This is, THE MOVIE STAR
<Rock Music> 

0:00:45.760,0:00:52.720
Todd was handsome with striking good looks and a 
strong, toned body. His short, sandy blond hair  

0:00:52.720,0:00:58.000
and clean-shaven face made him appear a lot 
more conservative than he was. Although he  

0:00:58.000,0:01:02.720
considered himself average in the looks 
department, in truth, he was far from it. 

0:01:03.920,0:01:06.880
Todd had been fascinated by movies his whole life  

0:01:06.880,0:01:10.320
and his dream was to one day move to 
Hollywood and learn how to make them.  

0:01:11.360,0:01:15.280
Finally, when he turned twenty-five, he 
saved up enough money to move to California.  

0:01:16.480,0:01:22.320
Todd found the perfect apartment in the perfect 
location; it was directly across from Paramount  

0:01:22.320,0:01:28.720
Pictures with a clear view of the Hollywood sign.
Barely a month passed when he spotted an  

0:01:28.720,0:01:33.200
opportunity online for an entry-level assistant 
position at the studio across the street.  

0:01:34.320,0:01:37.680
Todd quickly applied with his resume, 
a photo, and thank you letter.  

0:01:38.560,0:01:43.840
As he hit “send” on the job application, his 
expectations were low, but his hopes were  

0:01:43.840,0:01:49.680
high. He longed for the opportunity to impress an 
executive with his strong midwestern work ethic. 

0:01:51.520,0:01:57.280
A few hours later, his phone buzzed indicating an 
email was received. “Thank you for your resume,  

0:01:57.280,0:02:02.160
we can interview you tomorrow at three o’clock. 
Paramount Pictures, Bradbury Building #401 – we  

0:02:02.160,0:02:08.400
look forward to meeting you.” He couldn’t help 
but be excited and the next twenty-four hours  

0:02:08.400,0:02:13.360
till the interview seemed a lifetime away. 
Three o’clock couldn’t come soon enough. 

0:02:17.840,0:02:24.080
At 2:45 pm, Todd arrived for his interview. 
Fifteen minutes early and dressed casually  

0:02:24.080,0:02:29.120
and smartly with tan chinos, a crisp 
button-down shirt, and a royal blue tie. 

0:02:30.400,0:02:34.080
At 3 pm on the dot, an energetic 
young woman entered the room,  

0:02:34.800,0:02:37.920
“Hello. Thanks for coming. I’m Claire, 
if you’re ready, please come in.” 

0:02:39.760,0:02:45.200
Ready? Hell yeah, I’m ready! He thought to 
himself, determined to ace this interview. 

0:02:46.320,0:02:51.040
Todd excitedly followed Claire into a lush, 
grand office where she directed him towards  

0:02:51.040,0:02:58.800
a plush leather seat. She winked as she exited. 
“Good luck.” He sat. Fighting the urge to fidget. 

0:03:00.320,0:03:05.440
A few moments later, another adjoining door 
opened from the far side of the room and before  

0:03:05.440,0:03:11.600
Todd could give it a second thought, a man about 
his age entered wearing a fitted black t-shirt,  

0:03:11.600,0:03:19.440
jeans, and motorcycle boots. He was trim yet 
muscular with a strong handsome face. His  

0:03:19.440,0:03:26.240
sparkling blue eyes and a full head of luscious 
dark hair made him striking to look at. There was  

0:03:26.240,0:03:33.200
no denying he was gorgeous, exuding charisma. He 
approached Todd sporting a million-dollar smile. 

0:03:34.480,0:03:37.520
Damn if this guy is going to be 
my boss, I’ll work here for free!  

0:03:39.440,0:03:45.760
Todd chuckled to himself. He continued to amuse 
himself thinking, this dude is a dead ringer for  

0:03:45.760,0:03:52.400
the movie-star Sam Sterling but only way hotter. 
Better act cool. Don’t speak unless spoken to. 

0:03:53.840,0:03:57.440
The man extended his hand with the 
greeting, “So, I’m told that you’re  

0:03:57.440,0:04:02.480
here to tell me about the church of latter-day 
saints.” He chuckled quietly at his own joke. 

