Ron the Rent-a-Cop

Ron the Rent-a-Cop is the supporting character of the Canadian cartoon, 6teen. He is the mall's security cop, whose appearance and mannerisms bear a striking similarity to Christopher Walken. He is voiced by Jamie Watson.

Personality
At the first glance, Ron is the strict, gruff, and generally unfriendly head of security at the Galleria Mall. He has a strong distaste for teenagers, as he believes (with some justification) that they cause chaos and disrespect authority.

Despite his demeanor, Ron often shows that he has a kind heart. In "All Pets Are Off," he is seen acting affectionate to Caitlin's ferret and wanting to keep it as a police dog. In addition, in "Labour Day - Part 2" he lets Jen go free despite breaking mall rules because of extenuating circumstances (that Jen was telling the truth about). Finally, in "Bye Bye Nikki? Part 2," he allows Jude out of mall jail when Jude gives him an emotional speech that leaves him in tears. As well, in the episode "The Wedding Destroyers", he is brought in by Nikki as a mediator to help turn the Garcia and Masterson siblings into a family when their parents were about to postpone the wedding.

Although Ron frequently acts gruff and antagonistic, it is hinted at times that he does this in order to better keep peace in the mall and to ensure that people respect him and his edicts. Despite his demands for order and adherence to mall rules, he can be bargained with, and will treat those he sees as law-abiding with respect. Ron is overall very good at his job, and despite his hatred for teenagers generally does good work protecting the mall.
