Short filmTranscript
00:07The showrunner just called.
00:08He's cutting your character from the show.
00:10You never let me in, Simon.
00:12Not really.
00:13What's this big audition you were talking about?
00:15I'm auditioning for Wonder Man.
00:18Anyway, nice meeting you.
00:20Wait, someone's asking the remake of Wonder Man?
00:22It's too late. Today was the last day of auditions.
00:30You're a bloody mess.
00:31You can't go in like this.
00:33And then you ran into each other at the audition?
00:36Yes.
00:37Are you sure he's buying the act?
00:39He doesn't suspect a thing.
01:09I was ten when the acting bug first bit.
01:13My first audience was my dear old mum, Dorothy.
01:17I had to keep her spirits up.
01:19It was the least I could do after all she gave to me.
01:23You can see how much she loves you.
01:26She was a saint.
01:27A true saint.
01:28She always believed in me.
01:30Believed in my acting.
01:31I'd never have made it without her.
01:34Wait.
01:36Were you in a hospital show?
01:38South Shore Hospital, yeah.
01:40First three episodes.
01:42Yes.
01:43With Joe Pantoliano.
01:45I love him.
01:46Yeah.
01:48No, yeah.
01:50People do.
01:52Yeah.
01:56Yeah, it's true.
01:58I've had some low points.
01:59Some bits I'd rather forget.
02:01But that's all behind me now.
02:03Thirteen years sober.
02:05Back in Hollywood.
02:07Ready to make my mum proud.
02:09You know, she always said my acting could be important, vital, and I'm going to prove her, right?
02:18That's wonderful.
02:19Your mother would be so happy for you.
02:21Stay there!
02:22Stay there!
02:23Do not move!
02:24Trevor Slattery, you're under arrest.
02:26I'm not resisting.
02:29We're not together.
02:31Some people call me a terrorist.
02:34I consider myself a teacher.
02:39America.
02:41Ready for another lesson.
02:45Thirty-nine hours ago, the Ali Al-Salaam airbase in Kuwait was attacked.
02:51I, I, I did that.
02:56Pretty scary stuff.
02:57It's cold acting.
03:04I'm going to shoot him in the head.
03:06Live on your television.
03:11Acting.
03:12There's squibs, blanks.
03:13You sure about that?
03:14Why are we going through all this again?
03:15I had my trial.
03:16I went to jail.
03:16I never finish your sentence.
03:17Not my fault.
03:18No one cares.
03:26You know, the way that I see this, you have two options.
03:30Option one is that you go back to prison and finish your sentence.
03:35I like that option.
03:36And then you have option two, which is you do a little work for the Department of Damage Control.
03:40Two.
03:40Option two.
03:41Thanks.
03:43Okay.
03:47This is Simon Williams.
03:50You're an actor.
03:51Do you think you can get close to him?
03:53I would need some bait.
03:55An audition could work.
03:57Shouldn't it be hard to set up a fake one?
03:59No, he'd see through it.
04:00He's a, he's a working actor with an agent.
04:03This is a small town.
04:04You'll know what's real.
04:05You need to find out what projects are coming up.
04:08Something juicy.
04:11Something Simon Williams would be particularly excited about.
04:30One second.
04:34Hey.
04:35How in the hell did Ruth actually call me about your audition for Wonder Man?
04:39Yeah, see, that's kind of a funny thing.
04:42No, no, no, it's actually not funny.
04:44I, I'm so mad, I don't even want to hear it.
04:46I'm sorry, Janelle.
04:47I had to.
04:48It's just, it's just something about this role.
04:51It felt like, it felt like the one, like it was made for me, you know what I mean?
04:57Actually, I don't.
04:58Mm-mm.
05:00She loved me, didn't she?
05:01Simon, stop.
05:03She loved me.
05:04She said something about you showing promise, maybe.
05:07I knew it!
05:08Yeah, but she's also realistic, like me.
05:11She's putting you up for an opportunity that you actually have a real shot at.
05:14It's a self-tape for an indie feature, the Carlisle.
05:17Get it to me as soon as you can.
05:19You better deliver for Ruth.
05:20You want her on your side.
05:22Can't she type with Vaughn Colbert?
05:23Because she's a great casting director.
05:25No, no, no, no, no, no, I got you.
05:27Do you?
05:27Do you got me?
05:29Bye.
05:43Poetry teacher, I'm close with.
05:45You never judge who says.
05:46Who says what that I don't judge?
05:48How is it that no matter who I bring in here, boy or girl, my mother or that odd poetry
05:53teacher,
05:53you never judge?
06:10How is it that no matter who I bring in here, boy or girl or my mother or that odd
06:21poetry teacher, you never judge?
06:25Who says?
