Julia here! This lovely little (slightly) dorkish guy is Sidney Jenkins from a little British tv show called Skins. [Spoilers for the second season if you haven't seen it yet.] Basically, his best friend Tony got hit by a bus and he's not quite right. He doesn't remember a load of anything and Sid doesn't know what to do. He hasn't really been there for Tony at all and his girlfriend Cass is supposedly off shagging the entire football team. His dad is being a bit of a prat and he doesn't really know what to do so him falling asleep in Bristol and waking up in LA will have completely thrown him out of whack.
