Big Al by Brian Goluboff

Leo, an amateur writer and Al Pacino’s biggest- you might say obsessed- fan is given the opportunity of a lifetime to write a screenplay for his hero Al. With his good friend, Ricky, the two come up with a plot for the movie while Leo proposes wilder and wilder hypothetical situations about what they may have to do to get the movie made. Making it his reason for living, Leo makes it to clear to Ricky that he is dangerously close to going over the edge.

Characters:

LEO, 27 - 38 M any ethnicity – A wildly obsessed fan of Al Pacino struggling with feelings of suicide and low self-worth who has just stumbled upon the opportunity to make his wildest dreams come true.

RICKY, 27-38 M any ethnicity – Leo’s closest/only friend and fellow wannabe screenwriter. Steady, practical, and grounded, he is concerned when Leo calls him in the middle of the night.
