Confessions of an Action Star (2005)
A 'mockumentary' on the rise and fall of Chip and Dales dancer turned martial arts action star, Francis Allen Sledgewick, AKA Frank Sledge. When fame and fortune caused Frank to lose his sense of what's truly important, he realized he'd have to get in touch with his roots, if there's ever going to be a comeback.
