After all, the most powerful man in the world -- the President of the United States -- is himself a flopped "B" actor.Shot through with Max's characteristic black humor, Nowhere Near Hollywood traces his long, wacky journeythrough the fringes of the film and theater industries in New York City, from playing a Native Americanpitching hot dogs, to being asked to drop his trousers at a movie audition, to his heartbreaking near-missesas a playwright and screenwriter.
