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