage around the park, playing video games with the boys, and making out with Lucy. Due to his body odour, combined with the garbage and Lucy's reluctance to continue their relationship, he must wait until the smell wears off before he can come in her trailer.

Ricky has also been notorious for kidnapping people and forcing them to do his dirty work. Among the many hostages he has held includes Canadian musicians Alex Lifeson of Rush (after he refused to give them tickets to the concert and Ricky insisted on a private show at the trailer park), and Rita MacNeil (whom he kidnapped, along with her band, forcing them to harvest his marijuana crop at gunpoint). According to Ricky, his birthday is sometime in the spring of 1971, and the fact that he conceived Trinity at 24, which would place his age around 35. He is sometimes maliciously nicknamed "Reveen" after resembling Canadian hypnotist Peter Reveen "the Impossiblist", an identification which he can't stand. He does not like this too much, often getting extremely upset and leading to more swearing and violence. In the episode with Conky, the puppet Conky calls him Reveen. He almost shoots Conky who is controlled by Bubbles. Luckily Julian in his great wisdom stops this from happening. This shows Ricky's lack of thinking things through. He personally considers his lack of thinking an actual life saver. In the last episode of season 5, he has a heart attack but does not die, thanks to Lahey's administering of CPR. He claims that his absence of thinking saved his life because his non-thinking brain does not need much oxygen.

[edit] Ricky's Family

Father: Ray
Mother: Tammy
Girlfriend: Lucy
Daughter: Trinity ("Trin")

Ricky was set on marrying Lucy until the wedding was interrupted by the police. He also had another girlfriend named Sarah, a relationship that ended during one of his many stays in jail.

[edit] Julian

Julian (played by John Paul Tremblay) — "The brains" of the outfit, he is smarter of the pair and the leader of the group, although he does claim that Bubbles is the 'sharpest person in the trailer park'. His main goal in life is to get rich quick and retire, a goal he works towards with a series of drug related activities, stealing items of value under $1000, and 'investments'. Also, he is sometimes referred to as Alch-y (for alcoholic) and Patrick Swayze, due to an arguably close resemblance, which he can't stand being called. He is very rarely seen without a drink (usually rum and Coke) in his hand, and always wears jeans and a black t-shirt. The sound of ice clinking against glass follows him everywhere. Likewise, he refuses to put down the drink even when he is partaking in heists and public buildings, having the drink in one hand, and a firearm (a Beretta 92 in early seasons and in Season Five a Colt 1911) in another. Julian has emerged from rollover car crashes with his rum and coke completely intact, and has carried Cory and Trevor with his drink and gun as well. Julian is generally more sensible than Ricky, and sometimes thinks of getting a legitimate job, but "Freedom 35", the plan to get enough money through crime to retire early, always lures him back in. He briefly dated police Constable Erica Miller, but he wouldn't give up his career of crime to continue the relationship. It ended with him telling her off and allowing himself to be taken down to the police station by her.

Julian was raised by Levi and Desiree after they found him abandoned in the trailer park. Julian does not know who his biological parents are, nor does he much care. He has no other blood relatives that he knows about, although he has 'adopted' an elderly woman in the trailer park as his grandmother (Mrs. Peterson). She occasionally buys him presents, mostly consisting of booze, dope and CDs, for which in return Julian babysits her dog. This occasionally has disastrous consequences, namely whenever Julian has to deal with Ricky and Bubbles, while also taking care of the dog. His birthday is somewhere in October, 1971, also making him around the age of 35, give or take a few months.

[edit] Bubbles

Bubbles (played by Mike Smith) — Julian and Ricky's best friend and conscience, known for his hoarse voice, absent-mindedness, and coke-bottle glasses. Abandoned as a five year old, Bubbles lives in a tool shed with his cats, who are his only family. He makes a living by stealing and refurbishing shopping carts. The scheme entails the theft of the carts from numerous local malls by tossing them into a ravine from which he retrieves them at night. He then takes the carts home, fixes them up, re-paints them, and resells them to other malls for $12 per cart, an act which he calls 'remarketing' and does not consider a crime. Lahey and Randy do not interfere with this scheme, but Bubbles was given a hard time by Gary the Mall Cop and Ricky during his temporary job as a guard. In the first season, his voice was low and monotone, but in the second season, his voice changed to one he has kept since. He explained that he accidentally had his tonsils removed while Ricky and Julian were doing three months in jail, and this is the reason for his currently hoarse and rough voice.

