Kourtney (Dara Rene\u00e9) is Nini&#8217;s best friend and a fashionista equally obsessed with makeup tutorials and feminism. Ashlyn (Julia Lester) is E.J.&#8217;s cousin and an aspiring songwriter; Carlos (Frankie A. Rodriguez) is the student choreographer who has already memorized his Tony Award(R) speech; and Big Red (Larry Saperstein) is Ricky&#8217;s best friend, a dude who can best be described as a spiritual descendant of Bill and Ted.
