Personality

Carmen Ghia is Roger De Bris' male "secretary". They are both gay and they love to flounce around their Upper East Side town house.

Some critics have speculatedFact|date=July 2008 that Brooks included the overtly gay characters of Roger De Bris and his male "secretary" Carmen Ghia so that audiences would not perceive an unintended homosexual subtext in the friendship between Max Bialystock and Leo Bloom.