0:04:03.440,0:04:08.560
Todd was baffled. Does he really think 
I’m a Mormon? Is he making fun of me? 

0:04:09.360,0:04:15.440
The man instantly softened, “Sorry, I have a 
terrible sense of humor. That was a stupid joke,  

0:04:15.440,0:04:21.840
I couldn’t help myself. I hate interviews. I 
never know what to ask.” The sexy hunk pleaded for  

0:04:21.840,0:04:28.400
forgiveness with his sincere big, beautiful eyes.
It suddenly occurred to Todd where he was.  

0:04:29.040,0:04:35.280
He was inside the world’s most prestigious movie 
studio and the guy interviewing him was indeed the  

0:04:35.280,0:04:41.840
world’s biggest movie star, SAM STERLING! 
The rest of the interview became a blur. 

0:04:43.440,0:04:46.000
“Are you okay, you look 
like you just saw a ghost!”  

0:04:46.720,0:04:52.320
Sam inquired with a healthy bit of concern, as 
he offered him a glass of water. Todd swallowed  

0:04:52.320,0:04:59.600
quickly as he attempted to keep his composure. 
“No sir, no. I’m fine – I’m a just big fan. Never  

0:04:59.600,0:05:06.880
in a million years did I think I’d ever actually 
ever meet you!” Todd fought to catch his breath. 

0:05:08.000,0:05:12.800
“I hope that’s not going to be an issue with you 
being able to do this job.” He sat behind his desk  

0:05:12.800,0:05:18.320
and made himself comfortable, “I really am just a 
regular guy who happens to be a successful actor.” 

0:05:19.680,0:05:25.200
“Yes, sir, I mean Mr. Sterling….”
“Please, just Sam. Listen, Todd,  

0:05:25.200,0:05:30.880
I need an assistant, not a fan. Someone to travel 
with me, take calls, book hotels, and keep my  

0:05:30.880,0:05:36.640
schedule. Nothing tough, but it will require 
a person to work hard and be really committed.  

0:05:36.640,0:05:41.840
If you could do that, you’ve got the job, but you 
really need to think of me as just another dude.” 

0:05:43.680,0:05:47.920
Todd knew he’d be lying to say that he could 
be anything other than impressed by Sam,  

0:05:47.920,0:05:52.480
but he wanted this job. He knew the 
correct answer was to say, of course,  

0:05:52.480,0:05:57.360
he could do the tasks asked of him and that he 
wouldn’t think of him as a celebrity. So, with  

0:05:57.360,0:06:05.840
the hearty shake of a hand and a cool smile, Todd 
accepted the job and was told to start on Monday. 

0:06:08.720,0:06:14.240
Several months passed and Todd’s employment 
with Sam worked out terrifically. He genuinely  

0:06:14.240,0:06:20.160
liked Sam and if he weren’t his boss, he could 
easily imagine the two of them being besties. 

0:06:20.160,0:06:24.800
Work took them all over the globe. Sam had 
meetings in Europe, Asia, and the Middle East  

0:06:24.800,0:06:30.640
to name a few, and now he was gearing up to shoot 
a major motion picture for the studio in Paris. 

0:06:31.760,0:06:38.080
“Are you ready to spend a year abroad?” Sam 
asked excitedly. “Do you have your passport?” 

0:06:39.440,0:06:42.800
“Heck yes to both! I’m ready when you are. 
My bags are practically already packed.”  

0:06:43.520,0:06:45.040
Todd replied in a gleeful tone. 

0:06:45.680,0:06:49.840
Sam smiled, clearly finding his 
tireless enthusiasm adorable. 

0:06:52.240,0:06:56.800
It was one weekend in Paris about two months 
after filming began when Sam suggested that the  

0:06:56.800,0:07:02.480
two of them spend their Saturday doing 
something unexpected, go-cart racing. 

0:07:03.840,0:07:07.200
Todd playfully scoffed at the 
suggestion of actually racing Sam.  

