| ~ Doug Judy |
Doug Judy, also known as "The Pontiac Bandit," is a supporting character in the comedy series Brookyn Nine-Nine.
He was a famous car thief known as "The Pontiac Bandit", due to his signature act of stealing Pontiacs, as well as Jake Peralta's arch-nemesis, although the two of them were shown to be vastly similar in personality and antics. However, in spite of this, he deep down had a good side and, after helping Jake with a major case involving the former's adopted brother, he reforms himself and becomes an informant for the 99th Precinct and one of Jake's best and closest friends.
In general, Doug served as a major antagonist and anti-hero for the first three seasons before he redeems himself in fourth season and becomes a supporting protagonist in the later seasons.
He was portrayed by Craig Robinson, who also portrayed Matheson in Pineapple Express, President Jackson in the "Threat Level Midnight" movie in The Office (US), Earl Gundy in Rapture-Palooza and Mr. Shark in The Bad Guys.
Personality[]
Doug is an upbeat, laid-back, clever, and polite con artist and thief who has managed to steal over hundreds of cars and fool others through his trickery, posing as a civilian or helping out in certain situations with other criminals, only to backstab those he worked with - mostly Jake Peralta - once things worked out. He's also into pop culture and tends to be at times, rather immature and over-the-top, sense of humor. While starting out as archenemies at first and their complicated confrontations, Doug starts to see Jake as his best friend and has great chemistry throughout their past interactions, although he wasn't above using him for his own ends and backstabbing him no less. In the end, when trouble comes directly at harm's way onto Jake, Doug would go out his way to save his life on few occasions.
He seems to have a affectionate crush on Rosa Diaz, singing out her name and constantly flirting with her despite her stoic remarks at him. Doug also greatly cares about his family with no boundaries, proving to be a loving son to his mother and doesn't want her to know about his criminal life, and a protective brother to Trudy Judy, who he wishes she'd took a different path in the life he had and refuses to believe any sort of wrongdoing she was mostly capable of doing. While a car thief, Doug is shown to have moral standards as he dislikes drug dealing and doesn't trust hiring off from Craigslist.
