Episode 01
"If you want to be an actor it's because you have to be an actor. Because it wakes you up at two in the morning...because you cannot live, think, breath without it." – Goddard Fulton
Synopsis
For single mom Krista Allen, wholesome naïf Jennifer Hall and green but fearless Bryan Greenberg, life as a struggling actor has been heavy on the struggle. After years of playing the sex kitten, Krista is desperate to take on serious roles. But despite her best efforts—and the assurances of her agent—all roads seem to lead to bikinis. Jennifer lands a stand-in position on The George Lopez show, but manages to screw it up by acting. And while Bryan seems to be making some career headway with an upcoming part on Smallville and a walk-on role on ER, there is still plenty of opportunity to be humiliated in read-throughs, hazed by an ER cast regular and backstabbed by a buddy.
As their seen-it-all-twice acting teaching Goddard Fulton says, "The thing you have that no one can take away from you is your ability and your dignity. You have to decide how much shit you're willing to eat."
Still Bryan is devastated when his Smallville viewing party is ruined by a message from his agent telling him his scene was cut at the last minute. Despondent and looking for someone who would understand, he calls Goddard, who is outraged that he's been disturbed on his private line. "Bryan Greenberg," he says to no one in particular—though Krista is sharing his bed—"Who the fuck is Bryan Greenberg?"
