Practicing for a starring role in a movie, a B-listed actor pretends to be a hitman and meets with a woman who wants her cheating husband killed.
PAu3-443-124
Theo is a bad actor. His friends know it, his Agent knows it, and even people who have never met him know it. That's all about to change.
Desperate to win any upcoming audition, Theo decides the best way to prepare for the character of a hired assassin is to become one. Answering an ad on Craig's List, Theo and Brad, a news reporter and Theo's life-partner, show up in an empty parking lot to meet a woman who wants her husband killed.
The problem is… she's a cop.
Hooked up with a "wire" so Brad can record the conversation, Theo gives his best performance in years, almost convincing the cop he's the real deal. When Theo accepts the cash to do the job, the handcuffs come out and he finds himself spread-eagled on the hood of the car.
Panicked, Brad rushes down the street screaming at Janet not to kill him. As Janet frisks Theo, her hand lingers on his crotch and says, "It's true, though… what they say in show-biz. There really aren't any small parts." A Director yells, "Cut!" and it's revealed that not only is Theo an imposter, but they're all actors on a set.
