Rudy Wade
(opens in new tab)
Misfits had its share of doubters that it could weather the departure of lead cutie Nathan Young. But that was before Joseph Gilgun was able to strut his stuff as new misfit Rudy Wade.
We already knew Gilgun had form from Shane Meadows’ sublime This Is England , but nothing prepared us for how great Rudy would be and what a shot in the arm he was for the three-year-old series.
Splitting himself into two means that Rudy can be either so gross and thuddingly sexual that he’d shame the Inbetweeners boys or so sweet that you could take him home and show him off to Grandma. Even if he might burst into tears if you she forgot his name.
“You’d think that it’d be a total ball-ache,” Gilgun told The Guardian recently. “What with being new and stuff and Rob doing such a good job. And it has been frightening, of course it has. But I’m right bloody proud of myself.”
What should he do next? There was must be some Crude Rudy/Emotional Rudy slashfic already out there. And if there isn’t, the series has got to go there… Hasn’t it?
