Your Character
Although he is featured in your daydream with Pippa Majors and Chris Winters and also appears at Matt's party in Book 1, Chapter 1, you do not formally meet him until the premiere of Tender Nothings in Book 1, Chapter 16 when he approaches you. He compliments your performance and says that your movie was a "step above the usual Hollywood drivel".

In Book 2, Chapter 2, you have the option of accompanying to a speakeasy and get to know him a bit better. He tells you about his upcoming project and it is hinted at that the two of you almost kissed if Thomas hadn't stopped it. If your character asks, if she did something wrong, he replies back that he doesn't want to do anything you'd both regret. However, the two part ways with a promise of someday, somehow, they'll make something beautiful. This come to fruition after Viktor Montmartre fires you. He is quick to offer you the lead in his film The Last Duchess, and throughout Chapters 11 and 12 in Book 2, the two of you continue to get to know each other on a more deeper level. He is partially interested in hiring you because he and Viktor have "bad blood", so hiring the actress Viktor just fired "won't sit well with [Viktor]".

Viktor Montmartre
In Book 2, Chapter 11, Thomas tells you that Viktor Montmartre represents everything he hates about the film industry and that he would rather retire than work with him. He already knew that Viktor was a bully but is surprised when you hint at what happened at the end of Chapter 6. Hunt is obviously disgusted by Viktor's behavior and glad that you were able to escape him. Thomas wants to release his movie the same weekend as Viktor's Double Agent and beat him at the box office. He says they have bad blood but doesn't want to go into detail when you ask about it. Thomas says that Viktor's "appetite for revenge is legendary". Hunt wants to keep his production secret so that Viktor cannot sabotage him.

Tommy Phelps
Thomas doesn't like him. He thinks that he is "the artistic equivalent of a pixie stick" and that he is in the pockets of snakes like Viktor Montmartre.

Chris Winters
In Book 1, Chapter 1, they appear at Matt's party together and ask Matt to settle their bet. In Book 2, they work together on the same movie.

Matt Rodriguez
In Book 1, Chapter 1, he and Chris Winters ask Matt to settle their bet. According to Matt, Thomas gets more cranky if you make him wait.
