In Wes Anderson's premier film, Bottle Rocket, the character of Bob played by Robert Musgrave is a hapless rich kid, whose friendship with Owen Wilson's Dignan and Luke Wilson's Anthony leads him into shenanigans. Bob is a supporting character, but essential to the plot, as he is ultimately the guy who gets the most hosed by the inane caper Dignan leads them into. Bob has an older brother, who ridicules him relentlessly, even though they are well into their late twenties and maybe early thirties in the film. This brother, played to jack-ass perfection by Andrew Wilson, is named...Future Man.
The "drummer" for Bela Fleck is named Future Man, too. What a strange coincidence. Bottle Rocket's Future Man is an irate turd who thinks he's above childish enthusiasm, while Bela Fleck's Future Man is a pirate nerd who thinks he's above playing actual drums.
Definitely check it out, if you haven't. Bottle Rocket. Not Bela Fleck
. (Victor Wooten on bass is amazing though, I'll concede...)
I like bela fleck. Prog-banjo-rock. And yes victor wooten rocks
