A serious actor and the seductive, intertwined worlds of modeling, soap operas, and music videos in New York City. His career-oriented odyssey introduces him to a wide array of characters who can no longer tell the difference between ego and personality, self-respect and vanity, happiness and hype, But, hey, that's showbiz. "One aspect of American culture that THE REAL BLONDE successfully captures (and skewers) is the hollowness of what we're exposed to through the media. Image and fantasy are everything; reality is valueless." James Berardinelli
