William Thacker
Typical romance- especially romantic comedy- character. Blustering, flustered, nevertheless charming, seemingly hopelessly in love with a woman who is socially his superior, but gets her in the end. Recently divorced, his wife left him for a man who ‘looks exactly like Harrison Ford’. Owns a bookshop with a meagre life and a group of friends who have competitions about who is the most ‘pathetic’. He is good looking, about 30, with brown hair, average height and build- played by Hugh Grant who is an iconic romance actor, especially Richard Curtis films. He has a sister- Honey, who is also in the film and ends up marrying his flatmate- Spike, who Thacker describes as the stupidest person in the world. Star struck throughout, Thacker stumbles through their courtship.
