An associate producer hired by Mr. Administrator to whip Tom and Dana into shape when their bickering affects the show. Snide and ill-tempered, he insults Tom and Dana's work, even though the episode they make while he's in charge is much worse than anything they did before he took over. Appears in TyrantTakesTheHelm. Played by Stefan Dezil. Oh, and he has HiddenDepths, so don't read the spoilers below unless you've seen TheStinger for his episode.
