What would you do?



Michael Dorsey is an actor living and working in New York City. Michael who has a bad reputation and is desperate; he can't find a job seeks out a way to land a role. He gets a female role in a soap opera and becomes bert famous. He lands a part time daytime drama. Dorsey loses himself in this woman role and essentially becomes Dorothy Michaels, captivating women all around the city and inspiring them to break free from the control of men and become more like Dorsey's initial Identity. This newfound role, however, lands Dorsey in a hot spot between a female friend/ lover, a female co star he falls in love with him, and a male co star who yearns his affections.  “…working for the same company for a lifetime are long gone and in some industries having one job for a significant period of time is frowned upon rather than considered an asset.” What Michael Dorsey did in my opinion was a good idea. Michael took matters into his own hands. His agent didn't have the urgency to find Michael Dorsey a role so he took it upon himself to find his own.  The only thing I can think of that Michael Dorsey could've done different was to approach his friends right away about the part and let Julie know she really was a guy. That way Michael would've been able to find a way to let Julie know his feelings as a man without ruining their friendship. "An unemployed actor with a reputation for being difficult disguises himself as a woman to get a role in a soap opera."