An animal lover, Bubbles makes the ballooning population of stray cats his own responsibility, feeding and looking after them. Even though most are grown, he refers to them as kitties. Once, he actually tried to care for a mountain lion which he named 'Steve French', and discovered in the half-eaten dope fields near the trailer park. When 'Steve French' got out of control in the park, Bubbles was forced to release him back into the wild. At the end of Season Four, Bubbles was arrested for the first time for driving, and crashing, a courier truck with a blatantly fake license. But because it was his first offense, he was given permission by the judge to keep one of his kitties ("Vince the Pince") in his cell during his two month sentence, since the cat had a deformed paw and therefore was (allegedly) unable to look after itself. However, Bubbles revealed that he had lied to the judge, "so I could have the little mafucker in here with me!"

His name comes from his childhood love of blowing bubbles. His parents abandoned him on Christmas Eve, leaving an explanatory note and an antique bubble making machine (a "1961 Electro-bubble"), which for a time Bubbles used to entertain his cats. Sadly, the machine was destroyed into a tangled lump of metal when his shed caught fire (the result of a poor wiring job by Ricky, Cory, and Trevor, who were trying to use it as a temporary home for Ricky's grow-op). After being abandoned by his parents, Bubbles was raised by Julian's foster parents for his own safety due to his parents being hunted down for his father's gambling debts, fighting, and shooting his mouth off down at the Legion. Bubbles moved into a van owned by J-Roc, and paid $12 a month rent. A new shed, outfitted with a TV, video games, satellite hookup, and furniture, was later purchased for Bubbles by Julian with some of his drug money after he got out of a three-month jail sentence. He apparently had another shed (a wooden one that let rain in on Trailer Park Boys: The Movie), which Lahey destroyed, but he constructed a new one with the help of Julian. This incident seemed to take place between the third and sixth seasons.

Bubbles' evil alter-ego is a ventriloquist dummy named Conky, who he constructed in grade six. The pair bear a striking resemblance to each other. Every time Bubbles operated the puppet, it took over his mind and was very fond of insulting Julian and Ricky, especially the latter. They threw Conky into the swamp to protect Bubbles while the boys were drunk in grade 6, but years later, they crossed heads again when Bubbles, who had to see a doctor, insisted on taking the puppet with him. They soon caved in, rescued Conky, and Bubbles took the doll to the hospital. Conky tormented Julian by calling him Patrick Swayze which resulted in the puppet getting shot by Julian, effectively breaking the curse on Bubbles. Bubbles' favorite band is Rush; he was guitar tech for Alex Lifeson at a Rush concert. Bubbles loves professional wrestling and even dresses up as his own character, "The Green Bastard," from "parts unknown." (There is also an alcoholic drink named after this persona, made from Sour Puss, Vodka, and Butter Ripple Schnapps) In addition, he acted in two pornographic films, From Russia With The Love Bone and The Bare Pimp Project, both of which were directed by J-Roc. He also drives a go-cart (which Ricky bought for Bubbles using some of his drug money after he got out of jail) while wearing a Cooper hockey helmet, which he is good at doing (although he often crashes), and makes expert use of the word cocksucker. He also dressed as C-3PO Halloween 1977, which was the same night they got into trouble with Mr. Lahey for the first time. Bubbles has remarkable musical talent, most especially with the guitar, although he was also very skilled in singing off-the-cuff rap music at J-Roc's rap concert, keeping the crowd entertained until J-Roc himself returned to the stage. His guitar playing occasionally gets him into trouble-on one occasion when he got extremely drunk, he annoyed Officer George Green so much with his drunken guitar playing that he and Julian were hauled downtown to spend the night in the city drunk tank.

Bubbles has been said to be the moral centre of the group, in that he represents the purity and innocence that the other characters seem to lack. His perspectives are often rooted in the ideals of staying out of trouble, and helping the meek, illustrated by his love for kitties. In spite of sometimes appearing slightly mentally disabled to some people at first glance, he is really not that dim at all, "the sharpest guy in the park," as proclaimed by Ray, and often he is the very first to really understand what is going on. Bubbles is in fact extremely intelligent and intellectual, reading and quoting Plato and Socrates, as he mentions in one of his raps. He feels very remorseful when Ricky (falsely) tells Bubbles that it was Bubbles who accidentally burned down Ricky's dad's trailer after leaving a pot of French Fries frying too long, and so raids the town dump to get his friend new stuff, as an apology (when in fact, it was Ricky who burned down the trailer with the pot of fries). Surprisingly, whenever the cops swoop into the trailer park to bust one of the boys' operations, Bubbles usually manages to avoid getting busted or nailed by the police in most of the show, with even Randy vouching for him at one point, at least until he was caught at the end of Season Four by Officer George Green in the episode "Working Man".

