The Advocate is a compelling exploration of the complexities of the entertainment industry, featuring Barney "Rose" Rosenfeld, a down-and-out commercial actor struggling to find work after a class action lawsuit against a life insurance company. Written, directed, and produced by Zach Ring, the narrative unfolds as Barney gets an unexpected opportunity from an old friend, leading to a precarious situation involving deception and potentially violent consequences. The show stars Rob Nagle, William Duffy, Reina Guthrie, Clarissa Park, and Hilary Kang Oglesby, and runs for 90 minutes, delving into themes of ambition, identity, and the search for redemption.
