Eddie Cain, the kid brother of an old hometown friend of Kirby's. Cain has somehow finagled his way to be assigned to Kirby's squad, and he immediately gloms onto his old buddy, "Wild Man" Kirby, and begins making demands of him. The cutesy little Avalon does a fine job of making his Cain character into an exasperating little twerp you cannot help but detest. Cain believes his brother, Tony, and Kirby were best of friends and that Tony was killed in their old hometown while saving Kirby's life. Accordingly, Cain also believes Kirby owes him a great personal debt in the form of Kirby's attention and protection. The cocky Cain immediately provokes the hostility of the rest of the squad, and Kirby has to continually make excuses for him. Cain keeps taking foolish actions, and he is unable to come to grips with his shortcomings until Kirby finally tells him the truth about how his brother Tony was killed back home. You may hate the character of Cain, but you have to love Avalon's performance in making Cain so credible. Written by David Wile See less