Bubbles' birthday is sometime in July, in 1972, placing him at 34 years old as of 2006.

[edit] Jim Lahey

Jim Lahey (played by John Dunsworth) — A scatalogical and deranged trailer park supervisor and former police officer, who was wrongfully dismissed as a result of a prank by Julian, Ricky, and Bubbles on Halloween 1977. They were starting out in grade school, when Julian or Bubbles decided to push his cop car into a trailer. Then-Officer Lahey chased them to confiscate Julian's liquor (Julian drank from an early age), spilled it all over himself, and he attempted to get the car unstuck. George Green, his partner on the force back then, confronted him and assumed he was drunk, and the more he protested, the more drunk and crazy Lahey looked to everyone. He was hauled down to the station for public drunkeness and given the choice of resigning and saving himself of charges or refusing and being charged. With no options, Lahey resigned from his job as a police officer.

He was perpetually drunk throughout the first five seasons of the show, though he fooled many people that he was clean for the first half of season 5 by drinking straight vodka out of a water bottle. In season 6, he quit drinking and switched to dope, thanks to Ricky. Mr. Lahey ran Sunnyvale Trailer Park at the behest of his ex-wife, the owner of the Park. He is rarely seen without Randy and the two have had a sexual relationship together as revealed to Julian in Season 1 and the rest of the park in season 3. He keeps trying to catch Julian and Ricky at their illegal activities but is fairly ineffective. He has a tendency to use bizarre, rambling extended metaphors involving the word "shit". Often, he can "hear" strange supernatural events coming to the park such as "The Winds Of Shit," (meaning trouble brewing), "Shit Hawks," "The Shit Blizzard," and bails out Cyrus and his goons (Terry and Dennis) as "Shit Puppets" to fight the boys in his "little shit play." Bubbles, being gullible, is the only one who actually believes Lahey's bizarre ramblings and threats to be true.

At the end of season four, he snapped and tried to kill Ricky in front of everyone, but he was coaxed into giving up by Randy, who admitted his love for him, since they had split up. While the boys spent two months in jail for violating the Motor Vehicle Act, such as Bubbles having a fake license, Lahey spent a month in a mental hospital, where he became (allegedly) sober and returned home to Randy. On the Season 6 finale, he asks Randy to be his character witness at the police board, under the condition that Randy receive tapes of the boys committing crimes, so Randy can personally bust them. However, Randy refuses to be involved in the matter. Lahey instead goes to Bubbles, who agrees under the condition that if Lahey becomes a cop, he won't bust the boys for anything. Lahey agrees and, with the help of Bubbles, is reinstated as a cop. His birthday is September 11, 1952, which places him at 54.

Lahey often tries to expose Ricky and Julian's latest schemes by calling in his old police coworkers when he thinks they'll be caught in the act, but this frequently backfires and makes him look even worse in their eyes, usually getting himself (and Randy) in trouble. He has the special skill as a drunk to do what he refers to as the "wrap-around." This is when he takes a bottle of liquor and swings it around the back of his head and into his mouth. When others accuse him of being intoxicated he will often claim that he's only had two drinks that day, even when he's so drunk he can barely get the words out of his mouth.

