Curtis can be identified by his wide cheekbones, hooked nose and short brown curly hair. He wears a black shirt with rolled sleeves and tan skinny jeans. Like all townies in The Sims 2, Curtis' career, skills and relationships with other townies are usually randomized at the start of the game. He has the same facial structure as Hal Capp as an adult, minus the eyebrows, and Colin Copur. Curtis shares his last name with BJ Ryan, a headmaster from Pleasantview. However, there is no evidence that the two are related.
