Synopsis

Down-on-his-luck actor Lorenzo Smythe is recruited to impersonate a kidnapped interplanetary politician whose absence could trigger war between Earth and Mars. What begins as a temporary acting job becomes a permanent role as Smythe must maintain the deception at the highest levels of government, gradually transforming from a self-centered performer into a genuine statesman.
