Umina Resident

The Umina Resident is seen during the opening minutes of Operation S.C.O.O.B.Y. As his title suggests, the character is a resident of the city of Umina and was once a neighbour of Brittanicus. Scooby visits Umina in the hope that the resident might know the whereabouts of his friend. After discussing the events of the last year, the resident begins to worry that Scooby is dragging him into something dangerous so he asks the plush dog to leave. In the end, though, the resident is killed in the Scourging of Umina - burned alive in his home.

Behind the Scenes
The Umina Resident was played by J.D. O'Hallaran, whose home was the location for this character's only scene. Originally, the intent was for him to be from Yorkshire, sporting a comically bad accent and a flat-cap. This concept was abandoned on the day of the shoot, when the film crew realised that neither of these things were accessible. After many failed takes, J.D. O'Hallaran's final performance in this scene recieved a standing ovation from the film crew, and was the one ultimately used in the finished product.