0:07:07.760,0:07:12.320
He knew all too well that few years 
prior, Sam starred in a racing movie  

0:07:12.320,0:07:19.280
and had been trained by professional drivers.
“Come on, it’ll be fun.” Sam promised,  

0:07:19.280,0:07:23.680
“We need a break from all this movie 
crap. You’ll have a blast. I swear it.” 

0:07:25.120,0:07:30.880
Todd arrived at the “Speedy Racers go-cart 
track,” but the large, raceway was eerily quiet. 

0:07:31.920,0:07:35.440
Where are all the people? The 
staff, the guests, the cars racing? 

0:07:36.720,0:07:41.840
Across the room, he spotted Sam. Instant relief 
came over him as and made his way over to greet  

0:07:41.840,0:07:46.320
his boss. “What’s up with this place being empty? 
I thought it was abandoned when I walked in.” 

0:07:47.200,0:07:49.840
“I rented the whole place out, so we 
could race without being disturbed.  

0:07:50.640,0:07:55.040
Did you think I could have the public here with us 
as I tried to relax? Plus, I thought it would be  

0:07:55.040,0:08:00.560
more fun if it was just, you and I on the track.” 
Sam flashed him a multi-million-dollar smile.  

0:08:01.360,0:08:06.000
Todd quickly remembered why Sam was a movie 
star. “Come on, here’s a jumper, let’s get  

0:08:06.000,0:08:12.320
changed and race!” He excitedly tossed him a 
helmet to go along with the protective overalls. 

0:08:12.320,0:08:17.040
Todd found an empty locker for his phone and 
personal effects. He kicked off his shoes and  

0:08:17.040,0:08:21.920
stepped into the protective jumper. Although 
it was a medium, it easily fit over his jeans.  

0:08:22.880,0:08:26.560
A casual glance over to the next 
locker revealed Sam folding his  

0:08:26.560,0:08:30.000
jeans and t-shirt carefully placing 
them on the top shelf of the locker.  

0:08:31.200,0:08:36.720
Todd stopped dead in his tracks. His expression 
was something between surprise and confusion. 

0:08:37.760,0:08:43.600
Sam stood confidently in his white cotton 
briefs, fully disrobed. There was no denying  

0:08:43.600,0:08:49.840
he looked ridiculously sexy. His body 
was perfectly proportioned and resembled  

0:08:49.840,0:08:55.200
a Greek statue carved of marble.
As Todd gasped at the sight of him,  

0:08:55.200,0:08:59.360
he somehow managed to ask his boss, 
“Why are you in your underwear?” 

0:09:00.240,0:09:05.200
Sam chuckled, “I wear as little as I can 
under the jumper, it restricts essential  

0:09:05.200,0:09:12.560
movement needed to maneuver the go-cart.”
Todd wasn’t sold, “Uh, okay. Really?” 

0:09:13.440,0:09:18.080
“Trust me, just briefs are the way to go, but 
your call – whatever makes you most comfortable.” 

0:09:19.520,0:09:25.040
As Todd remained clothed, Sam stepped into the 
jumper adjusted the zipper which was located just  

0:09:25.040,0:09:31.360
below his underwear’s waistband, the unzipped 
jumper made no effort to cover Sam’s muscular  

0:09:31.360,0:09:38.080
chest and six-pack abs. The jumper somehow made 
him look even sexier than the briefs alone. 

0:09:39.360,0:09:46.400
What was happening? Todd was confused.
Was Sam coming onto him? Was he attracted to guys?  

0:09:46.400,0:09:51.920
To Todd? Could this be happening?
Todd wasn’t sure what to do,  

0:09:51.920,0:09:57.760
what to say. He decided there was just one way to 
handle this situation, and that was to address it  

0:09:57.760,0:10:03.840
directly. With a deep breath, he mustered 
the strength to be honest and just say it. 

0:10:05.040,0:10:09.280
“Dude, I’m sorry If I’m being obtuse, but 
are we just two guys racing on a Saturday,  

0:10:09.280,0:10:11.920
or is this another kind of invitation?” 

0:10:13.360,0:10:20.560
Sam stood earnestly looking at Todd, “I know 
you’ve heard all the rumors. The truth is;  

0:10:20.560,0:10:26.000
I like to play with whomever I find fun and 
attractive. You happen to fit that description.  

