Ari's long-suffering assistant. Lloyd Lee is a gay Chinese American who holds an art history degree from Sarah Lawrence College as well as an MBA from Stanford Business School.

Billy Walsh
William "Billy" Walsh is a mercurial independent film director, screenwriter, producer, and cinematographer who prefers to work independently and autonomously. Walsh is supremely confident about his own abilities and artistic vision and routinely rejects any attempt by others to express an opinion about his work. He chafes against any restrictions placed on his work and continuously rails against the "suits" who worry about finances and interfere with artistic expression. Although Walsh often expresses views that indicate he is an art movie snob (he insists that his works are "films" and says he "hate[s] movies"), he tells Anna Faris in the Season 4 episode "No Cannes Do" that he is a movie enthusiast and sees everything and he has seen Scary Movie multiple times and has enjoyed it. Walsh often surrounds himself with the trappings of indulgence -- prostitutes, strippers, alcohol, drugs, gambling, expensive food, etc. Although Walsh is perpetually broke due to his reckless spending, he had grown up in Scarsdale, New York, in a wealthy family and made his name at age 24 when he became the youngest director to win top prize at the Sundance Film Festival with his movie Days (or Daze).
Walsh makes his first appearance in the first season episode "The Scene." In a previous episode, "The Script and the Sherpa," Josh Weinstein -- a young agent who not long before worked as Ari Gold's assistant -- had accosted Eric in a locker room and given him a script to read. The script was for Queens Boulevard, a "vanity project" (i.e., not expected to earn substantial profits) set in the very neighborhood in which Vincent, Eric, Johnny, and Turtle grew up. After persuading the movie's producer, Scott Wick, to accept Vince for the lead role, and persuading Ari to help get Vince signed to the project, the boys are sent to meet Walsh, who has been signed on as the movie's director. Johnny is aware of Walsh's reputation as a "hot," up-and-coming star. They find Walsh lounging in a sprawling suite at the Chateau Marmont hotel with dozens of debauched hangers-on. Walsh has rewritten the script and it now includes a scene in which Vince's character has a homosexual encounter. The boys worry over the scene, but Vince is charmed by Walsh and decides to agree to the scene. Walsh then reveals that he was testing Vince's commitment and his willingness to put his trust in him.
In the final episode of the first season, "New York," the boys leave for New York to film Queens Boulevard and three months later, by the time the first episode of the second season begins, filming has been completed and the boys return to Los Angeles. Vince is happy with his experience working with Walsh. The boys next encounter him in "An Offer Refused" when Walsh tells Eric that Sundance has accepted his submission of "Queens Boulevard" and predicts that he will be the first director to win Sundance two years in a row. In "Neighbors," Walsh brings Vincent in to loop overdubs for Queens Boulevard dialogue. Vince is trying to get cast as the lead in Aquaman, but James Cameron, the director wants to see footage of his performance in Queens Boulevard. Walsh refuses to let anyone see any part of the movie before its premiere at Sundance. In "Chinatown," Scott Wick agrees to try to persuade Walsh to send Cameron a copy, but Wick fails; however, In Cameron decides to go to Sundance to see the premiere. In "The Sundance Kids," Walsh is very nervous before the screening, having had a bad dream about it, but it is well received.
In "Good Morning, Saigon," Billy demands Johnny's watch before he will listen to a track by Saigon that Turtle wants him to use in the soundtrack for Queens Boulevard. The studio is finally ready to release Queens Boulevard in Season 3, but in the episode "The Release," the success of Aquaman and good audience testing results have prompted studio executives to push for a wide release aimed at general audiences rather than as a black-and-white art film. Billy finds out that the studio has colorized the movie and plans to seek an injunction to halt the release. At a press conference announcing the release of the movie, Billy yells "[...] commerce" as Vincent denounces the movie to the international press gathered there.
In "Adios Amigos," when the boys find out they have limited funding to produce Medellin, they decide that they want Walsh because he is "a director with a vision and a guy who knows how to stretch a dollar." Eric and Vince find Walsh directing a [...] film under the name "Wally Balls." Walsh says he has a 25-movie deal with the [...] producers and he has the flexibility to make films how he wants; he plans to bring back "1970s-type class to [...], and ... the wide bush." Eric persuades Billy to read the script for Medellin anyway and Billy likes it, but he wants to meet the financier, Nick Rubenstein (Adam Goldberg). Although Billy had told Eric and Vincent that he could make the movie for $25 million, he pesters Nick for more money and antagonizes him by calling him "trust-fund baby" and hinting that he has been intimate with Nick's girlfriend. At dinner, Billy antagonizes Nick even more, but the boys persuade him to write a check for $30 million. At the last minute, Walsh decides to do the entire movie in Spanish.
