When it comes to iconic sidekicks, Ellis Boyd Redding, better known as Red, from The Shawshank Redemption is a must-mention. When Andy Dufresne arrives at Shawshank, Red is the first to notice him and offer a guiding hand, building a friendship rooted in trust, loyalty, and a shared sense of hope. He may not have been the mastermind behind the great escape, but Red is the emotional rock on which Andy’s journey rests. Without him, Andy’s path would have been much lonelier and likely far less successful.
