Confidence is the main antagonist from the Red Dwarf episode Confidence and Paranoia.

He is portrayed by Craig Ferguson.

Description
Confidence is a self-confident, large man with slicked back hair and very white teeth. He wears colorful clothes and lots of jewelery. He speaks with an American accent and have a large appetite. Although he seems to be friendly and always encourages Lister, he is actually a cruel bastard. Also, although he is only a hallucination, he is solid and can even die like real people.

History
When Lister gets a mutated strain of pneumonia, all his hallucinations take physical form, including his Confidence and Paranoia. They both get into a solid form and immediately settle in the Red Dwarf. When Confidence sees Lister, he immediately begins to praise him, calling him "the king" and growing his self-confidence. He also tells Lister not to listen to Paranoia who defames Lister badly.

Lister quickly befriends with his Confidence and begins to trust him totally. Confidence glories Lister's poor song and takes his cigarette butt as evidence that he had met Lister, "The duke of deliciousness". Under his influence, Lister refuses Rimmer's legitimate concerns and believes he isn't sick anymore. Confidence then increases Lister's intelligence to the point where he can figure out the location of the hidden hologram personality discs.

Meanwhile, Confidence decides to make sure Rimmer won't heal Lister's pneumonia and he sabotages the Medicomp.
