Charles Kelly, played by Charlie Day, is a fictional character on the show 'It's Always Sunny in Philadephia'.
The character is a co-owner and janitor of Paddy's Pub - he had to give up his shares through due course of his career because of debt. He is a member of the gang that works at the bar.
Charlie's childhood was a turbulent one where his father wanted him to be aborted however his mom didn't. The financial situation was not great at home which impacted his character to a great extent.
In 'It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia', Charlie's best friends are Dennis and Mac. Dee is a bartender at Paddy's Pub.
Although considered to be a rather mindless member of the gang of friends, he is capable of rare and impressive moments of brilliance, particularly with music and complex social schemes. His musical abilities are borderline professional.
His physique can be identified as one of short stature, green eyes, unkempt hair, and extremely unhygienic in matters of cleanliness.
His apparel in the show only consists of second-hand T-shirts inspired by manga, San Juan, and other series. Throughout the show, he is seen dressing up as different characters inspired by the movies he has seen.
Fun fact, Charlie was in love with a waitress in the show who is his wife in real life! Right from season one till fourteen of 'It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia', Charlie's character has remained consistent in terms of the roles he played.
Once a journalist gave Paddy's Pub a bad review about the restaurant and Kelly and the gang plan to hold Lyle Korman, the journalist, hostage but his friends end up bringing Korman's neighbor instead of him. Here are some of the most humorous quotes from the show from Kelly.
