Limey Goes to Hollywood	comment	A rather common thing for British actors and those of other nationalities to do: decide that they could be better served in their career by going to Los Angeles. It's the most influential and pervasive film industry in the world. If you want to be not just a national but an international star you pretty much have to spend at least some time there. In addition, you can always come back to the U.K. and use the money from the States for British TV, indies, and theater. The popularity of British actors is also due to the fact that they are a) cheaper, b) less likely to be doing films (though that's less and less the case) and c) less likely to be barred from gay roles by their agents. And then there's this final selling point for the Hollywood studios, probably the most important: They speak English! Oddly, Brits and Europeans seem to have an above average chance of playing villains or jerks... See Fake American for when they put on the accent as well.

Limey Goes to Hollywood / int_9eacb229	comment	In The TV Set Ioan Gruffudd plays Richard McCallister, a TV executive who moves from England to Los Angeles to take a job as second-in-command at a fictional TV network, which is headed by Lenny (Sigourney Weaver). Richard tries to counter-balance Lenny's fervent desire for high ratings by emphasizing the need for quality programming and preserving the writer's wishes. Richard's wife Chloe, played by Lucy Davis, hates Los Angeles and eventually leaves Richard to return to England.

He's eventually able to go because of donations from the community and he's shown doing odd jobs at the Walk of Fame. Whether or not he actually becomes famous is left up in the air.
