Rick
The third son and name sake of their father, Rick is the tallest and best looking of the four bothers. He strives to be fun and playful with his brothers but secretly is a little intimidated by them and their girlfriends. He continually tries to compensate for his lower view to demonstrate that he is just like them but feels he falls short.
Rick ultimately is a man of dichotomy. He doesn’t see himself as the tallest, or the smartest, or the best looking. He looks up to Blaine as the family patriarch and loves each brother dearly but at the same time he is subconsciously competing with each, trying to prove that he can fill the role as well as they can as leader and father figure. He sometimes looks at his brothers and believes them to be overly flamboyant, witty, and overbearing while thinking he is shy and a bit of a recluse
However, Rick is by far the most over the top in appearance of the brothers; not flashy but big. He over compensates his perceived inferiority by being dramatically large is everything. This largeness drives his personality and character. He tries to emulate his brothers in everyway but changes it unknowingly by adding elements which make him look bolder. He is Mr. Shotgun (x3), Mr. big truck, Mr. big ideas. His plans and schemes are large and at times overly complex. When he commits to something he gets very zealous about the idea and has a hard time listening to anyone else. He will work on it until he succeeds or totally fails. He can be obstinate and will only learn by doing things himself.
Finally for those who count him as a friend, Rick is trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, cheerful, thrifty, brave, and clean. Almost everything a perfect boy scout should be. But these traits are not extended universally. His enemies find him to be aggressive, violent, underhanded, moody, wantonly destructive, unrestrained, vengeful, and down right mean.

I think that Rick is the sexiest of the guys by far, I'm not gay but he's hot.
Rick has something of the spaghetti western in him, especially early on. Remember the poncho and the bandoleers? He's updated now, of course. He is very post modern with a slick, edgy look. He's very fashionable. Add to that his tall stature and dreamy looks and the girls go wild (especially since he has those thoughtful eyes and melancholy brow).
I think Rick is the shyest of the bunch, having had confidence issues most of his life. Recently he has really come into his own so to speak. He has a lot more confidence (bordering on recklessness) now than he did before. I guess his inferiority complex was the root of most of his complicated schemes, big guns, giant trucks, and so on. He seems to rely less on that kind of overcompensation now that he has come to terms with his own adequacies.
He is a force to be reckoned with either way, that's for sure.
