An actor in his own right--he was the original Seymour in "Little Shop of Horrors" and has gone on to depict hundreds of characters on stage and film--Wilkof also brought this interesting, original tale about a group of New York actors to brilliant life. "No Pay, Nudity" underscores the gnawing indignities and undimmable hopes associated with establishing and maintaining an acting career in New York City. Wilkof scored himself an amazing cast for this production, including Nathan Lane, Gabriel Byrne and Frances Conroy, all top practitioners of their craft and all bringing the truth to what this kind of life entails. Taking place mostly in the Actor's Equity Lounge on Times Square, "No Pay, Nudity" takes you inside the day-to-day life (predictable, sometimes dull, occasionally hopeless) as well as the successes (infrequent but overwhelmingly necessary and wonderful) that actors of every stripe must experience if they really want to live life as an actor. Byrne plays a former soap opera star who is attempting a comeback of sorts and lands one playing the part of The Fool in a Dayton, OH production of "King Lear." Meanwhile, a friend of his scores a surprise role in a movie, another friend scores great notices in a play, and a newcomer similarly gets cast in that same production. One senses the petty jealousies, the self-inflicted pressure to succeed, and the bitterness, but this is NOT a depressing movie! Rather, it's necessary and real, a character study with gentle teeth. You won't watch any movie, play, or TV show the same way again, knowing what kind of effort is necessary to even land a role in the first place. There's a scene where Byrne's character auditions for a couple of casting directors that has more truth in it than the whole of an inside showbiz movie like "La La Land." Conroy and Lane play characters who might have given up on the dream but not the life, providing a unique take that you don't often see depicted. I also loved the supporting cast, including the actresses playing Byrne's daughter and girlfriend, and my perennial favorite Ellen Foley even shows up in a small part. In total, "No Pay, Nudity" provides a careful, yet entertaining meditation on showbiz life, warts and all, with a dollop of love for its characters and its milieu. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Good cast, excellent study of what it takes to keep doing in the acting biz *by A***K on Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2021* A thoughtful portrait of a not-particularly likable actor who discovers that he has to work through his envy and disappointment in order to keep doing what he was born to do. As he develops into a more mature, personally responsible, and reliable human being, he finds that he makes his own opportunities and gets by with the input and support of his community of fellow actors. Everyone in it is quite good. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars ” I like this film because it makes an important statement about ... *by R***T on Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2017* The dialog of Woody Allen meets the humor of Seinfeld and the behind the scenes realism of The Larry Sanders Show in director Lee Wilkof’s and writer Ethan Sandler’s “No Pay, Nudity.” I like this film because it makes an important statement about professionalism. It’s a story about “between projects” New York City actors hanging out in the Actor’s Equity lounge, looking for auditions and trading banter. The main character, Lester (Gabriel Byrne) becomes bitter, self-pitied, and envious of other actors’ successes. Herschel (Nathan Lane) confronts him about it. But redemption does not occur until Lester learns the meaning of self-fulfillment from a heartland piano teacher. Lee’s direction and Byne’s acting create an empathic character in Lester that draws you in, he takes on an “Everyman” persona. Now it’s not just about actors and their professional rivalries, but by extension any occupation. The music is very pleasing, mostly classical and much of it original, and it is well-synced to the nuances of the story. By the way, there is some strong language but no nudity. The title comes from an employment notice that attracts the attention of a newbie actor who is admonished by Herschel not to respond to it. Teina and I have relatively few DVDs in our collection, but this one we will keep. This is not a suspense thriller so I hope I didn’t give too much away! The enjoyment is in the watching. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/117116882-no-pay-nudity-blu-ray](https://www.desertcart.be/products/117116882-no-pay-nudity-blu-ray) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-05-12*
