Milo Thatch-Portrait

Milo is a pretty great protagonist for his film. He's the straight man who has to figure everything out while being ridiculed by the rest of the crew, but he earns their respect, and they become so fond of him that it actually makes them turn their back on their leader and the chance to make a fortune. You gotta be a special guy to get that kind of loyalty from your crew.

And how often does the nerdy bookworm get the girl?

Not often, I can tell you that from experience.
