History[]
Richie Tozier (born March 7, 1976) is a character in Stephen King's 1986 horror novel It, as well as its two film adaptations It (2017) and It Chapter Two (2019). He is played by Finn Wolfhard in the first film as a child and by Bill Hader in the second film as an adult.
Known for his loudmouthed and sarcastic personality that led to him being called "Richie 'Trashmouth' Tozier" by his peers, Richie is good friends with Bill Denbrough and the other members of The Loser's Club, a group of misfit preteens that includes Ben Hanscom, Beverly Marsh, Mike Hanlon, Stanley Uris, and Eddie Kaspbrak. After Bill's younger brother Georgie is killed by Pennywise, Richie and his friends have their own encounters with Pennywise before fighting the creature and apparently killed It. They make an oath that if Pennywise returns, they will all return to Derry to finish the job.
27 years later, Richie is a DJ in Beverly Hills (a stand-up comedian in the films) and one of the only members of The Loser's Club to never have married. Richie receives a call from Mike, who remained behind in Derry, that Pennywise has returned. Richie and the rest of the Losers' Club return to Derry to face Pennywise.[1]
If Movies Were Real 6[]
Pennywise is nothing compared to the horrors of adulthood.
In the segment based on It Chapter Two, Richie is sitting in casual conversation with Beverly, Mike, and Eddie when Pennywise suddenly bursts through the door. Pennywise starts approaching, creepily greeting each Loser and explains that he has returned to seek revenge on them. Beverly cuts the clown off, telling him to "shut up" and derides him, as they are all in their forties and none of them perceive Pennywise as a threat compared to what they face nowadays. Richie lists a few examples, namely mortgages, taxes, and loans, and the other Losers list their own children and back pain. Pennywise, shocked, offers his sympathy and leaves in embarrassment.
