Jamie is caught in the middle of the chaos and he starts to realize that the acting industry isn’t as glamorous as he had originally thought. He learns that drama and chaos can quickly overshadow any joy that comes with the job, and he wonders if becoming an actor is really the best choice for him.

In the end, Jamie realizes that while he may not always love the acting gigs he’s booked, his passion for the craft never wavers. He decides that he’s not going to let the drama surrounding the commercial get to him and he embraces the opportunity to act, even if it’s not the most desired role.
