Vince LaSalle

Vincent Pierre "Vince" LaSalle is one of the main characters from the television series Recess.
== Background ==
=== Personality ===
Vince is the most athletic student at Third Street School and is very popular. He can also get very competitive at times. He and T.J. are the closest friends in the whole gang, and he's considered his "right hand". He is also one of the most sarcastic members of the gang, along with T.J. and Spinelli. His rival when it comes to sports is Erwin Lawson, the school bully. However, unlike Vince, Lawson is more of a sore loser and unintelligent. He often stands up to bullies on the playground, making him very well-respected among the other students.
He has an older brother in the eighth grade named Chad, who was considered one of the coolest kids in school. However, in reality, he is actually a nerd. Everyone on the playground is surprised until Chad stands up to a bully who's troubling the main six.
=== Physical Appearance ===
He is a tall, slender, and athletic boy with black hair. He is taller than Gus, T.J., and Spinelli, but is shorter than Mikey and Gretchen. Vince wears a light grey t-shirt with darker grey stripes on the sleeves and a darker grey collar, a sleeveless green basketball jersey with a golden number one symbol on it. He also wears dark grey shorts and black and white sneakers. He is often seen with a pair of yellow wristbands.
Vince looked slightly different in the unaired pilot from 1996 (which would eventually be remade into "The Break-In"). In it, he had the same hair colour, but his hair was in a buzz cut, he wore a red T-shirt with a yellow "1" on it (some earlier sketches showed the "1" as a "V"), and had a slightly "older" look, like a teenager, though he had the same shorts and sneakers. The show's creators, Paul and Joe, once stated that they had to go through a lot of hairstyles before choosing the right one for Vince. In the episode "I Will Kick No More Forever", his '1' changed to '0', describing his loss of confidence.
