Characters
In his book Monty Python: The Case Against Irreverence, Scurrility, Profanity, Vilification, and Licentious Abuse, Robert Hewison describes the dwarfs as a comment on the Monty Python troupe. The nice one, Fidgit, as Palin; the self-appointed leader, Randall, as Cleese; the acerbic one, Strutter, as Eric Idle; the quiet one, Og, as Graham Chapman; the noisy rebel, Wally, as Terry Jones; and the nasty, filth-loving one, Vermin, as Gilliam himself.

Famous quotes containing the word characters:

“A criminal trial is like a Russian novel: it starts with exasperating slowness as the characters are introduced to a jury, then there are complications in the form of minor witnesses, the protagonist finally appears and contradictions arise to produce drama, and finally as both jury and spectators grow weary and confused the pace quickens, reaching its climax in passionate final argument.”
—Clifford Irving (b. 1930)
