For the men and women who dress up like Hollywood icons and pose for photographs with tourists, quality of life is measured in one-dollar bills. While some do it in hopes of landing their big break in the entertainment industry, others assume their cinematic alter egos simply so that they can afford a hot meal at the end of the day. But could it be that the real lives of these colorful street characters actually eclipse the appeal of the icons they have appropriated? In this film, director Markey presents Hollywood Boulevard as seen from their unique perspective, allowing the viewer to stroll these streets for a day and experience what it's live in the flesh of a fictional character. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
