Appearance

Personality
Tommy generally exudes an attitude of assurance in his approach to filming; however, he cares little for storyline and character development and dismissively states that such scenes can be handle in post-production. Instead, he is more concerned with action sequences, and often exclaims "BOOM BOOM!" when discussing those scenes. His approach to his ideals of 'girl power' are often misogynistic, as he focuses more on the physical appeal of the actresses in his production rather than their acting quality.

Viktor Montmartre
Tommy works for Viktor and is considered by Leland St. James to be a puppet. This is proven true when he obeys Viktor's orders cut the film budget at the risk of the cast and crew's health and safety, and disregards future risks from the decision.

Your Character
Tommy initially had a general liking of your character due to your appeal rather than performance. For many scenes, he is hesitant, if not reluctant, to consider your character's suggestions toward a more empowering portrayal, though he expresses approval of scenes you master. However, his attitude towards you change after your working relationship with Viktor deteriorates, and he grows increasingly frustrated with your opinions.

Apricott Persimmon
Tommy is annoyed with Apricott's arrogant behavior and her dismissive attitude during filming. However, due to the fact that she is Viktor's niece, he is incapable of refuting her actions, regardless of what he thinks.
