Peter Rucker

Peter Rucker (played by Stephen T. Kay) is the tritagonist of Deadly Games. He is Gus Lloyd's best friend since childhood.

Personality
Peter is much more easygoing and affable than Gus. Peter usually plays the everyman, contrasting with Gus's ivory-tower intellectualism. Although Peter lacks Gus's breadth of scientific knowledge, he often has a dogmatic insistence on his own correctness. He exemplifies this with his catchphrase: "Am I right or am I right? Don't gimme 'right' if I'm not right."

Although his friendship with Lauren is platonic, he tends to get along with her better than Gus.

Skills
Peter tends to be the most cunning and resourceful of the three main characters. He is an expert at pickpocketing, which he credits to coming from Queens.

Biography
Peter Rucker is a lifelong friend of Gus's. Peter originally came from Queens and moved to Los Angeles at some point in his childhood.

When Gus became a researcher, Peter joined him as an assistant. Like Gus, he gets paid by grant funding, but he does not appear to actually work for the university as an employer as Gus does.

When Gus's video game came to life, Peter usually acted in a support role at their workplace. He would review the VHS footage from Gus's game and help Gus and Lauren surmise plans of attack.
