RATBOY was played by a real ratboy!

Ratboy is alive and well and currently resides in NYC! It wasn't some little person wearing makeup and suit...it was an actual rat/boy. He was found breakdancing down by the subway one late night, and was immediately cast to star in this film. He felt that the film exploited his freakshow qualitities and decided never to do another film. He was asked to reprise his role recently for the sci-fi channel film BOA vs. PYTHON vs. RATBOY, but the script is still on the shelf because of ratboy's reluctance. He is still good buddies with Robert Townsend, and the two have been spotted hitting the club scene in Miami. Of course people figure that ratboy is some sicko in makeup, but little do they know.

MR. YOU SMELL LIKE A "FISH" AT THE BOTTOM OF THE OCEAN! How could you disrespect me in such a way? I can tell by your tone that you know the truth about this beautiful yet disturbing creature. Don't fear him ...embrace him.

BOBBY DIGITAL! WHEN THE HELL WILL YOU STOP THESE GAMES. MY NAME IS KEVIN COYLE, I FIND THAT RATBOY IS THE ONLY THING THAT CAN GIVE ME PLEASURE AND I AM INSULTED WHEN YOU MAKE UP LIES ABOUT HIM. LEAVE MRFISH ALONE BECAUSE HE IS RIGHT. YOU'RE A MUTANT IN WAYS THAT RATBOY IS NOT. RATBOY IS THE ONE WHO GAVE ME COMFORT WHEN I REALIZED THAT ANY TALENT THAT I EVER HAD WAS VASTLY OVERSHADOWED BY SOME STUD NAMED MIKE G. I HAVE SEEKED OUT COMFORT IN RATBOY. WE LOOK OUT FOR EACHOTHER NOW. MY NAME IS KEVIN COYLE AND I CANNOT ESCAPE MY PAST.

WOW Kevin! that was insane. a little too serious and heartfelt for an internet message board. You must be a very confident web geek. You could show the rest of the geeks the way or they could bash you anonymously, which i will do. You are a loser. Who uses their actual name as their ID? What a loser.

RatBoy has so many skills. He once DJ'd in DC! He was so wicked! He dared to play Seven Nation Army twice in one sitting. He gave everyone chills. don't slanderize my hero.

I would never put down this beautiful creature that jesus has bestowed on us. Jesus is my favorite person...ratboy being my second fave. Neallionare I am on your side, child of jesus. Ratboy's knowledge of the music industry is so vast! He loves the white stripes and is personal friends with the band members in Moody Blues. Will some genius please remake the movie so the resilient rat boy can make a comeback? How about a remake of Josh and S.A.M. with Ratboy as the younger brother? I can hear the change rattling in the piggy bank of the film industry! MR. FISH! You remind me of one of those hairy faced babies that are exploited on daytime talk shows.

Any truth to the notion that Ratboy was the real Brains behind Paul's Boutique? I met him last night at Union Square Cafe, and he was going on about that, but it may have been the Sauvignon Blanc talking. He was actually chilling with Lindsay Lohan, she told him not to drink too much, but by the time I was leaving he started squeaking uncontrollably and barfed his welsh rarebit up all over the bar. Li'l sucker hasn't aged a day, though.

ok I own this film and had not watched it in years, because of this I thought I would do a little reading up on it before watching it and ended up getting stuck reading all these threads
what astounds me is this
you are replying to a thread directly under the technical info that no one seems to have head - it clearly states ratboy was played by a woman who was a well renouned dancer
not a man - not a real rat boy
sorry to dissappoint folks but the tech info simply states this info is false

not saying someone out there might not know a real rat boy but it was not the one from this film and if he really told you all these things he is straight up lying

I have met Ratboy, THE Ratboy that was in the film and I will say that under oath.

Word on the street is that Ratboy is gearing up for his major role in the new House Party movie. Can't wait for that *beep* to drop!
