Passenger List

Name: Peter Whitman ("Rubby"), middle brother Played by: Adrien Brody

...
Peter comes to India "flaunting" his dead father's many possessions -- as well as his share of grief and confusion.  About to have a baby with a woman he doesn't really love, Francis' "spiritual journey" seems like a convenient means for prolonging Peter's denial, but ultimately makes him confront his life and his relationships.  Of Peter, Brody says he "comes in contact with so much life in India, it kind of awakens him.... the thing about India is that life is very precarious there and everywhere you turn you are seeing people on the verge of death or extraordinary beauty and there i a kind of fluidity of it all -- and I think Peter's denial has prevented him from experiencing these parts of life, until he goes to India."
