August 1989: Jamie Kennedy arrives in Los Angeles from his home in suburban Philadelphia with grand plans of becoming a professional extra. He's determined to make it in Hollywood even if it kills him - which it very nearly does. After a disastrous stint at RADA, having his kidney removed, being mugged for his trousers, and sharing a flat with a homicidal nutcase, Jamie winds up sleeping in his car. He's got two choices: quit and go back to Philadelphia, or come up with a cunning plan. Ingeniously, Jamie invents fictional agent 'Marty Power' in a last-ditch attempt to kickstart his acting career; Jamie plays the roles of agent, PA and even courier himself. The trick pays off: soon, half the casting agents in LA are claiming to be old friends of Marty's. His big break - a small role in Baz Luhrmann's Romeo & Juliet - leads to a string of appearances in hit films such as Scream and Three Kings. Finally, Jamie is commissioned to write and star in his own hidden-camera show for cable television, The Jamie Kennedy Experiment. He's made it at last - after ten long, painful years. Wannabe is the uproariously funny story of how he survived.
