As a supporting figure in Short Fiction, Raoul St. Cyr is not background color—the story leans on what they do once the chapter opens.
Martin's employer, a producer who controls his contract and is trying to indoctrinate him into screenwriting.
St. Cyr had undoubted talent — he could make one picture very well, and had made it twenty times, each starring the obedient, brainless DeeDee. His whip-hand over her let him perfect a feudalistic production unit, and even Tolliver Watt knuckled under when St. Cyr threatened to leave. He matters as the immovable ego against which a newcomer's sudden, reckless candor collides.