[edit] Randy

Randy A.K.A Randy Bobandy, Smokey, or any number of insulting nicknames, (played by Patrick Roach) is Mr. Lahey's devoted assistant trailer park supervisor and "longtime companion." In the Christmas Special episode, it is explained that their "partnership" began when Lahey's then-wife, Barbara, found Randy working as a male prostitute in 1997, and, out of her Christian charity, invited him to stay with them for a while. The rest of the park ridicules him for his enormous gut, which they attribute to his allegedly insatiable hunger for cheeseburgers. (Ironically, he is never seen actually eating them.) Randy never wears a shirt, except for once in season 2 (Never Trust a Man With No Shirt On), when he used a shirt to cover a microphone wire in an attempt to catch Ricky and Julian doing something illegal, once in season 4 (The Green Bastard), when Mr. Lahey was receiving the "Trailer Park Supervisor of the Year" award (and in the Trailer Park Boys Movie 1, in which Pat Roach plays Patrick, an alcoholic not from the Sunnyvale, the trailer park) who owns a dog named Caesar that regularly defecates on neighbours lawns. Due to this, the neighbours pitch in money to give to Ricky and Julian to eliminate the dog). Throughout season 6 he is required to wear a shirt at all times, if he rides along in police vehicles, brought on by Ted Johnson, at one point a cop and at one point a detective. Randy was the one who insisted on coming out to the rest of the park after he and Mr. Lahey are caught in a compromising situation in Lahey's trailer. He went out with Lucy for a short while during Ricky's six-month stay in prison between seasons 1 and 2.

Randy was once a male prostitute who went by the handle "Smokey," before becoming assistant trailer park supervisor. It is established that Randy knew Mr. Lahey during this period of his life and refers to him as "Simon" (apparently a pseudonym from a previous "business relationship" with Randy) when they are first formally introduced. He will sometimes fall back on this job whenever he doesn't have any money for cheeseburgers. Smokey can be found in front of the King of Donair, or Dairy Queen, where he prostitutes himself for either cheeseburgers, fries, or dairy queen coupons. His history with the boys is somewhat unclear, in the first episode, Ricky meets him for the first time with "Who are you?" Lucy later mentions that he's been assistant trailer park supervisor for the past twelve years, although it should be noted we cannot rely on their mental intelligence. In the Christmas special, Bubbles mentions that they used to play toy cars with him when they were younger, until Ricky stuck his cars in a jar of peanut butter and left them out in the sun. However, if looking at his age (seen below), he would have to have been six or seven years older than the boys when they were kids. After high school graduation, he went onto community college and worked in construction as an crane operator down in Florida, before becoming Smokey.

It seems he has the most physical prowess of anyone in the park. He frequently shoves people when he is trying to get his way. When a real fight seems to be on its way, Randy takes off his pants for fear of ripping them because of how tight they are on him. In season 4 he beats up Cyrus (pantless) when no one else is willing to fight him and in season 6 when he is evicting J-Roc all he needs to do is un-buckle his belt to scare J-Roc into leaving. He's been busted three times in the series history; once when he got in a tussle with the police and spent a night in the drunk tank, another in the episode Working Man when he asked the police to take him away with Lahey to a mental hospital for the next month, where he helped his friend and partner get off alcohol, and when he got blamed for stealing an ATM machine.

The Bottle Kids often target him in their raids against the boys, probably due to his fatness or his stupidity. J-Roc is usually an instigator of his wrath, calling him names like Porkzilla, Gut Cassidy and the Sundance Cheeseburger, Inflatable Elvis, Starsky and Gut, etc.

Randy mentioned in an episode of Season Six that he is 42 years old, which places his birthday somewhere in 1964.

[edit] Recurring characters

[edit] Lucy

Lucy (played by Lucy DeCoutere) — Ricky's on-again, off-again demanding girlfriend and mother to his child, Trinity. Lucy and Julian had a relationship after high school, which Julian clearly wants to forget, but Lucy still expresses feelings for him from time to time. Gets a boob job in Season 5, which Ricky does not notice at first. After Trinity was once caught and charged with driving underage, Lucy (while drunk) tried to seduce the officers into letting her go, and she ended up hauled off to the drunk tank for the night.

[edit] Sarah

Sarah (played by Sarah E. Dunsworth) — Lucy's best friend. She moved in with Lucy and Trinity while Ricky was in prison at the beginning of season 1. She dated Ricky for a while and encouraged him to focus on school, and he achieved his Grade Ten education in The Bare Pimp Project. However, this relationship didn't last long. As soon as Ricky got rich, she was instrumental in getting Lucy to file a child support suit against Ricky, which was dropped when Ricky used a portion of his dope profits for Trinity's education fund. In seasons 4 and 5, she dated both Cory & Trevor (as one entity) and they asked her to marry both of them. She ran a hair salon with Lucy in the park, however as of season 6 she helps Corey and Trevor in the running of their corner store on the park. Out of all the boys, the only one she really likes and respects is Bubbles, because he is nowhere as cruel or using of Cory and Trevor as Ricky and Julian. In the first season, Sarah was mainly used for commentary and to inform the audience about the other characters on the show, although starting in Season 2 she began to play a larger role by dating Ricky when Lucy was dating Randy. Sarah is also the real life daughter of John Dunsworth (Lahey).

