Who are some of your favorite best friend type characters on the Big Screen?
Just a couple of mine would have to be:
Trent Walker (Vince Vaughn) in Swingers. I actually knew a guy like this in high school and we were very close. The kind that would kick you in the butt when you needed it and shill out advice on women.
Cameron Frye (Alan Ruck) from Ferris Bueller's Day Off. I related to this character a lot when I was growing up. Major issues with his father, but will support his best friend no matter what.
