#5 "Tough Guise"

 Jess, from the television show "Gilmore Girls."

 Jess's character always liked to play the 'tough guy.' He never cared about, or tried in school, although he was extremely smart. When he first moved into the town, he was rude to everyone and always looked angry, not being grateful for how welcoming everyone was trying to be. When trying to get Rory, he toyed with her and Dean's relationship, rather than being honest.

  This is only partially consistent with the media, because in the later seasons, when Jess gets older, he is much more open and honest about his feelings. He is comfortable and confident with himself and does not have to put on a "tough guise" anymore. Although, when he first moved into the town, it very much related to the "tough guise" because of his attitude towards everyone. He got in many fights and was seen by the town as trouble. In the "Tough Guise" documentary we watched, it said that boys as supposed to act tough, be strong and not show their true feelings. That is how Jess acted in many seasons of the show, and that is why I chose him.
