Ricky Thomas, played by Jonathan Tiersten is a character in the Sleepaway Camp film series. He appears in Sleepaway Camp and Return to Sleepaway Camp.
Ricky is the foul-mouthed nephew of Martha Thomas and cousin of Angela Baker. He goes to Camp Arawak with Angela where he takes her under his wing.
He is happy to see his friend Paul but disappointed when his girlfriend from the previous summer, Judy has spurned him after maturing and flirting with the older boys.
During mealtime, Angela doesn't touch her food. Counselor Ronnie Angelo takes her to the kitchen in order to help her find something else she may like. After camp cook Artie comes onto her, Ricky prevents him from assaulting her.
Ricky repeatedly stands up for Angela against the bullies. So much so, that when campers repeatedly wind up dead, camp owner Mel Costic thinks Ricky is the one killing them. He is nearly beaten to death by Mel but shows up later when it is revealed that Angela is the real murderer.
