Character Role Analysis

Terry Wickett/Dr. Holabird

Terry and Dr. Holabird, Martin's colleagues at the McGurk Institute, are like night and day. Terry is super rude and tough to like, but he's dedicated to science in the same way Martin and Max Gottlieb are.

Dr. Holabird, on the other hand, is very polite and pleasant, but he's also a company yes-man who wouldn't know true science if it slapped him in the face. It shouldn't be surprising that Terry doesn't like Holabird very much. In fact, the dude picks up and leaves McGurk not long after Holabird is named the new director.
