What is a best boy?

The term "best boy" doesn't refer to a single, universally agreed-upon person or character. Instead, it's a term used primarily within the context of:

• Film and Television Production: In this context, "best boy" refers to the first assistant electrician (Best Boy Electric) or the first assistant grip (Best Boy Grip). These are highly skilled and experienced crew members who are second-in-command to the head electrician or head grip, respectively. They are responsible for overseeing a large portion of their department's work, supervising other crew members, and ensuring the smooth operation of lighting and grip equipment on set. They are crucial to the success of a production.

Therefore, there's no single "best boy" character to give information on. The term describes a job role and implies a high level of skill and responsibility.
