An aspiring mid-western actor, stuck in a post-college job as a parking lot attendant, flips over the brilliant confessional monologues of Spalding Gray. So deep is Gray's influence on the young man that he sets off on a cross-country quest - by way of Washington, DC - to meet his unsuspecting hero. But things never go quite like we plan, do they? Help Wanted: A Personal Search for Meaningful Employment at the Start of the 21st Century is a lively and endearing coming-of-age tale about heroes, disappointments and the struggle to become an artist.
