Episode 1 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. |

Episode 2 Jennifer's spirits are buoyed when a top talent agent tells her she's "special," though it's not immediately apparent why. Bryan gets bikered up for a cowboy audition (to the producer's amusement), then gets wrapped up on the set of Life With Bonnie. Meanwhile, Krista learns--after an unexpected audition--that she's transferred her acting gene to her son. |

Episode 3 Strapped for cash, Jennifer ponders selling her eggs and even quitting class, but Goddard bails her out by offering her a job. Bryan gets busted by a casting agent, bombs in a poker game and bonds with Krista's son Jake. Krista puts her foot in her mouth during a casting interview; Jennifer rehearses the role of Ophelia in a local production of Hamlet; and Goddard ends up alone after refusing to heed his own advice: don't mix business with pleasure. |
