Mr. Sanderson was one of the investors in the failed production of Shock Treatment directed by Davan.[2] He cancels the play, fearing that Ollie lacks the nastiness necessary in a director, but immediately gives it to Davan upon realizing that... well, Davan's an asshole. He's shown as a nice, if overly so, affectionate man with a sick sense of humor. He shrugs off the cancellation of Shock Treatment, and reappears a year later, giving Davan a new job as his assistant. Davan promptly quits his horrible Medicaid job and begins reviewing plays and liquoring up his new boss.
