Jamie Rots

Jamie Rots is a fictional character played by Tanner Leudy in the 2018 film, Grim and the 2017 short, Turd & Jamie.

Jamie is the brother of Jimmy Rots and a friend of Gordie, while also closely associated with Turd.

Jamie claims to be a musician, citing himself as lead vocalist for a band with his brother called "Puss" despite the fact that they do not own any instruments.

Development and Casting
The character of Jamie was created by Fritz Bishop in his initial draft of a script for Grim, conceived as a crude, obnoxious, and perverted counterpart to his sensitive and artistic brother, Jimmy. The development of Jimmy would lead to the character being more short tempered and aggressive than originally conceived.

The character was specifically written for Tanner based on an impression of an ill-mannered redneck which he would perform for Fritz while they were working together as bartenders.

The hat which Jamie wears reads "Cape Breton Dairyman" while his shirt was handmade as merchandise for the band "Hot Dog Kids", both articles or clothing were previously owned and chosen by Tanner.

Much of the character's dialogue was improvised and mannerisms were created by actor, Tanner Leudy.