0:10:26.960,0:10:32.480
If this is something you’d like to happen, 
then I’m up for it, if not. Not a problem.” 

0:10:34.240,0:10:38.560
Todd stood shocked at the relaxed 
tone Sam explained the situation. 

0:10:39.760,0:10:45.120
The world’s sexiest man, the biggest 
movie star in the world… A guy who could  

0:10:45.120,0:10:49.760
sleep with almost anyone on the planet, 
did he really choose him to come onto? 

0:10:51.280,0:10:54.480
What came out of Todd’s mouth 
next surprised both of them,  

0:10:55.600,0:11:00.160
“Make you a deal, let’s race. Winner 
decides what the next move will be.” 

0:11:01.280,0:11:09.440
Sam laughed, “I like that! You’re on!”
Like two flirtatious teens, they jumped in their  

0:11:09.440,0:11:16.640
respective go-cars and waited for the green light 
to illuminate. “GO!” Their engines roared and the  

0:11:16.640,0:11:22.800
two men raced their hearts out around the track.
Around and around, it was neck and neck. With  

0:11:22.800,0:11:27.520
each lap, glances were exchanged 
by both men. In the final round,  

0:11:27.520,0:11:32.720
Sam pulled ahead by a significant margin. It was 
clear that Todd didn’t stand a chance of winning. 

0:11:33.520,0:11:39.120
As the finish line approached. Sam jammed on the 
breaks. His go-cart screaming to a full stop a  

0:11:39.120,0:11:45.440
mere two feet from victory. Todd’s go-cart raced 
by for the easy win as he screamed past the line. 

0:11:46.640,0:11:51.040
Todd jumped from the tiny car and pulled 
off his helmet “You threw the race!  

0:11:51.040,0:11:55.840
We both know that you LET me win!” Todd 
was mildly annoyed at the situation. 

0:11:56.560,0:12:03.440
Sam grinned calmly, “I didn’t throw the 
race, I allowed you to finish first.” 

0:12:04.720,0:12:08.400
Todd didn’t like being patronized. 
“And why would you just let me win?” 

0:12:09.600,0:12:15.840
Confidently his boss replied, “So 
that YOU may decide what WE do next”. 

0:12:17.600,0:12:23.840
Todd’s frustration gave way to an impish smile. He 
understood and appreciated what Sam did for him.  

0:12:24.400,0:12:29.440
How was it possible that the world’s 
hottest guy just got even sexier to him? 

0:12:29.440,0:12:34.400
Back in the locker room, Todd stepped up to his 
boss and grasped the jumpsuit zipper that was  

0:12:34.400,0:12:42.160
pulled up near his neck. He playfully pulled it 
down as slowly as he could. Sam’s jumper opened  

0:12:42.160,0:12:49.280
widely all the way past his belly button. Now 
fully accessible Todd reached into Sam’s briefs. 

0:12:50.400,0:12:53.760
Sam was surprised and delighted 
at Todd’s assertiveness. 

0:12:54.720,0:12:58.480
Todd leaned forward and whispered, “Let’s 
consider that race as just a warm-up.  

0:12:59.120,0:13:05.120
I hope you’re prepared to go a few 
laps with me.” He firmly grasped Sam’s  

0:13:05.120,0:13:10.080
impressive equipment with his hand. “I can 
see that you’re already in ‘Pole position.’” 

0:13:11.280,0:13:16.400
Todd playfully pushed the jumper off of Sam’s 
shoulders causing it to fall to the floor,  

0:13:16.400,0:13:21.120
revealing him standing there once again 
in nothing but his white cotton briefs.  

0:13:22.400,0:13:29.440
Todd leaned forward and kissed Sam passionately.
Sam returned the favor by unzipping Todd’s jumper  

0:13:29.440,0:13:34.240
and asking. “Now don’t you wish 
you took those jeans off earlier?” 

0:13:35.680,0:13:42.080
Todd whispered softly as he kissed Sam even 
deeper. “Nope, I’d prefer you to do it.” 

0:13:43.520,0:13:48.320
Sam happily obliged since it 
was Todd who won the race.
