Characterization
Although early in the series Gus is reluctant to get involved in Shawn's adventures, James Roday (who portrays Shawn) says he feels the partnership has developed into a much more equal one, with Gus taking a larger role in their cases as opposed to constantly being "[dragged] around by the collar against his will". James Roday (born April 4, 1976) is an American Actor. He is currently starring in the USA Network television series Psych [1] Actor Dulé Hill says that Gus has become more relaxed as the show has progressed, and more capable of standing his ground against Shawn: "I think in the pilot he was more of a receiver, and he gives it back a little bit more now. " The change in his clothing is reflective of his more relaxed approach. Whereas early in the series, Gus is often seen wearing a suit and tie, by the second season he is dressing more casually. [2]
Fictional biography
Gus has been Shawn Spencer's best friend since childhood, and co-owns the detective agency "Psych" with him, after Shawn was able to forge Gus' name on the lease. Shawn Spencer is a Fictional character on the American television dramedy Psych played by American actor James Roday. Gus tends to be straight-laced and more cautious, although he has been friends with Shawn for long enough that he understands that Shawn cannot be stopped once his mind has been made.
Gus is often shown to be academically advanced. As a child, he applied for and was accepted into the Meitner School for gifted students; however, his parents turned down the placement, later telling Gus that it was too far to drive. [3] In high school, he was involved in spelling bees until 1989, when he lost a competition by accepting covert advice from Shawn on the spelling of "aggiornamento. " He continues to follow the American Spelling Bee meticulously, and tapes the yearly championship. [4]
Gus' parents, Bill and Winnie Guster, are shown to be overly protective of their son and still regard him as a child who needs looking after. They long disapproved of his friendship with Shawn, whom they regarded as a bad influence. After Shawn and Gus solve a murder for which Bill and Winnie had been wrongfully arrested, they mellow towards Shawn and admit that perhaps they do not need to baby Gus so much. (However, immediately after Gus leaves, they offer Shawn cash with a stern order to look after their son. )[5] A brother has been referenced in Gus' blog on the official USA Network website, but has received no mention in the show to date. [6] While in Mexico on Spring Break in 1997, Gus met Mira Gaffney and married her on a drunken binge.

[7] He also has an uncle named "Guster Burton," nicknamed "Burt" for short.
Gus has a job in pharmaceutical sales and with his vast knowledge of drugs, he helps to identify poisons and other drugs, used in crimes to help solve cases.
Gus has a very refined sense of smell, and nicknames his nose "the Super Smeller". [4] He is able to recognize the base component of perfume by smelling it, and can perform the same trick with food. The talent seems to be hereditary, as it has been displayed by both of his parents, and has led to the uncovering of crucial evidence in several cases. [5] He has been shown to have a fear of dead people, having run away from a scene where a dead person is present on more than one occasion. Necrophobia or thanatophobia is the fear of Death or dead things (e He is also well-versed in high-tech locks or safes, as demonstrated by his ability to crack an electronic lock on his first try.
