As a supporting figure in Short Fiction, Tolliver Watt is not background color—the story leans on what they do once the chapter opens.
The owner of Summit Studios, who holds Martin's contract and is leaving for Paris.
Tolliver Watt owns Summit Studios outright and spends wakeful nights because his top box-office star, DeeDee Fleming, refuses to sign a long-term contract. He is no fool, but he is also leaving for Paris, which makes him both the obstacle and the opportunity for anyone seeking a release. His impending departure sets a ticking clock on every scheme aimed at him.