[edit] J-Roc

J-Roc (played by Jonathan Torrens) — A rapper who lives with his overbearing mother at the trailer park. Often mistaken as an Eminem wanna-be. He speaks in ebonics and very frequently uses the phrase "Know what I'm saying?" (pronounced "Gnome Sayin") and "Why you all up in my eyes? I ain't got no candy for you." And tends to refer to himself as, "J-to-the-R-O-C." He often helps Ricky and Julian out in their money-making schemes. Also, he and his crew; The Roc Pile, (comprised of only DVS and Tyrone in the latest seasons when in the earlier ones there were more members and a few were white, and DVS is regularly referred to as 'DVD' by Lahey and Ricky) occasionally make forays into the amateur international porn market (his titles to date are the low-budget movies, "From Russia With the Love Bone", "The Bare Pimp Project" and "J-Roc's Greasy Trailer Park Girls Gone Wild"). Despite claiming to be "hard as fuck", he and his Roc Pile members don't get involved in gunfights. Usually they quickly duck out whenever they look like they may get involved (despite using guns as props in stage shows and music videos). He claims, "We ain't about killing, we about chilling." His real name is Jamie.

One of J-Roc's major roles in the show is to act as Ricky and Julian's fence, reselling their stolen goods. He also supplies them with the equipment they need for their various schemes, such as the hydroponics gear and seedlings needed to start a marijuana grow-op, illegal vodka for Julian's bootlegging operations, and the magic mushrooms needed to drug Sam Losco so he would sound confused on stage and lose the election for Trailer Park Supervisor to Mr. Lahey.

In the episode Who's the Microphone Assassin? viewers are reminded that J-Roc, and even people around him, forget that he's white. In the same episode, J-Roc was caught masturbating, ending in an on-stage rap entitled 'it could happen to you, 'cos it happened to me'. In Dear Santa Claus. Go Fuck Yourself, which takes place in 1997 two years before the series began, J-Roc is one of the nerds and speaks very plainly and professes that he had never smoked marijuana up to that point in time.

J-Roc regularly exhibits a talent for creating nicknames: for Randy, the list includes: "Rico Suavé looking mafucker", "Roch Voisine with a gut", "Randy Bobandy", "Inflatable Elvis", "Gut Cassidy and the Sundance Cheeseburger", "Cheesburger Depot", "Rocky and Bullmafucker", and "Starsky and Gut" (both Lahey & Randy). He is also the soon to be father of two children and has claimed he will step out of the rap game as of the newest season. He refers to the two mothers as his "babies' mamas". It is unknown if this will inhibit his involvement in the show in any way as the sixth season approaches.

In the Season Three episode Who's the Microphone Assassin? J-Roc is said to be 22 years old, placing his birthdate around 1981.

[edit] Cory and Trevor

Cory and Trevor (played by Cory Bowles and Michael Jackson) — Trevor and Cory are two rather stupid young adults who are often used as lackeys by Ricky and Julian, but it's rarely worth the effort because they have a tendency to screw up everything. Invariably, the pair are used by Ricky as scapegoats whenever something illegal doesn't go according to plan. Julian manages them with dog training techniques. Trevor is constantly being harassed for cigarettes and chips by Ricky, who snaps his fingers and says "Smokes - Let's go!". He is also very weak and foolish, as in one episode, he gets beat up by a farm lady and he does not even defend himself when needed. Everyone treats them as a single person - one entity. When the boys run an illegal gas station, they are sent to siphon gas from other cars and end up with gasoline in their systems. They are later sentenced to 450 hours of community service by the court after the others pin the blame of them, and due to their being hooked up to oxygen tanks, they are in no position to argue or defend themselves. In the episode Working Man (Season 4, Episode 8), Sara agrees to marry them both, after they propose to her. Cory and Trevor share several traits with Rosencrantz and Guildenstern of William Shakespeare's Hamlet, given the pair's few distinguishing characteristics as well as their roles as (rarely successful) lapdogs of Ricky and Julian. (These two characters are not going to be in Season 7 due to Cory Bowles and Michael Jackson's decisions to leave the show after Season 6)

