“One man, many voices. None of them his own.”
Synopsis
Al Pacino, Sean Connery and Arnold Schwarzenegger together on film for the first time. Well, almost...Ralph Easton has a few personal problems, he's desperately overweight, a social misfit, and a painful stutterer. Ralph's the kind of guy the nerds stole lunch money from. But Ralph's got a special talent - an ability to impersonate any Hollywood celebrity - the perfect cover to disguise his stutter.
