Unscripted
Unscripted is the name of an HBO television series that was broadcast in early 2005. It follows the misadventures of three struggling actors in Los Angeles, California as they make the rounds from auditions to rejection, to personal struggle and to satisfaction. Executive produced by George Clooney and Steven Soderbergh, Unscripted provides a fresh look into the life of a struggling actor trying to make it big in a town where everyone's trying to do the same thing.
The three main characters all appear as themselves as the show blends fact with fiction as a movie/show within a show. It features many cameo appearances from many stars playing themselves on projects that they're starring in. As the three characters also enroll in the same acting class.
The show was released on DVD in mid-2005.