[edit] Others

• Ray (played by Barrie Dunn) — Ricky's father who enjoys drinking alcohol, listening to blues music, stealing Ricky's pepperoni and reading the Bible. Ray is a deeply devout Calvinist, and is also addicted to video lottery terminals. He constantly steals his son's pepperoni. For the purposes of claiming disability benefit, he spends most of his time in a wheelchair, often times referring to himself as "the guy in the chair," although he is not disabled and will stand and walk around normally when he believes no-one is watching. Interestingly enough, his wheelchair has three flags on it, a Jolly Roger flag, a Canadian Flag and a Confederate flag. Ray was sent to jail for disability fraud for six months after Lahey and Randy called the authorities, who in turn contacted the Police. Ray used to be a truck driver. After being evicted by Barb and Randy, Ray was forced to live at the nearby garbage dump inside of his truck's old cab where he did not have to pay lot fees. At the time of his eviction he was stealing cable from the other trailers and littering the park with his urine-filled milk jugs ("piss jugs") from his old cab into nearby trees and onto the roofs of houses. Currently, thanks to Bubbles and Lahey, Ray has been instated as the Assistant Trailer Park Supervisor. Ray has an extreme fondness for liquor, and this is proven by his willingness to do anything for liquor, such as take part in one of J-Roc's greasy porn films, in which he drinks a whole quart of Johnny Walker black label and passes out in his wheelchair.

• Sam Losco AKA Sam Lasco (played by Sam Tarasco) — a former veterinarian who lost his medical license after helping Ricky fix a bullet wound, as veterinarians are not supposed to operate on humans. He later ran for Trailer Park Supervisor but lost to Jim Lahey after Julian slipped hallucinogenic mushrooms into his food prior to his speech to the residents of the park. After Julian ruined his potential marriage to Barb Lahey, he tried to shoot Julian, only to get busted for illegal gun possession. Then he got his veterinary license back (on probation) and started up his practice again. Bubbles often goes to him to inspect his cats' health. He has a mild demeanor, but he is not particularly fond of Ricky or Julian, as they are responsible for most of his problems. His favourite food seems to be greasy hot dogs and has been called a "caveman" by Ricky, Julian, and most recently Randy. In season 6, Sam had a new job at a paving company, but after a prank call by Ricky, loses the job. He places the blame on Randy, who he believes had made the call, and temporarily took Randy hostage in an attempt to trade him for money to pay off the fines he had received. Ricky often refers to him as a "greaseball bastard."

• Tyrone (played by Tyrone Parsons) — J-Roc's sidekick and together the duo have been involved in many gangster like activities. The latest scheme was that he was part of a parcel-pickup theft scam in the trailer park. His real name is Tyler, but prefers to be called "T". In Dear Santa Claus. Go Fuck Yourself, which takes place in 1997, Tyrone speaks very plainly and professes that he had never smoked marijuana up to that point in time. Claims the reason he and J-Roc gangsta-rap is because the trailer park life, "is real gansta out here."

• Detroit Velvet Smooth (DVS) (played by Gary "Papa Grand" James) — Tyrone and DVS are J-Roc's managers. Tyrone is part of the original cast, while DVS was introduced in the episode Who's the Microphone Assassin?. In that episode, DVS found out from Mr. Lahey about how J-Roc was pirating his songs, and proceeded to crash his rap concert at the trailer park and threatened him. He later had a change of heart when the park residents told him about J-Roc, and since then DVS and Tyrone together manage J-Roc's career. It was Tyrone and DVS who came up with the idea of having J-Roc pretend to go to jail to increase his street cred. Ricky often calls DVS "DVD" (and when Lahey writes the names of the people he wants to send to jail on alcohol bottles, he has one labeled DVD). He does not hail from Detroit, as his name would imply, but rather from Moncton, New Brunswick.

• Officer George Green (played by George Green) — the local police officer most often dispatched to deal with Ricky and Julian. He is easily fooled by the pair and it is very rare that he makes a successful police raid and hustles somebody off to jail. In season 6, he was caught in Lucy's trailer by Ricky, handcuffed to her shower almost naked, apparently during sex. It was revealed in the Halloween episode that he was Lahey's partner back in the 1970s, and he was the one who caught Lahey, after a fight with the boys, with liquor all over him, forcing him to resign from the force. The reason George Green is so easily fooled by the boys is not because of any stupidity on his part. Instead, because of his past history with Lahey, he has a very hard time believing anything Lahey says, and a very easy time believing that Lahey is the source of a problem, as Ricky and Julian claimed.

