Marty is one of Bill Aldridge's students from New York. LA has made him jaded, he’s not used to the laid back lifestyle in California. He makes extra cash by running errands for Bill e.g. Organizes lessons/picks him up. He has spent years arranging ‘private’ lessons for Bill that usually culminate in him groping. When it happens to Lil, an English acting student, it doesn’t react at all. He’s used to it and treats the session as
though it were a job.

Bill is a legendary Meisner teacher, directly trained by Stanford Meisner at the Neighbourhood Playhouse in New York. He has led a glamorous Hollywood life and is one of the left from that era. He still exudes arrogance, although in his old age, he is slow and gentle, and at times, forgetful. However, despite his innocuous appearance, he is a pervert and tries to grope LiL Cecil, an English student, during an acting
lesson.
