Actor: Scott Caudill/ Scooter Page
Guttersnipe is a young Newsie with red hair and freckles.
He wears a black newsies cap, an orange-brown vest over a dark brown shirt and dark green pants.
Poor Guttersnipe can't even move this early in the morning. He's glued to the bed post
But once he puts on his Newsies™ outfit, he's raring to go!
He gains even more energy when they are singing
and when they're battling the Delancey brothers.
His name means: "a scruffy and badly behaved child who spends most of their time on the street."
He's friends with most of the younger Newsies. But his older Newsie friends include:
"Now the world will hear, what we got to say."
In his spare time, Guttersnipe likes to practise his Elvis moves,
and play his tin can drum.
Although he may be "scruffy", he carries around a broom with him. Not for cleaning though, but for bashing scabs.
Luckily he didn't bring his broom with him when he has a scuffle with Specs.
*Guttersnipe is mentioned in an official script of Newsies and even in a promotion newspaper, but the character isn't mentioned anywhere in the movie and his name isn't in the credits. So the character was either cut from the movie completely or was casted and appears in the movie but not credited. I've decided to give this actor the name because he is the only other prominent Newsie besides Snap and Tumbler who lives at the Kloppman house, who are already given fan names.
From the script, we get a taste of his 'badly behaved' personality. He has a line after Boots:
