Roland Corben is the bank manager of Kingston Falls Bank who has a good relationship with employee Gerald Hopkins who hopes to take over the bank when Corben eventually goes into retirement. Corben appears to be oblivious to Hopkins' sneaky and rude behavior. Although Corben seems to get along with Ruby Deagle, he does not have a particularly good relationship with Billy Peltzer.

History[]

Gremlins[]

He is first seen when Billy's dog Barney, whom Billy had taken with him to work, jumps over the desk and attacks Deagle, who had approached Billy and threatened to take Barney and punish him for destroying one of her decorative snowmen. Corben and Gerald come to Deagle's aid and both of them yell at Billy for taking his dog with him, with Corben complimenting Gerald's comment about the bank not being a pet store. Later, Corben is seen talking with Mrs. Harris who insists on getting more time for her husband to pay off their debts and asks him to speak with Deagle about it. He refuses her request however. Although he seems hardnosed, he does have a sense of humanity, electing not to terminate Billy's employment at the last minute over the Barney incident.
