Character Description:

Anthony is a buff, overly confident stuntman who speaks with his chest—and flexes with it too. He takes pride in doing daring stunts and often oversells his skills to impress directors. In this episode, he’s limping into the podcast studio with a sprained ankle after performing a rooftop jump he insisted he could do. Now, he’s blaming the director for not putting safety measures in place. He’s emotional, loud, and never misses a chance to throw in a dramatic physical re-enactment to prove a point.

Think: action-hero energy with zero chill.
