Plot summary
Barry Blye ( Jon Lovitz ), a struggling actor with a dull and drab appearance, is fired by his agent, dumped by his girlfriend, and evicted from his apartment. Desperate for work, Barry attempts to receive the lead role in a strange production of Hamlet, but is turned down by director Nelson Haliwell ( John Astin ), who instead gives the part to his handsome rival, Winton Robbins ( Bruce Boxleitner ). In a rage, Barry kills Winton to get the part, only to discover that he is actually to, in a literal sense, play the part of the long-deceased Yorick. Also starring Paul Benedict, Kimmy Robertson, Louise Fletcher, and Sandra Bernhard.