06:27Who says?
06:28Who says what?
06:29That I don't judge.
06:32Maybe I'm just good at hiding it.
06:50It's good.
06:51Maybe just down in the back.
06:54Okay.
06:55And then maybe this out.
06:56Okay.
06:59Yeah, I like that.
07:00Okay.
07:01I'm a nutty.
07:24I'm a nutty.
07:54I'm a nutty.
08:00Did you notice any signs of visible enhancement?
08:03What exactly?
08:05I don't know.
08:06Like a subtle glow, maybe?
08:09No, he was not glowing.
08:12I said subtle.
08:14Look, Trevor, the Department of Damage Control
08:16considers Simon Williams an extraordinary threat.
08:20And I just need some proof.
08:21I need it fast.
08:22I think we've wasted enough time trying to search for this perfect audition.
08:26It was worth it.
08:27I think we could have gone with Megan 3.0.
08:30That's why you hired me.
08:32Oh, what do you look at that?
08:34Simon Williams.
08:35Yes.
08:40I want you to wear this.
08:42When you enter his place, find his computer and place this right on top.
08:46And I'll handle the rest remotely.
08:48Got it.
08:50Why aren't you texting him back?
08:52I wouldn't want him to think I'm just sitting around all day waiting for someone to text me.
08:58Okay.
09:13I think we've waited long enough.
09:15I'll handle the role of Trevor Slattery if you don't mind.
09:17I do appreciate that.
09:20Okay.
09:21I've put down my book.
09:23I have crossed the room.
09:25I've reached my phone.
09:27Intriguing.
09:28When were you thinking?
09:32He's thinking now.
09:33I see.
09:33That might be tricky.
09:35I would have to move some things around.
09:40But there might be a chance I could manage.
09:44Just say, see you in 20.
09:46I would never text a sentence fragment.
09:51Meeting is set.
09:53Great.
09:55How far that little candle throws his beams so shines a good deed in a naughty world.
10:03Yeah.
10:04Shakespeare.
10:06Right.
10:07Mention to Venice.
10:08Sure.
10:10Don't mess this up, Trevor.
10:13Yeah.
10:26Yeah.
10:28It's Trevor.
10:29Trevor Slattery.
10:31Cool.
10:32We'll be right now.
10:34Wait.
10:34Uh, uh, aren't I coming up?
10:42Hey.
10:45Thanks for coming.
10:46Let's go shoot this thing.
10:48How are we using your apartment?
10:49Nah, it's got bad energy.
10:53Look, I just went through a breakup, so it's kinda hard to focus in there.
10:57I gotta be center for this.
10:58It's gotta be good.
11:00Okay.
11:01Okay.
11:01Okay, so where did we go?
11:02That's a self-tape studio.
11:04Not far from here.
11:05And what, pray tell, is a self-tape studio?
11:10They sprang up over the last few years.
11:13You rent the room by the minute.
11:14It helps.
11:16Since almost everything these days is a self-tape.
11:18It's tragic how the industry's changed.
11:21Oh.
11:22Sorry.
11:23I've gotta take this.
11:24I'll sign this up.
11:29I couldn't get into his apartment.
11:31How did you already screw this up?
11:33Editing and upload are included, and there are no hidden fees.
11:37Sign right there.
11:38And I can fit you in right now if that works.
11:41Nice.
11:42Okay, fine.
11:43Just stay close and keep an eye out for anything suspicious.
11:45I think I can handle that.
11:47Trevor.
11:47Oh, we're up.
11:48Oh, gotta go.
11:50Uncle...
11:50Vanya.
11:55So, it's an indie feature in the vein of Igby Goes Down, or the only living boy in New
12:00York.
12:01And I play a waiter who the man-boy protagonist has an unexpected emotional connection with.
12:06Sounds rich and textured.
12:08This could be good for you.
12:09Right.
12:09So, I'm thinking, the waiter character is third generation from the Bronx.
12:18His father always wanted to own his own restaurant.
12:21He was a great cook.
12:22And he took Cory to the Carlisle when he was a little boy for tea once, so he's always
12:26had this emotional attachment to it.
12:29Not sure how you'll convey all this with...
12:31Would you like to charge it to your room?
12:34May I see the sides?
12:35I'd like to prepare before we start.
12:38Oh, uh...
12:39No.
12:39Sorry.
12:39The two of us, we can handle it.
12:41That's why we came together.
12:42Well, you should have read the waiver you signed, because it stipulates that I read
12:45all off-camera lines.
12:53Would you like to charge it to your room?
12:58Oh, sorry.
12:59Is that me?
13:00Yes, ma'am.
13:00Here it is.
13:03Okay.
13:04Let's start again.
13:06Pick up the pace.
