Michael Comeau, (b. 1979), commonly referred to by just his surname Comeau, is a character who knows literally everyone. Including you! He first appears at one of Julie's parties in Scott Pilgrim's Precious Little Life. His character is based on the Toronto artist of the same name, as revealed in the bonus material at the end of Volume 4. Comeau is played by Nelson Franklin in the movie adaption, whose previous works include roles in The Office, The Funeral, and I Love You, Man.
History[]
Michael knows everyone and everything about them apparently, and is the first one to give Scott Pilgrim info on Ramona Flowers. Also, he claims to have obtained a ring from the future, and seeing how this is a universe where vegans have superpowers, a person's head can be used like warp pipes, and evil exes explode into coins, this may be true.
Scott Pilgrim vs. the World[]
Michael attended Julie Powers' party, telling Scott about Ramona but only states that she is American. Michael encourages Scott to go and ask Sandra & Monique to ask more about her.
He later appears at the Chaos Theatre talking to a bunch of people making an in-joke to the movie and books saying "I hear the comic books are better than the movie". That line was improvised and said by Franklin because author Bryan Lee O'Malley was visiting the set the day the scene was filmed.
Scott Pilgrim Takes Off[]
Michael appears in the eighth episode, "The World vs. Scott Pilgrim" as a cameo along with other characters in attendance of Scott Pilgrim's Precious Little Musical where he can be seen next to Lisa Miller applauding at the conclusion of the show.
Trivia[]
- In the books, he almost always has his mouth open and has a drink in his hand.
- Bryan Lee O'Malley based this character on his real life friend, when asked about this he says "It's complicated".
- He has a tattoo of an anchor on his left arm.
- The actual Michael Comeau auditioned for the part of himself in the movie yet failed to get the part.
- He is one of six time-travellers in the series: the other five are Future Scott Pilgrim, Future Ramona Flowers, Robot-01, and Kyle & Ken Katayanagi.
