He is one of the three main protagonists on the show along with Ricky and Bubbles, portrayed by John Paul Tremblay, he was created by series creator Mike Clattenburg. Julian also appears in four films; one short, and three feature length. Before the show, he appeared in the short film Trailer Park Boys (1999). He appears in the feature-length films: Trailer Park Boys: The Movie (2006), Countdown to Liquor Day (2009), and Don't Legalize It (2014). Julian also appears in numerous spin-offs, including Out of the Park: Europe, Out of the Park: USA, and The Animated Series, in which the latter John Paul Tremblay voices him. Character biography Julian is the eldest primary character in the series. He is responsible for hiring the camera crew that follows the characters around, originally meant to document his life. Like Ricky, Julian enjoys marijuana and alcoholic beverages, and he used to smoke cigarettes. In the original 1999 black-and-white movie Trailer Park Boys, Julian sold and used cocaine, and Ricky also indulged. Despite being a career criminal, Julian follows a clearly defined set of morals and often displays a level of honour and selflessness well beyond that of a normal criminal. He claims to be very well-read and possesses a slightly higher than average vocabulary, which often confuses Ricky. Julian and Ricky have been best friends since childhood, although Julian is often appalled by Ricky's actions. Being smarter than Ricky, Julian often acts as a mentor of sorts for him, offering advice and working to keep his antics in check. Nevertheless, Julian would occasionally permit Ricky to wreak havoc on their adversaries if the situation demanded it. Julian's main goal in life, alongside Ricky, is to get rich quick and retire, and he spends most of the series pursuing this goal via a series of audacious crimes, such as bootlegging, dealing drugs, and stealing barbecues. Julian usually devises many of the schemes that the Boys engage in, and will subsequently take a leadership role. Julian is very clever and almost always finds a creative solution to the various problems the Boys encounter, though he lacks Ricky's talent for lying to the police. Although he often appears intimidating to other characters, Julian is actually very compassionate to those he cares about and prefers to avoid confrontations, though he will not hesitate to fight back when things turn violent.
