[ON HIATUS TILL FURTHER NOTICE] 
Scott Packer became a famous actor in his teens by landing the lead role in a popular basketball series. But now that he's in his 20s, he's finding himself getting too old to play teen heartthrobs, and nobody is exactly beating down his door to give him an Oscar. So when he's offered a role in a movie about two gay firemen, he jumps at the chance. The problem? The other male lead is known Hollywood asshole Brandon Beck.

Brandon Beck knows he has a reputation as Hollywood's bad boy, but he doesn't give a damn because he's got the talent and connections to back up his stellar acting career. So when his producer friend begs him to star in a movie about gay firemen, he's a little hesitant, especially when he finds out he's supposed to work with empty-headed prettyboy Scott Packer.

Will the two actors find a way to work together, despite their differences? What if something even more unexpected drives them even closer than they expected?

Acting The Part [BL]

"Yeah, it is." Brandon helped his sister drain the spaghetti. "Lonnie's going through the details of the contract, and once he gives me the green light, I'm signing it."


"And you really don't have a problem with Scott Packer?" Beth seemed highly amused now.


"Well, I do still kinda have a problem, per se. I don't feel as comfortable with him as I would with someone like, Shaw Goode, for example."


"Shaw Goode's overrated." Beth wrinkled her nose. "At least Scott's hot. You can look forward to your kissing scenes."


"For God's sake, woman!" He threw a tea towel at her, laughing. "Is that all you think about? I'm more worried about the rest of the movie."


"Yeah, but it'll help you get into character, won't it?"


"Won't hurt, I guess." Brandon gave the pot of pasta sauce bubbling on the stove a stir. "I can't help but feel like I'm making a mistake, y'know? I've always had this gut feeling going into a movie whether it's going to work out or not. And this one...I don't know. The script feels right, the director feels right...fuck, I seriously wish I could pinpoint what's wrong."


"Stop being such a drama queen." Beth was frowning as she started grating some cheese. "You like the movie, right?"


"Then do it and stop overanalysing things. You always do this, y'know. Overthinking stuff to death. It's never helped you professionally or personally and it's not about to start now. And look what it did to you and Rebecca."


Brandon ran a hand through his already unruly hair. "God, don't remind me."


"Mom always said you were supersmart. But you know what? Being supersmart isn't necessarily a compliment." Beth waved a tomatoey spoon at him. "Doesn't make you a better person either."


Brandon thought about his hellish stint in rehab. "I know."
