Hollywood Shuffle (1987)
Aspirant-acteur en hotdog-kraammedewerker Bobby Taylor krijgt de woede van zijn grootmoeder over zich heen omdat hij auditie doet voor een rol in de exploitatiefilm 'Jivetime Jimmy's Revenge'. Wanneer Tinseltown Studios Taylor in de titelrol cast, heeft hij een reeks tegenstrijdige dromen waarin Afrikaans-Amerikaanse stereotypen in Hollywood worden gehekeld, en moet hij zijn carrièredoelen verzoenen met zijn verlangen om een positief rolmodel voor zijn kleine broertje te blijven.
