Brodie Bruce

Brodie Bruce, is an unemployed, comic-book-obsessed, Sega-playing slacker, living with his mom and lacking the motivation and maturity appropriate to his age.
His girlfriend Rene breaks up with him at the beginning of Mallrats and gives him a letter explaining all the reasons for doing so. At the end of the film they are back together, and it is mentioned that he went on to host The Tonight Show; with Rene being his band leader and being liked by his mother (who he was originally too frightened to introduce to her).

He makes a small appearance in Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back where he now owns his own comic book store called "Brodie's Secret Stash". It is believed that he got the money to open the store as a result of his time on The Tonight Show, as is evidenced by the Variety cover in his store that reads "Brodie Bolts".
