Biography[]
In the book, he is seen chasing the other kids with his finger that has the Cheese Touch on it, he is clearly enjoying it as he is the one who started it. In the film however, he is not enjoying it as he did not want to be seen as the first victim of the Cheese Touch when a girl notices that he touched it when it was sitting on the blacktop, making them scream and run away.
Later, he manages to pass it around to another student, causing everyone to run away again. It is then passed throughout the school via various students, and eventually to one kid who was a foreign exchange. He was not aware of the Cheese Touch, and soonly after moved away, and took the Cheese Touch with him. Because of that, the cheese Touch has not been touched by anyone and instead just sat on the blacktop for a very long time, waiting for someone to touch it again.
He is briefly seen in the animated film in one scene, where Rodrick explains the Cheese Touch to Greg, where he touches the cheese and passes it to another student.
