===Act I===
== The Story ==
[[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] and [[Bender Bending Rodriguez|Bender]] get Frank Miller to sign Fry’s copy of Space Boy, a comic which he read as a kid. While there he discovers that there are auditions for a Space Boy movie and Fry wants the role of Space Boy. Fry manages to impress Marty the director and he is hired for the job and Bender is hired as [[Calculon|Calculon’s]] buffer for his nude scenes. [[Turanga Leela|Leela]] however, is concerned that Fry will become a movie star and not work at Planet Express anymore. Fry then gets a contract to sign which Leela is suspicious about since it is written in an alien language, though Fry gets her and Amy a job in the movie. Fry only gets a few pages of script instead of the entire thing which Marty says he wants to keep it more real. During filming Calculon is replaced by a look-alike for a fight scene which turns into a giant, deadly robot.

Fry manages to impress Marty the director and he is hired for the job and Bender is hired as Calculon's buffer for his nude scenes. Leela however, is concerned that Fry will become a movie star and not work at Planet Express anymore. Fry then gets a contract to sign which Leela is suspicious about since it is written in an alien language, though Fry gets her and Amy a job in the movie. Fry only gets a few pages of script instead of the entire thing which Marty says he wants to keep it more real. During filming Calculon is replaced by a look-alike for a fight scene which turns into a giant, deadly robot.
