Answer:
Mike Teavee is a main character in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. He is the fourth Golden Ticket winner and the fourth and final child to be eliminated from the factory tour. He is played by Paris Themmen in the 1971 film adaptation and Jordan Fry in the 2005 remake. Mike Teavee is very obsessed with television (violent first-person video games in the 2005 film), and also dislikes chocolate.
Background
Mike is a young boy who is obsessed with watching television. Like Violet Beauregarde, he is shown to be American in most adaptations, but his nationality is never revealed in the book. His parents do not show very much control over their son, seeing as how they let him watch whatever he wants and serve all his meals beside the TV.
He is the fourth child to find a Golden Ticket. Unlike the other finders, the original novel gives no explanation as to how Mike finds his Golden Ticket because he talks only about his television obsession in his newspaper interview, especially his preference for violent movies featuring gangsters. He is described as wearing "no less than eighteen toy pistols of various sizes hanging from belts around his body" and likes to act out shootings. It is also implied that he is a fan of cowboys, as he is said to have a picture of the Lone Ranger stenciled on his windbreaker when he arrives at the factory.
