Fred Stoller has played the annoying schnook in just about every
sitcom you've seen on TV--"Friends, Everybody Loves Raymond,
Scrubs, Hannah Montana, My Name Is Earl"--and was even a staff
writer for "Seinfeld," but he's never found a solid gig. When it
comes to Hollywood, it's a case of always the bridesmaid and never
the bride, except in his case he's always the snarky waiter, the
mopey cousin, or Man #2.
This hilarious and bittersweet rags-to-rags story of the
hardest-working guy in showbiz follows Fred, who started his career
as a stand-up comic, from set to set as he tries to find a
permanent home for his oddball character. With candor, Fred shares
stories of his great adventures pounding the Hollywood pavement,
including a humiliating encounter with Billy Crystal, a disastrous
one-night stand with Kathy Griffin, and plenty of awkward run-ins
at craft service tables. And he always shares his ups and downs
with his skeptical yet loving mother waiting by the phone in
Brooklyn.
Everyone can relate to searching for a dream job or their next
big break, and will root for Fred as he weaves his way through the
cutthroat world of Tinseltown.
