Francis Begbie, was introduced through Danny Boyle's 1996 Scottish drama, Trainspotting. The film concerns the heroin-fueld exploits of Mark Renton (Ewan McGregor) and his friends: Spud, Sick Boy, Tommy, and Begbie (played by Robert Carlyle). Begbie is the only one of these characters that does not do heroin, yet he can be considered more insane than the rest. Begbie is a violent man who is easily agitated by the smallest things and would betray his friends the second his life depended on it, or any time. He constantly puts them in danger by getting into random bar fights just for fun. In fact, it can be said that his friends drug of choice is heroin, while his is the adrenaline of fighting large groups of people. At one point, after he finishes telling a false story to his friends, he chucks a pint of beer off a balcony just so he can take part in the ensuing brawl.
