Fact: Rembrandt was to be called Plato.

Something I failed to pick up on but was e-mailed in to me by "strungout":

"Reading the script you have hosted, if you look on page 113, line 295, you'll read "coming along the side of the passageway, Snowball, Cowboy, and Plato". However, Plato is crossed out and replaced with "Rem.""

I'd previously mentioned that a real vest existed for the character "Plato" and we guessed it was Rembrandt's. I guess this proves it. Did anyone else notice that? It's quite a cool fact. 8)

Rembrandt sounds better for a street gang member. Hard to imagine a guy named Plato kicking anyone's ass. Plus, most people instantly recognize the name as a painter and make the connection.

I think Fox was supposed to be the "smart" one so they didn't need another character like that.

I had actually noticed that a while ago but I was under the assumption that the erst of you had as well

I'm glad they changed his name from Plato to Rembrandt, considering that he's the tagger it just makes much more sense.

Jesus. My own name was already taken. Had to register as this guy. I've been watching the forums for a long time, and I thought now was as good a time as any to join. I think it's easy to see why Rembrandt became Rembrandt: Plato was a philosopher, REmbrandt a painter. Maybe the fox should have been plato. J/K!

Rembrandt is one of my favourite characters and calling him Pluto would have been a big mistake,nobody wants to share the same name as Mickey Mouse`s dog !!!
