Richie Boyle

Richie Boyle is a naive, impetuous young gangster in the 1950s Chicago-set crime thriller The Outfit (2022). Played by actor Dylan O'Brien, Richie is a spoiled, whiny wannabe tough guy who is deeply entangled in his family's mob operations and serves as the primary catalyst for the film's intense, tension-filled plot. Character Profile Role in the Mob: Richie is the son of the Boyle family crime patriarch, Roy Boyle. Despite his father's status, he struggles with his desperate desire to prove himself to the family and assert dominance within the gang. Relationships: He frequently butts heads with Francis (played by Johnny Flynn), the favored, cold-blooded enforcer of the family. Richie is also romantically entangled with the tailor shop's receptionist, Mable Shaun. Plot Impact: The film’s events are set into motion after an ambush leaves Richie severely wounded, forcing his associates to bring him into the shop of the unsuspecting English tailor, Leonard Burling (Mark Rylance). This incident exposes that there is a "rat" in the Boyle family, leading to a complex web of Hitchcockian twists, betrayal, and violence centered right inside the tailor's workspace.
