| Name: Magnus
Buchan
Affiliations: Max Fischer Players
Played by: Stephen McCole
Quote: "Why don't you just piss off,
Fischer, you dotty wee skid mark?" (to which Max
replies, "Is that Latin?") |
"Lil'
Calloway... you're stickin' up for the wrong guy... Fischer
ain't your mate..."
Stephen McCole's agent sent his audition tape from Glasgow,
Scotland. He was immediately cast as Magnus Buchan, a
post-graduate foreign exchange student with half his ear missing.
He torments Max and others at the school for his own sadistic
pleasure. McCole describes his character as "a slightly
disturbed person."
