THUG2 and the Starwars Kid.

[Filliz]

They've put him in there!

How to find him:

"On the Boston level if you ollie through the glass windows on one of the buildings (it's one or two to the left of the one where Ben Franklin is hiding) you land in a living room with a flat panel tv on the wall. If you stand in front of the TV Ghyslain gets up and shouts something about watching Star Wars (which you're now preventing). Hitting O (on the PS2) will result in him showing off his moves."

Playable character:

You can unlock the "Geeky Kid" character by beating all the goals in all levels in Easy Mode. They don't refer to him as "Star Wars Kid," which indirectly answers the question about whether he was compensated for his likeness. (He wasn't.)
