It's hard not to like Tracy Orbison. A dopey Midwestern guy who excels in the food-stocking profession, Tracy politely and passively lives out his days scribbling poems in a notebook during shift breaks and dreaming of making something more of himself. Thinking he may have found the answer, he enrolls in an acting class taught by a pompous Z-list has-been (played by a hilarious William Baldwin)... (imdb)
