Character biography
Ricky is a fun-loving, dim-witted slacker who enjoys marijuana, Jalapeño Potato Chips, pepperoni, chicken chips, licorice, cigarettes, ravioli, chicken fingers, fish sticks, and alcoholic beverages. He is also a fast-talking schemer. His daughter Trinity is a kleptomaniac and his ex-girlfriend, Lucy, is a stripper. He and Julian have been best friends since they were kids.
In the 1999 original black-and-white Trailer Park Boys movie, Ricky used cocaine with his friend Julian, which he references in the first episode of season one: as he is getting out of prison, he tells the camera crew Julian hired that "[Julian]'s the one force-feeding me drugs and every other goddamn thing. ..." Ricky and Julian have been best friends since childhood and are almost codependent, with Ricky relying on his friend to guide him and keep his antics in check. While good-natured towards his friends and family, Ricky is also selfish, foul-mouthed, volatile, and aggressive, and almost always manages to anger, offend, and alienate those around him. He has always been a troublemaker and often refuses to take responsibility for his actions, illegal or otherwise.
