Lenny Brent



Lenny Brent is the main antagonist of Harold The Rescuer. He is portrayed by Morgan Hickman

Creation
When Harold The Spy 2 and Harold The Rescuer were one film, the vilian was to be Lars Lewan. After Kirill Gruzberg left the production (he was to reprise his role of Lars from Harold The Spy) Lars was replaced by a new villain, Jurgen Muller. Muller was created by Anthony Devera, director of Harold The Spy 2. Morgan Hickman signed on to play him.

When Gruzberg returned to the production, Muller was cut and replaced by the original villian, Lars. As Hickman was already signed on to play a villian in Harold Douglas, and Harold The Rescuer (which was originally an N25 version of Harold The Spy 2 with additional scenes) had no villian, Lenny Brent was created for Hickman to play.

Harold The Rescuer
Brent plans to create a dentist office called Pure White Power, but has been blocked by the U.S. governemt. In Harold The Rescuer, Lenny threatens to destroy Washington DC in 5 days with a particle ray if they don't approve his plans. Harold and Edwin shut down the particle ray together.

Harold The Rescuer 2
Brent was originally intended to also be the main villian in the sequel to Harold The Rescuer, and to appear as a minor villian in the final Harold the Rescuer film, but it in June 2014, become unclear weather Hickman would be able to reprise his role, as he was leaving Illinois, where HTR was shot. If he could not, the role would be cut instead of recast. Furthermore, the plot for the final two Harold The Resuer films had not been finalized. It was decided that all of Hickman's scenes for HTR2 and 3 were to be filmed in June 2014. Because production wasn't supposed to have started until December, writer Nicholas Merchant had not started work on the screenplay yet. Hickman's scenes had to be improved based on a early draft of a scene by scene outline created by Merchant. Brent was supposed to appear with Christina Applebaum and Edwin Koffman, but the actors who played them, Katya Edwards and Alec Wyers respectively, were unavailable to film. Due to this, some scenes were changed while others will have to have additional footage shot with Edwards.

Harold The Rescuer 3
Lenny Brent only appears in a flashback to Harold The Rescuer 2. The scene was shot alongside filming for Harold The Rescuer 2. Though some of the scene was seen in Harold The Rescuer 2, the entire scene appears in HTR3. Director Nicholas Merchant shot this extended part of the scene especially for HTR3, as it would have made the ending of HTR2 a cliffhanger, and would destroy a plot twist of HTR3 if the scene had appeared in its entirety in Harold The Rescuer 2.