At the beginning of the fourth season, shooting of Medellin has begun in Colombia, but Walsh is falling apart. Billy makes bizarre demands, such as wanting 1,400 actual Colombian soldiers as extras in a scene. Billy threatens to sell Turtle "as a [...] mule" when his cellphone rings during a production meeting. Three days before production begins, he announces that the ending of the movie has to be rewritten. Eric wants to shut down for a week while Billy works on the script, but Billy pushes forward. Billy insists on casting Leila, a gorgeous local girl (Sofia Vergara), for a small part as a village girl, although Eric says that the part had called for someone who looked more like Linda Hunt than Salma Hayek. After seeing the first dailies, he becomes enraged (although the boys are quite pleased with the footage) and assaults the director of photography, announcing he will run the camera himself. Production slows down as Billy becomes obsessed with Leila and Billy refuses to let anyone else see any more dailies. Eric pushes Billy to work on the ending of the script, but now Billy, frustrated in his advances towards Leila, is determined to find out which man has won her affections. At first he thinks that she is sleeping with Vincent, so Billy refuses to speak to Vincent, even relaying directorial instructions on set through Eric. Billy then announces that he is unable to finish the script and he needs Stephen Gaghan to rewrite the ending; meanwhile, he lines up every member of the crew to question them about their relationships with Leila. Billy is cracking under the pressure of such a huge production -- he says his last movie "had only 12 people in it" -- and Eric is surprised to discover that the egotistical Walsh is suffering from insecurity. Eric manages to accomplish the impossible and gets Gaghan; Billy is so excited by the prospect of working with Gaghan that he manages to rewrite the script just as Gaghan is arriving in Colombia. Gaghan, somewhat bemused at having been paid $275,000 for no work, agrees that Billy's rewrite is good. Billy finishes filming the final scene of the movie, a military assault scene that he is pleased with.
In "The First Cut is the Deepest," Walsh is back in Los Angeles editing the movie and refusing to let anyone see any portion of it. When Eric finally persuades Billy to show them the first edit, Eric and Vincent congratulate Billy but Eric tells Vincent in confidence that the cut is not good, that the movie is long and boring. The next day, in "Malibooty," Walsh greets Eric warmly, saying that he is starting to believe that "artists and capitalist pigs can work together," and he gives Eric a DVD with a promotional trailer for the film. Eric tries to discuss his IDeaS for re-editing the movie, which angers Billy and he tells Eric that he has already sent a print of the movie to be considered for entry at the Cannes Film Festival. Panicking, Eric uses the trailer to sell the movie to Harvey Weingard before the Cannes jury rejects the submission, but the movie is accepted at Cannes after all. In "The Dream Team," the boys find out that someone has posted the trailer on YouTube, and Billy blames Eric; they brawl in public, knocking over tables at Barney's Gourmet Hamburgers. Walsh later is getting a large tattoo across his entire back (of The Title "Medellin" and Pablo Escobar's face) when Vincent persuades him to meet with critic Elvis Mitchell. At the meeting, Walsh can barely hide his animosity towards Eric, but Mitchell mistakes their trenchant barbs for a close relationship. After Mitchell leaves, Eric calls Walsh a "hack" and Vincent manages to head off another public brawl.
Ari uses the favorable publicity over Medellin to sign Eric, Vincent, and Walsh to work together on their next project, Lost in the Clouds. In "The WeHo Ho," Vincent wants to get Walsh off the project because of his animosity towards Eric, but Walsh shows up at Ari's office to sign him as his agent. Billy then apologizes to Eric, having found out that the video was posted on the internet by his editor's girlfriend. The three go to Dana Gordon's office to discuss Lost in the Clouds, and Walsh rages when he finds out that Gordon has postponed the meeting by an hour. Walsh behaves obnoxiously when Gordon arrives, but Gordon takes a liking to him anyway. Eric, however, decides he can't work with Billy. Eric tells Ari and Vincent that he believes that Walsh isn't up to doing the movie because "he's peaked and his best days are behind him." In "Snow Job," Walsh delivers a script, but instead of an adaptation of "Lost in the Clouds," a story about two men trapped on a snowy mountaintop, Walsh has written "Silo," a futuristic sci-fi thriller. Walsh refuses to return the $500,000 advance he has been paid for the script and says he is unable to do the adaptation. When Ari warns Walsh that he could be sued for breach of contract and lose his movie career, Walsh responds with, "Well, good thing I paint." Ari tells Dana Gordon to fire Walsh and promises to find a new screenwriter and director, but Vincent likes Walsh's "Silo" screenplay and tells Ari to set up a deal. Walsh is distraught when he believes that he's let Vincent down and threatens [...], but Vincent talks him down. Ari goes over Dana Gordon's head to persuade Richard Wimmer to accept "Silo" in place of "Lost in the Clouds."
