Who's who in Netflix short The Rat Catcher?
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The Rat Catcher is one of multiple short films that Wes Anderson made for Netflix inspired by the works of children’s author Roald Dahl. The project features a small cast of eccentric characters who bring this bold and colorful story to life with outlandish performances and deadpan comedy that sticks close to Anderson’s signature cinematic style.
Specifically, The Rat Catcher tells the story of an exterminator — who looks like a large rat himself — tasked with eradicating an infestation of rats. He ultimately decides to use his appearance to his benefit and gain their trust before wiping them out. Like the majority of Dahl’s stories, The Rat Catcher is comical and lighthearted while maintaining a slightly serious undertone that brings everything together in the end.
Richard Ayoade As The Editor In The Rat Catcher, Richard Ayoade takes on the central role of The Editor, who also serves as the narrator of the story. It’s from his perspective that Dahl’s narrative is told, with Ayoade often delivering the other characters’ lines for them. He slips perfectly into this offbeat tone, bringing real comedy to the role. Ayoade is best known for his parts in TV comedies, including Moss from The IT Crowd and several characters from The Mighty Boosh.
Ralph Fiennes As The Rat Man The Rat Man plays a huge part in The Rat Catcher's story, as he’s called in to exterminate a group of rats that have been destroying property. The character, whose makeup and costumes are designed to make him resemble a rat, is played by British actor Ralph Fiennes. Fiennes also appears in Anderson’s other short films as a fictionalized version of Dahl.
Rupert Friend As Claud Portrayed by British actor Rupert Friend, Claud is the one who initially calls The Rat Man for assistance. He’s a mechanic who works next door to The Editor, and it’s his property the rats have been wreaking havoc on. Friend appears in the cast of The Swan, another one of Anderson's short films, which adapts Dahl's story of the same name.
