Born to be King
Director: Peter Capaldi
Year: 2014
An extra on a film set is discovered to bear a striking resemblance to the movie's leading man. Whilst standing for the star he finds himself falling in love with the leading lady.
The Great Pretender
Director: Peter Capaldi
Year: 2006
In 1938 two producers hire hell-raising Hollywood star Leslie Grangely (Ewan McGregor) to play Bonnie Prince Charlie (also McGregor) in a movie about the 18th-century Jacobite Rebellion in Scotland. Soon after, a drunk Grangely disappears and the producers are forced to find a replacment. They trick a gullible, goofy extra with an uncanny resemblance for Grangely into playing the role of Bonnie Prince Charlie, 'The Great Pretender'. <br /> <br /> A hilarious comedy and a paradox of epic proportions, The Great Pretender reconfirms Ewan McGregor's deft comic genius as he stars, doubles and extras in this riotous role-switching farce of a movie within a movie.
