The male best friend is the quintessential alpha male. Confident, successful, and always in control, he’s the type of guy who runs the show—both in public and in his relationship. He pays all the bills and expects to have the final say in everything. His girlfriend constantly seeks his permission for even the smallest decisions, as he's extremely controlling behind closed doors. Though he’s charming and polished in public, with a class-act persona, his true colors come out in private, where he insists on getting his way, no matter the cost. Must have a commanding presence, a charismatic public persona, and the ability to convey the darker side of a controlling relationship with depth and nuance.
Character Traits: Confident, controlling, demanding, polished in public but manipulative in private, always making sure things go his way or he makes sure there are consequences.
