Rudy Davis is a member of the Junkyard Gang. In the Junkyard Band, he plays the banjo (made from a broomstick handle and sewing-thread spool), though at times he plays a real electric guitar, customized with the letter R. He is Dumb Donald's best friend and is heavily implied to have feelings for him. Coincidentally, he also shares a first name with Rudy Huxtable, a character in another one of Bill Cosby's works, The Cosby Show. However, the Rudy in The Cosby Show is a female.

Personality

Rudy's a cocky smooth-talking huckster who likes to play jokes and tricks. He also called Fat Albert a mistake once, which is pretty damn uncool. Rudy also often makes fun of the rest of the gang, and sometimes acts superior to the others, but inside has a good heart and learns from his mistakes.

In the film, Rudy's personality is very different and now acts like a well-mannered, kind-hearted gentleman. This may be either due to a culmination of his character development over the course of the series, however the more likely theory is because Dumb Donald inherited his negative traits when he learned he was a Nobody.

Appearance

Rudy is a skinny African-american teenager.

He wears an orange flat cap, a pink turtleneck, a red vest, purple bell-bottom jeans, and red boots.

In the film, his appearance is mostly unchanged, apart from his boots now being purple.

He looks like that 80's wrestling manager Slick.
