I saw way more of myself in Doug than Tommy. Doug was a lovable wimp, a romantic, a sensitive guy. He was average but ambitious and as he didn't always succeed - he was real. Doug may not have been the most successful later in life but I see him as one of those people who'd do a low-paying job because they loved doing it. Tommy... I never really related to him at all. He was a born leader but not a good friend and when he didn't get what he wanted or things weren't going his way he'd just cry and wait for someone else to make things right. Not that I'm holding that against him, he was a baby. He would have probably grown up to be a politician.
But Arnold - fucking Arnold was and is the man. Orphaned at a young age, ward of awesome grandparents, friend to pretty much all and owner of an awesome bedroom. Arnold's only real flaw was that he was easy to take advantage of but he would generally identify when this was happening. Still, a great networker and a person who wouldn't back down from any challenge. Arnold could achieve anything he put his mind to.
Or he'd end up murdered and stuffed like a human soft toy by one, Helga Pataki.