In "No Cannes Do," Walsh is excited about going to Cannes with Medellin. When he finds out that Eric is working with Anna Faris, he says he wants to rewrite one of the roles in Silo for her. Eric sets up a meeting while they are waiting for LAX to be re-opened after a [...] alert. Faris is skeptical but Billy persuades her to read the script. Walsh gets annoyed with Eric for not being more encouraging in the meeting. After reading Walsh's script, Anna tells Eric she doesn't "get it." Eric had promised Vincent to do anything he could to get Faris to sign on, but eventually he admits that he doesn't like the screenplay. Back at the airport, Walsh has taken so much Ambien, he can't lift his one suitcase. When there's not enough room on Sydney Pollack's private plane for everyone, Vincent tells Walsh to go on ahead to Cannes while they try to get another flight, but Walsh says he's a "team player" and stays with the group. When Eric arrives back at the airport with the news that Faris won't do the movie, Walsh says that he's happy about it because was reconsidering rewriting the role anyway, but he expresses the hope that she might still date him.
Arriving at the festival in "The Cannes Kids," Walsh is confident that Medellin will fetch a good price and he chides Eric for doubting. Walsh scoffs at Johnny for claiming to be famous in France for Viking Quest. When Johnny claims that Viking Quest has high sales on Amazon.fr, Walsh replies, "Well, even Jerry Lewis gets [...] here, so who knows?" When Nicky Rubenstein forces the group to meet with Yair Marx, Walsh laughs when Marx demands to see the film before its premiere. When Marx tries to persuade them with gold Rolex watches, Walsh says he got one for graduation. He even refuses to give Marx a PREview showing of the film in exchange for Marx's own Patek Phillipe watch. Walsh asks Marx if he could sell the Rolex for cash, but decides to refuse the gift anyway, but Marx gives him the Patek Phillipe "for [his] consideration." Walsh insists on getting a distribution deal from a traditional Hollywood studio and derides Eric for even considering Marx's offer. The premiere is a flop, drawing boos from the Cannes audience, and in the end it sells for $1 to Harvey Weingard who releases it straight to DVD. Walsh gets up to rail against the crowd for leaving before the credits finish. It is implied that this failure has resulted in cancellation of the Silo project and has effectively ended Walsh's movie career. The Walsh character has not reappeared in subsequent seasons.
Walsh often expressed interest in intimacy with various women, but he had a steady girlfriend, Catherine (Michelle Lombardo). While he was house-sitting the palatial mansion owned by Catherine's parents, Walsh expressed the hope that they would die before the estate tax was increased. Nevertheless, Cat is very loyal to Billy, at least in some respects. There are some indications that Billy and Cat have some kind of open arrangement regarding [...]. When the boys first find him at the Chateau Marmont, one of the people in attendance is a half-dressed young woman who keeps denouncing Billy as an "[...]," implying a deep level of intimacy with him. Additionally, in "The First Cut Is the Deepest," when Eric and Vincenet ask Cat what she thought of the first cut of Medellin, she says that should would never betray Billy "in that way," implying that there are other ways in which she would be willing to betray him. Walsh also has a rocky relationship with his mother, who often expresses disparaging opinions about his movies.
According to interviews on the season 2 DVD, the Billy character was inspired mainly by Entourage writer Rob Weiss as well as Vincent Gallo. Some inspiration also came from Quentin Tarantino and Troy Duffy, the writer and director of The Boondock Saints. It also is widely believed that much of the inspiration came from Paul Thomas Anderson and Mark Wahlberg's experience working with him on Boogie NiGHTS. Played by Rhys Coiro (15 Episodes)
