He appears in Ocean's 8 to pass on a message from the apparently-deceased Danny to his sister Debbie, attempting to dissuade her from trying to pull another job, as Danny felt that the job would be impressive if his sister pulled it off but was dangerous if a single thing went wrong. While his good-hearted nature may have cost him these two business ventures, it appears to be exactly his appeal amongst the thieves, who make very clear in Thirteen their appreciation, with Danny and Rusty going so far as to imply Reuben was a mentor to them. His cunning business instinct is illustrated by the fact that he was the only one to make money out of his take in the Bellagio heist (on the stock market) rather than lose money through spending over the last three years. He appears to be pushed over again in Thirteen, when he is forced out of a partnership by Willy Bank, leading to a breakdown that ignites Ocean's revenge plot against Bank. While talented in his own right, Linus's family connections frequently became useful backup players when events did not unfold according to plan, notably in Twelve when Linus's mother creates an escape for the team in Italy, and in Thirteen when Linus's father, Bobby Caldwell, helps him steal Willy Bank's "Five Diamond" awards.Ī flamboyant business kingpin, Reuben is an old school business tycoon who gets muscled out of his Vegas hotel by Terry Benedict, which is the reason he finances the expensive casino-caper. As such, he is frequently the subject of good-natured pranks by the team, most notably in the meeting with Matsui in Twelve where they trick Linus into believing he offended Matsui with his Kashmir lyrics.
Eager to prove himself, he frequently offers to tackle difficult parts of the con and assert himself as a leader within the team. He is successful, though the team assists him with a "Gilroy," a chemical aid, for this con. In Thirteen, he offers to seduce a key, female mark-despite the team's doubts in his ability. At various times, he seems to succeed: he backs up Danny in Eleven by bringing extra batteries for the explosives, which turn out to be crucial, and in Twelve gets a chance to run the con when half the crew end up in prison. Throughout the trilogy, Linus repeatedly makes attempts to live up to the reputation of his family and gain respect within the crew. Having witnessed Linus's pickpocket skills grifting in Chicago, he offers him a key slot on his crew for one of the essential parts of the elaborate heist. The son of a legendary con artist, Bobby Caldwell, Linus is one of two newcomers to Danny's crew, recruited by Danny in person.
Rusty has a weakness for owning his own hotel, which puts him in debt by Twelve and has led him to constantly pull off jobs in order to keep his hotel financially solvent by Thirteen. His ex-girlfriend Isabel is what gets the team in trouble in Twelve, despite Rusty condemning Danny's efforts to win back an ex-wife in Eleven. Very often shown eating some kind of fast food, his skills are used more in the planning phase of the heists, although he takes on disguises in Eleven and Thirteen. Robert Charles “Rusty” Ryan is Danny's right-hand man, although it is implied in Twelve that Rusty is the logistical heart of all the crew's operations, handling the details of the day-to-day operations while Danny is more big picture.