13:13Would you like to charge it to your room?
13:16How is it that...?
13:22Is it that...?
13:23That sounds weird.
13:25I think we're good.
13:26Thank you, Marcy.
13:27Is it that...?
13:28That sounds weird, right?
13:30Thank you, Marcy.
13:38How do you still have a place in L.A. after all these use?
13:40Bought it.
13:41From the South Shore Hospital money.
13:55Make yourself at home.
14:00Wow.
14:01This place is crazy.
14:02Sure beats the old dungeon.
14:09Turtle Diary directed by John Irvin.
14:13You've seen Turtle Diary?
14:14Of course.
14:16You and Glenda Jackson free a couple sea turtles from the London Zoo, but you really free yourselves
14:19along the way.
14:20Yeah.
14:21No, yeah.
14:22How am I just realizing that now?
14:26Coronation Street.
14:27You play Ron Jenkins, right?
14:29Well done.
14:30One.
14:30A pint of bitter, please.
14:31And one for my friend.
14:33Every Brit did their stint.
14:35The producers were thrilled to get me after my runner's lear.
14:38Oh, careful with that.
14:43There's a tradition in the theater of handing down your prop to the next generation.
14:48This particular skulls had quite the journey.
14:51It was used by David Garrick when he played Hamlet.
14:54He gave it to Keane, who passed it to Irvin, who passed it to Burton, who left it in a
15:00bar
15:00and I nicked it.
15:02What?
15:05Is this you?
15:06Yeah.
15:08My mother, Dorothy.
15:09She was a nurse.
15:11She always believed I'd make a great performer one day.
15:14Have a positive impact on the world.
15:20I'm asking him to stop.
15:21It's just a place allowed down.
15:24Shall we get to work?
15:29Would you like to charge her to the room?
15:31How is it that no matter who I bring in here, that should be whom, by the way,
15:35whom I bring in here, boy or girl, my mother or that, our poetry teacher I'm posted,
15:39you never judge.
15:40Who says?
15:41Who says what?
15:41That I don't judge.
15:42Maybe I'm just good at hiding.
15:44He stopped.
15:46All right.
15:47Let's set up.
15:48Before we record, I had a thought.
15:50I think the key to this role is finding what's not being said.
15:53Think about what you're doing between your lines.
15:56That's where the character...
15:59Oh, bloody hell.
16:01It's never been this hard to do a tape in my life.
16:03Ruth Bakshi is never gonna work with me again.
16:05Ruth Bakshi?
16:06Yes.
16:06Casting director on Wonder Man?
16:08Yes.
16:08You better not mess this up.
16:09I know.
16:10We could shoot on the street or in your car.
16:12What?
16:13No, it's too weird.
16:14It's a waiter scene.
16:15You have any friends we could ask?
16:17No.
16:18You've been out here for how long now?
16:19Eight years.
16:20Eight years?
16:20You don't have any friends.
16:21What about you?
16:22You've been out here for decades.
16:23Where are all your friends?
16:24Used to have plenty.
16:26Oh.
16:27There is someone I could ask.
16:31We were both in South Shore Hospital together.
16:34I played the lead.
16:36Somehow he managed to get in the showrunner's ear.
16:39He had my character killed off.
16:40Walked away with the lead role and the people choice award.
16:43The most promising newcomer.
16:46Yeah.
16:46That's cold.
16:47He owes me.
16:58Trevor Slattery.
17:00I can't freaking believe it.
17:04Oh.
17:05Get in here.
17:11Simon.
17:11Joe Pantoliano.
17:13Joe Pantoliano.
17:14Simon Williams.
17:14Everybody calls me Joey Pants.
17:16Yeah, of course.
17:16It's a pleasure.
17:17You know I never eat a steak without thinking about you and the Matrix.
17:19What?
17:20Everybody always go on and on about growing at De Niro and Midnight Rumble.
17:23You were the third side of that triangle, man.
17:25I like this guy.
17:27Wow.
17:29You done well for yourself, man.
17:30That's a lot of marble.
17:31Yeah, well, my wife, she designed the place.
17:35Hang on a sec.
17:37Gotta give the tree some light.
17:40You know, Art Linkletter taught me a crucial lesson about show business.
17:45It's not enough to make a living.
17:47You gotta make a killing.
17:49So, I got into real estate early on, bought in Venice, way before Arnold.
17:55Made a disgusting amount of money.
17:58Just disgusting.
18:00So, you guys hungry?
18:01My chef be happy to make you something.
18:03Well, we're not really here to socialize.
18:05We're on a tight schedule.
18:06Oh, come on, Trev.
18:07Nestor's the best.
18:09I just stole him from McConaughey.
18:12Thank you, Nestor.
