00:00We're here today with the subject of our documentary about a struggling Hollywood actor, Dave Mersike.
00:05Uh, Mersick.
00:10What'd you do that for?
00:11Dave, how long have you been an actor?
00:1322 years. That's professionally.
00:16Tell us where we may have seen you.
00:17I played man trapped in Port-a-Potty.
00:23Critics raved.
00:24I butt-doubled one of the leads in Yumi and Dupree.
00:28Okay, Dave. Drop him when you're ready.
00:31Just turn around and drop him.
00:35I'm laser-focused on acting. I have to make it.
00:38You didn't get the Larry David pun.
00:41I'm looking for somebody that's actually under 50.
00:46You told us off camera that you have an 11-year-old son.
00:48That's why I have to make it. To provide for my kid.
00:51He's the most important thing in the world to me.
00:54We're here with Dave's friend from acting class, Jennifer Z. Parker.
00:57There's no period after the Z.
00:59The period means stop. I'm all about moving forward in the Z.
01:02Buddy, I'm gonna go right to the chase.
01:04One of my kidneys is failing, and I need a living donor.
01:07You want me to give you my kidney?
01:10No! I don't want you to give me anything.
01:12I want to make it worth your while.
01:14You know I studied with Uta Hagen after I moved here?
01:16The famed acting coach.
01:18Above all, Miss Hagen was a teacher.
01:20She loved the craft.
01:23Glad she didn't live to see this.
01:25Oh, do you want to remove the toilet paper and come back?
01:28Oh.
01:28Another great place to make contacts is wakes and funerals of famous people.
01:33You should know we paid your bail.
01:34Thanks.
01:36Here's my one phone call.
01:37The calling agent I heard was taking on clients.
01:40Turns out he wasn't.
01:41And you'd be saving the human life.
01:44You keep my wife from being a widow.
01:48I think I could get us on Access Hollywood.
01:56Look, buddy.
01:57You had two kidneys.
02:00One chance to make it big.
02:02One, two, three, four.
02:03There's noisser why.
02:04Two, three, four.
02:04You had three kidneys.
