Chubby Funny
Synopsis
Moving to London, he gives himself a year to break into acting, only to find himself waylaid by the same old problems. As he starts to become typecast as the unattractive but funny 'best friend' and struggles to make ends meet, his oldest friend and roommate Charlie starts to see his career take off, leading to things taking a turn for the worst.
Say what you like, but it's tough being chubby funny.