18:14Ah, my favor.
18:16We got some duck prosciutto, some roasted peppers from my garden,
18:20and we just flew in the moots, fresh from Hoboken.
18:26You can't audition on an empty stomach.
18:28Here, sit down.
18:29Okay.
18:32You know, people don't appreciate all the work that goes into the audition process.
18:38I'm offer only, so it's hard for me to relate.
18:49Man, I'm so glad all that Mandarin business is behind you.
18:54I mean, the performance was good, but I was worried about you, man.
19:01That was some dark shit.
19:07Simon, what the hell is this damn audition?
19:09I'm sorry.
19:09I'm at Joe Pantoliano's house right now.
19:12He just offered me moots from Hoboken.
19:14He got a treat in the foyer.
19:15I'm just trying to be polite.
19:16I'm in here code switching and everything.
19:18I'll give a damn if you was having sloppy joes with Sarah Paulson.
19:21You need to hurry the hell up.
19:22That's why I'm here, to do the tape.
19:24I'm just trying to stroke the man ego a little bit.
19:26Let me play this.
19:27Just put your face saying the lines on a tape and get it to me.
19:30Okay.
19:31Okay, all right.
19:32And don't do what you always do, Simon, okay?
19:34I know you're already overthinking and doing that bullshit.
19:36Just be normal, okay?
19:37Can you play that?
19:38Normal, man.
19:39The breakdown is go method.
19:51You know, I don't think we've crossed swords since we repped South Shore Hospital.
19:56Sounds about right.
19:57Well, I miss you, Dr. Jack.
19:59What's that supposed to mean?
20:01Dr. Jack Cronk.
20:02That was your character.
20:04Oh, right, lovely.
20:05Before you stole the lead from me.
20:10What the hell are you talking about?
20:12I'm surprised you bring that up, Joe Pantoliano, right to my face.
20:17Trevor, you were high.
20:19Out of your mind.
20:21You weren't showing up to set.
20:23And when you did, you were screaming white worms were coming out of your skin.
20:28You told me that you couldn't handle the pressure of being the lead.
20:33The showrunner had to rewrite to work around you until finally the network had enough.
20:38Killed you off.
20:39Can we please take this audition already, already?
20:51So, let's shoot this gentleman, shall we?
20:58That's quite a career.
21:00Well, yeah.
21:01I've been lucky.
21:02Hell, if I was British, they would have knighted me by now.
21:06Can I, uh, can I give you some free advice?
21:09It's Louis B. Mayer.
21:11He had a saying.
21:14The most important thing about acting is sincerity.
21:22Once you learn to fake that, you got it made.
21:27No, look, look, show business is crazy.
21:31It's built on a foundation of insanity.
21:34So, success is the collateral you use to build something real for yourself.
21:40Remember this.
21:41Acting.
21:42It's just a job.
21:44I mean, yeah, it's a great way to make a buck.
21:48It's better than any other job out there.
21:50But the minute you try to get something else out of it.
21:53Fame.
21:55Validation.
21:56Getting even with your parents.
21:57Whatever.
21:58You're screwed.
21:59You keep digging that hole.
22:02And you'll never get out.
22:06I gotta say, Trev.
22:09Oh, I envy you.
22:11To finally be done with it all.
22:14Must be nice, man.
22:16Not have to worry about your weight or your appearance.
22:21You can ignore the stupid trades.
22:25Actually, he's not done with acting.
22:28Really?
22:30He just had a huge audition for a lead role in a Von Kovac movie.
22:35Well, holy shit, that's terrific.
22:40Don't pretend to be happy for him, Joe Pantoliano.
22:43What?
22:44You think you're being nice, but you're actually condescending as shit.
22:47Do you know that?
22:50That speech was the dumbest, most patronizing thing I've ever heard.
22:54Oh, man.
22:55Fellas.
22:56You suck, Joe Pantoliano.
22:58Baby's day out is garbage.
23:00Even that dumb baby couldn't make you funny.
23:07Just get the hell out of here, man.
23:10Come on, guys.
23:14Acting isn't a job.
23:17It's a calling.
23:19It's the single most consequential thing anyone could ever do with their life.
23:26What?
23:41Barry!
23:43What's this I'm hearing about a new Von Kovac movie?
23:47And why am I not meeting on it?
23:51Can you believe that guy?
23:56You okay?
23:58Sorry that didn't quite work out.
24:02Sorry, man.
24:07I know a place we could go.
24:19Just ignore the mess, okay?
24:29I've been thinking about what you said earlier.
24:33About how the key to this scene is finding what's not being said.
24:38All this time I've been assuming the line, maybe I'm just good at hiding it, was like a gentleman buff
24:43telling the kid to watch himself.
