While outside appearances indicate that Brian Roberts (Robbie Bryan) has everything -- a beautiful girlfriend (Kelly Ripa), a successful career, and a stellar family, to name a few -- the truth is that he dreams of being an actor. When a college professor urges him to move to New York and work for his goal, it looks as though he may lose his girlfriend in the process. The Stand-In also features Dan Grimaldi, David Ogden Stiers, and Jaid Barrymore.
