Josh Dunford
Relatively handsome (like a 5.7 out of 10) and possessing the minimum modicum of acting talent, frankly, the less that's said about Josh Dunford the better.

In my restless dreams, I see him there. He stands upon a mountain of broken GameCube controllers, wielding Star Platinum in one hand, the last that works.

But what he truly is has yet to be shown. For he is a disciple of Shaq, teaching the art of Shaq Fu to new generations is his true pride and joy. In my restless dreams... He is there.