• Bottle Kids - a gang of pre-teens that show up about every second episode with a shopping cart full of glass bottles and bombard one or more of the principal characters from a distance, and then run away. Randy is a frequent target, perhaps due to his fatness or his stupidity, and he mostly bears the strain of their attacks. The minute anyone shouts "Bottle Kids!", everyone ducks. In the fifth season Trinity was seen as one of the bottle kids. She took a large number of liquor bottles Ray had stored in Bubbles' tool shed, much to Ray's anger. Exactly why they do what they do is unknown, perhaps out of boredom for lack of entertainment or playground in the park.

• Cyrus (played by Bernard Robichaud) — bully who enjoys waving his gun around, a Beretta 92, and terrorizing the residents of the trailer park. Ruled over the park while Julian and Ricky were in jail for three months at the start of Season One, becoming their nemesis, and has showed up several times since. He is still trying to get his Grade 10, the last time of which Ricky caused him to fail. The tuned in fan will notice that Cyrus always has the same song playing in his car whenever he shows up at a scene. Cyrus ends every conversation (or confrontation) with other characters with the same line: "Fuck off, I got work to do". He drives a red 1978 Corvette, and he takes great care in keeping it in pristine condition. Later in the series, thanks to Lahey, he gets bailed out of jail with Terry and Dennis, two brother dealers screwed over by Ricky, to kill the boys. After a tense shootout at the park, he and his goons are sent back to jail, and in season six, Bubbles mentions they are serving twenty years for possessing illegal guns and for attempted murder. However, it has been confirmed that Cyrus will be the main antagonist of Season Seven, airing in 2007.

• Trinity (played by Jeanna Harrison) — generally assumed to be Ricky's daughter; however, there are a few suggestions that Julian may, in fact, be the father. Supporting evidence includes numerous accounts of Lucy requesting more personal time with Trinity from Julian, and several suggestions that the past relationship between Julian and Lucy when they were in high school and a drunken night after a party may have been more than one would first assume. There is not any definitive proof verifying either possibility, be the father Julian or Ricky, though the show portrays Ricky as the acting father figure in Trinity's life.

"Trin" has an addiction to cigarettes and sometimes gets drunk, which usually ends up with Lucy being angry at Ricky. She has eaten weed brownies made by Ricky (unbeknownst to him) in the episode "Mrs. Peterson's Dog Gets Fucked Up", with her exclaiming, "These brownies taste funny." In the same episode, she shoots Ricky in the ass with a gun he left lying around. She has occasionally been cast as a participant with the Bottle Kids.

She was recast in Trailer Park Boys: The Movie with Lydia Dawson-Baird. The reason for the change according to director Mike Clattenburg was that Harrison looked too old to play Trinity at a younger age, given the film takes place in between the third and sixth seasons.

• Treena Lahey (played by Ellen Page) — Jim and Barbara's daughter. She hero-worships Ricky, and is good friends with Bubbles and Julian, much to the chagrin of her father. She appears only in season 2.

• Barbara Lahey (played by Shelley Thompson) — the owner of Sunnyvale Trailer Park. She was married to Jim until she divorced him due to his homosexual relationship with Randy and his drinking problem. Despite being at odds with Lahey, Barb is on friendly terms with Randy, despite the fact that he is Lahey's new love interest. In the Christmas Special, it was discovered that she found Randy (not knowing he had an affair with her husband) working as a male prostitute and brought him home with her. She was briefly engaged to Sam Losco in Season 2 until Julian & J-Roc showed her "The Bare Pimp Project", a low-budget adult film that Sam appeared in. Towards the end of Season 4, she proposed to Ricky until he went back to prison for two months on dope charges. Thompson, who plays Barbara, first appeared as the officiant of Ricky and Lucy's short-yet-aborted wedding at the end of Season 1.

• Terry and Dennis (played by Mio and Nobu Adilman) — a pair of Japanese-Canadian brothers who use their grandmother's house as a cover to deal hash. The brothers debuted in the episode Give Peace a Chance in season five. Ricky knows them well since their childhood days, but they are not well-liked by Julian and Bubbles. The brothers like to walk around the house wearing only their bathrobes while not covering their private parts. Bubbles labels them with many identities like "the flappy bird brothers" They get sent to jail with Cyrus for illegal gun-possession, but later, they are bailed out of jail and try to kill Ricky and the boys. After a gunfight, they are sent back to jail for attempted murder, and they are currently serving twenty years for their sentence.

