Actor(2004)

Actor follows Bronze, a struggling performer clinging to his single credit—a minor role in the cop drama Boys in Blue—while juggling odd jobs and a volatile relationship with his live-in partner, a transvestite Christian rock aspirant. When a botched beer can robbery leads to an audition opportunity for his songwriter friend, Bronze sees a glimmer of hope. But the audition fails, and his downward spiral accelerates. A health scare from cell phone radiation and a freak accident involving a thrown soup can push him toward his breaking point. This indie comedy-drama captures the desperation of chasing stardom in the margins, where one small role becomes both lifeline and anchor.
