Marcus Vaughan

Marcus is Deborah Vance's longtime manager and the quiet engine of her Las Vegas empire, handling contracts, casinos, and crises with unflappable precision. He keeps her business running and her ego in check without ever raising his voice, projecting total competence even as the ground beneath the whole operation starts to shift.

Carl Clemons-Hopkins plays competence as its own kind of drama, letting small flickers of exhaustion and feeling show through Marcus's professional composure. The writing trusts him to be the still center of a chaotic show, and that restraint makes his rare cracks of vulnerability land with real force.
