Character Relationships in Cannes Man

Sy Lerner (played by Seymour Cassel) is a protagonist in Cannes Man. A notoriously failed movie producer who bets he can manufacture a star. He takes Frank as a pet project, coaches him on media behavior, and fabricates a non-existent film to build his reputation, orchestrating the entire Cannes Man scheme. Frank 'Rhino' Rhinoslavsky (played by Francesco Quinn) is a protagonist in Cannes Man. A naive part-time NYC cab driver with delusions of grandeur in Hollywood. He accepts a fake writer credit orchestrated by Sy Lerner, learns to be strategically vague in interviews, and becomes an accidental industry darling known as the Cannes Man without doing any actual work.
