Stan Litwak

Mr. Litwak is a character in Wreck-It Ralph, voiced by Ed O'Niell. He is the owner of Litwak's Arcade, where the film takes place. He doesn't know about anything that goes on in Game Central Station, however Mr. Litwak is indirectly both a foe and friend to the video game characters. Because Mr. Litwak depends on a customer base for his livelihood, he must keep gamers such as Moppet Girl satisfied. Should customers complain of glitches and games cannot be repaired, Mr. Litwak withdraws it from his selection, leaving those game characters "unplugged", their version of homeless and unemployed. The same goes for games which have not generated a high level of customer support. The flip side is that should a game be both functional and popular, it stays at Litwak's Arcade, and thus the game characters are assured of being "plugged". Mr. Litwak is shown to be a "realist" element to the film; a man in the real world trying to own and operate a business.

Trivia

 * He is seen throughout the film dressed like a football referee. This is also the work uniform of game technicians at the franchise Dave & Buster's, who check to see that arcade cabinets are fully functional, as well as replenish games that dispense prize tickets when the supply is exhausted.
 * His appearance and dress also appears to be a reference to Walter Day the founder of Twin Galaxies an organization that records world record high scores on Arcade games.
