Businessman (Giles Cooper)

An unnamed businessman slept with Brendan Brady in January 2012 after being eyed up by him at a business travel
hotel. The two men shared a drink and a conversation, but when Brendan went up to the bar to get another beverage, he was harassed by
a group of men. One of the men held a bullet and attempted to intimidate Brendan, although Brendan was unphased by them. Brendan proceeded
to sleep with the businessman, but trouble ensued for the young man when, upon leaving the hotel, he was surrounded by the same group of men 
from the bar and assaulted. Watching the events unfold from a distance, Brendan initially drove off, although he did in fact return 
and save the businessman from the homophobes.
Brendan then took the businessman back to his and the pair slept together again. The next morning, the businessman attempted to leave
Brendan's uncaught, but Brendan woke up before he could get away and offered him the bullet. The man refused the bullet, acknowledging
it'd make an "interesting" story to tell the wife. Before the businessman left for the last time, Brendan encouraged him to be honest
to his family about who he really was.
:The businessman only appeared in flashback footage and was uncredited despite having numerous lines of dialogue.
