Tyler is soon joined by his agent, Teddy LaPetite, played by Edgar De La Cruz and then by his Best Supporting Star rival and former series co-star, Kyle Morgan, played by Geoff Higgins.

On the arm of Serenity and Teddy.
Tyler sees Serenity's true colors as he discovers her backstage in an embrace with co-star nemesis Kyle.
Through the chaotic events of the night, which involve his agent, rival, ex-wife, and girl-of-the-moment, Tyler discovers that the petty awards and fame he obsessed over do not matter. Tyler learns that the love of his friends, family, and his ex-wife is far more valuable than the accolades he was pursuing. He learns to let go of his selfish need for recognition, allowing him to truly rest in peace.
