Does Skittles remind anyone else of Gollum from Lord of the Rings?

Skittles to Angel - "You cannot trusts him...Kalani just wants the ring for himself he does"
Angel - "WTF are you talking about?"

HOWEVER, when he was first introduced with the original doofy voice, I saw him more like a mentally challenged character more than mentally disturbed. Kind of like Lenny from Mice and Men.

Yes that's what I thought too. I wasn't sure if they were going to have him actually be mentally handicapped or they were just trying to convey the stuff this guy had been through to survive.

I can see you how he reminds of you Golem. He's like this weird little super helpful assistant and you are never sure if you want to trust his opinion, but then he goes and does something like ... changes the tire on the humvee while you are playing tag with Behemoth and that kind of heart can't be denied. He's a good guy, so he is not Golem for me. I can't quite describe who I see when I hear Skittles talk, but I feel like he should be wearing a fanny pack and clothing that doesn't quite fit him. haha.

I imagine him as the creepy brother Todd from the movie Wedding Crashers, but older, dirtier, and more nerve-rattled rather than emo.

I think Skittles suffers from autism, so Raymond Babbit (Dustin Hoffman, Rain Man) comes to mind. Skittles definitely has a Gollum flavor, only I see his part is played by Steve Buscemi. But that's only so I don't have to do CG conversion in my head.

I thought the same thing when I heard the Skittles Actor #1 portray the role (not sure what that gentleman's name is), but now that I've heard Bob Berggren's interpretation, I've been thinking it's something else wrong with him.

I'm curious as to which version of the Skittles portrayal you have. Does the Skittles you meet before the Arena sound markedly different than the Skittles you hear at the Army Base?
