Synopsis
Several young actors who participate in actor Goddard Fulton's method workshop are seen on-stage, at home and on the job trail. Jennifer Hall is a wholesome Midwesterner whose naivety is apparent when she gets a gig as a stand-in on George Lopez--and actually tries to act. Krista Allen is a single mom who's looking for serious roles after years of playing the sex kitten. Bryan Greenberg is a green, but fearless young man who's had some success getting TV auditions, despite a mostly fictitious resume. On the set of ER, a promising chat with Noah Wyle goes to waste when Bryan offends another longtime cast member.
