- A Chance to Shine in the "Role of a Lifetime"
Scott Bakula turns in a bravura performance in "Role of a Lifetime." The range of characters he demonstrates is reminiscent of his days in "Quantum Leap" - the man is amazing. Bakula plays an over-the-hill actor who is presumed dead. He returns, unrecognized, to test for the role he was born to play: himself! The biopic is being written and directed by his ex-wife. Along the way, he begins to see himself as others had seen him. Lessons will be learned all around. Fans of Bakula will thoroughly enjoy this film.

He returns to Hollywood to discover his ex-wife is writing and directing a movie about his life. His ego being slightly larger than his intellect, Cellini decides to audition for the role of himself, reasoning that nobody can play him better than himself. Although his best friend cautions that this is a very bad idea, Cellini takes on a stage name and gets the role.
What follows is reminiscent of Ebeneezer Scrooge getting a look at his life in A Christmas Carol; Cellini sees the "high points" of his life and his relationship with his wife, Chelsea, from her point of view, and it's not flattering. We ... Read More

- This movie is good
Once it got going, you could see Scott Bakula the way we're used to seeing him in his Quantum Leap role...full of emotion, a character that you grow to love, etc. I really loved the way he connected with the man at the bus stop, the story line between those two characters, and how that part of the movie shows what a big impact one person (no matter how "great" or "small") can make on other people's lives. Something else it really makes you think about is..."What will people say about YOU when you're gone?"
