Rodney, for the comic energy he brings to the screen. He steals every scene he's in.

Rodney. His enthusiasm is infectious and he made the role so memorable that they expanded it for him. Every line out of his mouth is solid.

Hamilton Mitchell.
And yes, it's because I know him. I won't deny it.
As for Cindy Morgan, give her props just for agreeing to play a character named Lacey Underall. Give Knight BIGGER props for getting that name out with a straight face.

Slightly off-topic: how did Dan Ackroyd and John Belushi miss out on being cast in this movie?

Re: Your favorite character in 1980's CADDYSHACK
I can't see either being cast. They already changed up the movie for Bill, Rodney and Chevy, and Belushi and Ackroyd would have just been overkill. Besides, weren't they off making Blues Brothers?