• Levi (played by Ardon Bess) — a friend of Julian, and Ricky. He is Desiree's husband. Levi and Desiree are Julian's foster parents, who raised Julian after they found him abandoned in the trailer park.

• Desiree (played by Sandi Ross) — Levi's Wife.

• Candy — Julian's girlfriend at one point in the series.

• Erica Miller (played by Shauna MacDonald, who is now famous for being the CBC's "promo girl.") — a police officer who fell for Julian, hoping that he'd leave his current life behind. She later realized that he'd never change and arrests him.

• Jacob (played by Jacob Rolfe) — works at a convenience store and other hapless jobs where he is often robbed by Corey and Trevor or Ricky. He is said to have a major role in the upcoming seventh season.

• Mrs. Peterson — an elderly park resident who mistakenly believes Julian is her grandson. Appears in the episode "Mrs. Peterson's Dog Gets Fucked Up" in which Julian and Ricky take care of her dog. She gives Julian a N.W.A. CD as a birthday gift.

• Detective/Officer Ted Johnson (played by Jim Swansburg) — the detective officer who arrested Ricky at his wedding (season one). He returns in season five as George Green's replacement, and in season six as an officer along with George Green. There is no indication as to why he went down in rank from detective to ordinary officer. He has recently been romantically linked to Randy after running up a large tab on cheeseburgers.

• Danny/Donnie (voiced by Mike Smith) — the character who occasionally screams loudly but who is always depicted as being off-camera. He typically yells "What in the fuck?!" but has also said things like, "10 fucking dollars a month!" and "Enough with the fucking guns!" as well as, "Stop Fuckin Shooting!" and, "Don't Stop Fucking shooting on my account". In the Christmas Special, when the cop asks the people of the park, "Does anyone want to tell me were they got there trees?" Donnie shouts, "I don't know, does any one want to suck my cock?". He was seen from behind in the episode where the boys start a massage parlor. When Julian orders Cory and Trevor to handle the customers, Donnie is heard to scream "Get your fuckin' hands off me! I paid for a lady, not fucking Cory and Trevor!" This implies that Donnie was one of the two men.

• Phil Collins (played by Richard Collins) — known for his huge stomach, Phil does many cameos on the show as a greasy motel owner, taxi driver and Lahey's paving assistant. Famous Phrase: "What ya lookin' at my gut fer?" Has been known to belch when hit in the gut with bottles. Also, seems to have a fancy for the 2 for 1 down at the K.O.D. He and Randy share a genuine friendship, probably due to the fact they both like cheeseburgers and have huge guts. Also, Phil has made a recent appearance during Season 6, as a taxi driver, in the episode "Gimme My Fuckin' Money or Randy's Dead" he served as a blocking shield for Ricky, or as Ricky called him "A human house". It has been rumoured that in the upcoming season, Phil will be married to a girl named Pat Beatty, both who have guts.

• Gary — security guard at the mall. Catches Ricky and Julian stealing car stereos in season 2 but they manage to talk their way out of it. In Season 5 he gives Bubbles a hard time for stealing shopping carts and was very mean to him, which hurt Bubbles' feelings and made him cry. Julian goes down the mall later to straighten him out and give Bubbles all the carts he wants.

• Bernie Sandford — president of the International Association of Trailer Parks, Trailer Park Supervisors, and Assistant Trailer Park Supervisors (IAOTPTPSATPS). Bernie has an assistant Jason, who is kind of a servant to Mr.Sandford, getting him drinks on command and what not. When Mr.Sandford finds out about Ricky in the Episode The Green Bastard he introduces Ricky to his alter ego The Right Hook and tells Rick "That when the right hook comes out, Crazy Mutha' Fucka's Like you get knocked the fuck out."

• Shitty Bill — local tow truck operator and hippie. Friend of Bubbles from cart salvaging. He tried to fart but ended up shitting his pants when he was a kid, hence the reason for his nickname. Bubbles makes the point for Ricky not to call him by his nickname "Shitty Bill" but in the next scene, Bubbles clearly acts to the contrary -- often referring to him simply as "Shitty."
