Ari Sullivan is a film producer. Evelyn quickly understands that Ari is a powerful figure at Sunset Studios, and he proves himself to be corrupt and lecherous when he agrees to give Evelyn roles in films only after she allows him to orally pleasure her. He further demonstrates his corrupt nature when he agrees to Don’s request to blackball Evelyn from an Oscar nomination after her divorce from Don.
