Character Analysis
(Avoiding Spoilers)
Overview… a college professor with a neurotic bent. Gabe is an intellectual New Yorker who obsesses over all of his little problems. Lately, Gabe and his wife Judy have been having a few issues – the breakup of their favorite couple, Jack and Sally, has put their own marriage under the microscope. Gabe’s eyes have been wandering a bit, especially to an insightful young student of his named Rain.
Personality…. bumbling, literary, and slightly flirtatious. Gabe likes to wax philosophical on aesthetic matters. He particularly enjoys playing the role of the wise old professor to his pretty young female students. “I will always have a penchant for what I call kamikaze women,” he explains. “I call them kamikazes because they, y’know, they crash their plane, they’re self-destructive. But they crash into you, and you die along with them.”
