Plot summary

A young actress, Dana Candon ( Jicky Schnee ) is gunned down after an evening out with her actor boyfriend Michael Pike ( Jeff Hephner ) who is also shot and wounded. Goren and Eames become suspicious when Pike plays the grieving boyfriend in the media a little too effectively. They eventually realize that Pike's best friend Ed Lang ( Pablo Schreiber ) who never made it as an actor, had been exploited by Pike to kill Candon. Only by convincing Lang that Pike sabotaged Lang's career to act in a movie with Matt Damon in order to further his own acting ambitions can they eventually persuade Lang to implicate Pike in the murder scheme. Features the uncredited off-screen voice of Matt Damon as himself.
