Character Analysis
Carl is Elaine's fiancé, played by Brian Avery. We don't really get to see him say anything or do anything, aside from a muted scene of him yelling in rage, as Benjamin disrupts his wedding. But we get to learn a little bit about him secondhand.
For one thing, Benjamin sees Carl as a totally unromantic kind of person. He scoffs when Elaine tells him how Carl proposed to her by saying "I think we'd make a good team." Also, Carl's frat brothers joke about him, referring to him as a slick ladies' man, "the old make-out king," who left to get married "probably one step ahead of the shotgun." This makes Benjamin crazy. Ultimately, he's a romantic obstacle for both Benjamin and Elaine to overcome.
