Raymond Peepgrass is a banker for Plannersbanc who hates and admires Charlie Croker in equal measure. Tom Pelphrey plays the character.
Raymond Peepgrass is the loan officer who convinced Charlie Croker to take those loans but Raymond helped Harry when it was time to collect.
He didn’t like the way he was treated by Charlie which added to his motivation to see Charlie taken down a peg.
Raymond had his problems as a woman named Sirja was coming after him for child support after he got her pregnant.
She and her lawyer set an incredibly high amount for him to pay but Raymond insists he doesn’t have that kind of money.
A change in fortunes
Raymond invites Sirja out to dinner and comes up with an agreement they can both work with. He continues to confide in her later on and she offers him advice.
He then starts going out on dates with Martha while working with Harry to take down Charlie. He likes her but also gets a thrill because she is Charlie’s ex-wife.
He shows initiative by approaching Herb to be a part of the group that will buy out the concourse and that confidence is partly because of Martha.
When Charlie escapes his fate, Raymond doesn’t accept it and finds a new way to stick it to him.
He uses Martha and Wally’s shares in the concourse to gain controlling interest in the building which makes it easier for his LLC with Herb to purchase the concourse.
He also has the opportunity to sleep with Martha that evening and is worried because Charlie is rumored to be quite good in bed.
Sirja tells Raymond to take a pill to help and he’s having sex with her when Charlie walks in on them.
He has his shining moment as he gloats about triumphing over Charlie. Charlie reactively chokes him but he isn’t able to let go and Raymond dies before he can even savor his victory properly.
