"Since I found these losers, I've totally given up One Life to Live."
— Bruce in Good Times


Bruce the Moose was a student at Lakehurst High School, who was then enrolled in the Degrassi Community School. A friend of Johnny DiMarco and Derek Haig's, he is the typical bully, and is on the Degrassi Football Team. He makes fun of other students at Degrassi whenever he gets the chance. He catches Dave Turner pouring urine all over his locker and threatens to meet him after school the next day. Dave tries to make peace with Bruce and, although Bruce doesn't beat him up, he throws a water balloon filled with urine at him. Johnny starts to disassociate himself from Bruce, which initiates a conflict between them. Johnny refers to him as "Mr. Two Credits Shy." It's mentioned by Johnny that Moose dropped out of school, and started to spend more time with Lucas Valieri, and eventually got arrested and is serving time for a robbery.

During his time at Degrassi, he was a member of Johnny's Gang. He was portrayed by Natty Zavitz.
