How The Last Boy Scout wrote memorable side characters.

from Story Stripdown · host Drew Pan

Ah, the 90s! When movies were obnoxiously loud and cynical... but also full of character! What The Last Boy Scout does better that most other action movies is to infuse supporting bad guys with enough character that they stick around in your memory, even if they only appear in the one scene! From Scrabble Man to Chet, the "Touch me again and I'll kill ya" guy, find out how you can also make your own supporting characters more memorable.
