Grayson

Grayson works inside the Big Brother production machine, the harried assistant fielding demands from an executive producer who treats everyone beneath him as furniture. He is quick-tongued, put-upon, and used to swallowing his own opinions to keep the show running, even as the world outside the studio starts to fall apart.

Raj Ghatak plays the exhausted competence of someone who has learned to survive office cruelty long before any undead threat arrives, so his sharp asides land as real personality rather than comic relief. Dead Set uses him to needle the vanity of reality television, and his frustration feels lived-in rather than written to a formula.
