Ruben Reuter: The wacky drug dealer of "Pushers," "Lord of the Flies" Percy, Channel 4 Journalist, Short Guy with a d*ck

Link to the n*de dudes

I was researching Ryan McParland, the Irish actor who plays the younger brother on How to Get to Heaven from Belfast, and I found a cast photo from Pushers (2025), a Channel 4 comedy. With two short guys.

Two short guys?  I'm definitely watching this show!

Turns out that Pushers is not available to stream in the U.S., but I watched some clips on Youtube.  

It stars Rosie Jones  as Emily Dawkins, a woman with cerebral palsy who loses her benefits and needs some way to make money -- and impress her crush (a lady). Enter lovable doofus Ewen (Ryan McParland), who wants to "make money fast" in the amateur drug-dealing game.  He notices that Emily is invisible; people are disturbed by her disability, and pretend not to see her.  A perfect drug runner!

Emily suggests using her charity, Wee CU (providing accessible toilets), as a cover for the drug business.  And she recruits some other disabled people for the crew:

Hope (Libby Mae) handles the money-laundering, and pushes to expand the business into spice (an artificial cannabinoid).

Sam (Jon Furlong, in the back) became aggressive during her first drug sale, so she hired him as the muscle. He's garrulous and rather a tipster.

Harry (Ruben Reuter, hugging Ryan) wanted to make a documentary about the experience, but they reject the idea.  He handles the website and  the social media.

Trevor Dwyer-Lynch of Coronation Street (right) plays Masir, who provides the minivan.

Harry is an actor, dancer, and filmmaker (his dream is to direct Hollyoakes).  

In the first clip I watched, Harry and Ewan are hiding from a real drug lord - the kind that cuts your d*ck off -- and he suggests disguising themselves with drag.  He's an expert on hairstyling and makeup.   

Ewan: "F*cking hell, I look like me nan."

Harry: "No, you're attractive."

Ewan "Are you saying me nan ain't attractive?"

In another clip, the gang interviews for their jobs. Harry says that he's working at a pub with his Dad, but he wants to make enough money to ask his boyfriend Kevin to marry him.

A gay character!  They already had a lesbian character, so there's really no reason to make Harry gay -- unless the actor is gay in real life.

Ruben Reuter was born in 2000 in Huddersfield, Yorkshire.  He has eight previous on-screen acting credits, most significantly the teen soap The Dumping Ground (2015-2024).  His character, Finn, was hetero, but he also may have a gay-subtext buddy-bond with Harry (Philip Graham Scott).

More after the break.  

Ruben is also a reporter for Channel 4 News.  He won the SENSE Journalism Award (for reporting on issues involving people with complex disabilities).

The BASW  Journalism Award (for reporting on social work in the media).

And he was nominated for Royal Television Society's Young Journalist Award.

Tired of hearing about Ruben's accomplishments yet?  

In April 2025, he danced at the International Draft Works, which showcases the work of up-and-coming choreographers.

And he made his on-stage debut, playing Percival in Lord of the Flies (top photo).  Percival is "a small, fragile boy" who is traumatized by the barbarism of the plane-wrecked high schoolers, and predicts the coming of the Beast.

One more:  Ruben made the list of the Disability Power 100 in 2025, and was invited to a gala at Westminster Palace to celebrate the start of Disability History Month.

Who was your plus-one, buddy?  

Ruben doesn't refer to any family or friends on his social media, but the gay hookup and amateur video sites yield two c*ck possibilities (on RG Beefcake and Boyfriends). But one may be Noah Matthews Matofsky.  Do they think that all short guys look alike beneath the belt?
