0:00:03 > 0:00:06This is kind of where it started.
0:00:06 > 0:00:08I was actually sitting here, Marty was sitting there
0:00:08 > 0:00:11and he was just back from filming in Berlin -
0:00:11 > 0:00:13playing a part in Cloud Atlas with a lot of big stars. He was buzzing.
0:00:13 > 0:00:15He was totally buzzing.
0:00:15 > 0:00:17He was just back and it had been a great job
0:00:17 > 0:00:19working with great actors and all that,
0:00:19 > 0:00:22and he had lots of great stories - so I just naturally said to him,
0:00:22 > 0:00:24"You've got to go to the premiere, that would be great.
0:00:24 > 0:00:26"You've got to get out to LA and go to the premiere.
0:00:26 > 0:00:28He was like, "No way, man. I can't afford it.
0:00:28 > 0:00:30"There's no way I can afford to go to the premiere."
0:00:30 > 0:00:32I went to the toilet and phoned you.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34- You phoned me.- I phoned you.
0:00:34 > 0:00:38You said to me, "Marty has just come back from making Cloud Atlas
0:00:38 > 0:00:41"playing Tom Hanks' Irish brother.
0:00:41 > 0:00:43"He wants to go to the premiere, but he can't afford it.
0:00:43 > 0:00:48"Let's make a film where we never accept no for an answer."
0:00:48 > 0:00:51We had written a song on the banjo and the guitar.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54This was the beginning of our journey.
0:00:54 > 0:00:56Tonight, downstairs, in the State Bar.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59Marty Goes To Hollywood shall be, indeed, launched.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01The show will resume in two minutes,
0:01:01 > 0:01:02we are going to resume in two minutes.
0:01:02 > 0:01:06Do you really want me to go up there and say why we are doing this?
0:01:06 > 0:01:09Put your hands together for Martyn and Ian.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12APPLAUSE
0:01:12 > 0:01:15# There was a young man from Castlemilk
0:01:15 > 0:01:17# Called Martin Docherty... #
0:01:17 > 0:01:19That's him.
0:01:19 > 0:01:24# He was born roundabout January 1973
0:01:27 > 0:01:29# Well, he played a lot of football
0:01:29 > 0:01:33# But he wasn't as good as you or me... #
0:01:33 > 0:01:34Actually, he was quite good.
0:01:34 > 0:01:39# But when he started acting, he was better than anyone from Glee. #
0:01:39 > 0:01:41LAUGHTER
0:01:41 > 0:01:43I am Martin Docherty.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45I am 38 years of age.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47I have been a professional actor now for 15 years.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50I was born and bred right here
0:01:50 > 0:01:52in sunny Castlemilk.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54The last six years, I done quite a lot of TV.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57I've been in most of the TV programmes in Scotland
0:01:57 > 0:02:00like Still Game, Rab C Nesbitt,
0:02:00 > 0:02:02River City, Gary Tank Commander,
0:02:02 > 0:02:03Dear Green Place -
0:02:03 > 0:02:06so I think I would possibly be a little bit recognisable
0:02:06 > 0:02:08for people, for being on BBC.
0:02:08 > 0:02:09# His first role was in Oliver
0:02:09 > 0:02:11# The Artful Dodger, he did play
0:02:14 > 0:02:18# Which was the first of many character roles to come his way... #
0:02:18 > 0:02:21I mean, what would you cast him as?
0:02:21 > 0:02:22Guess what he's played.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25# He's played junkies, drugs, drugs and junkies
0:02:25 > 0:02:26# And a junkie too... #
0:02:26 > 0:02:27LAUGHTER
0:02:27 > 0:02:30Keep your shitty bike, prick.
0:02:30 > 0:02:31# He even got a recall
0:02:31 > 0:02:34# For an advert about Irn-Bru
0:02:34 > 0:02:37# Won't you get Marty to Hollywood?
0:02:37 > 0:02:41# That would put the wee guy in an awfy good mood
0:02:41 > 0:02:46# If you've got some money, spread your wealth
0:02:46 > 0:02:49# Cos wee Marty from Castlemilk
0:02:49 > 0:02:51# He hasn't got money himself. #
0:02:51 > 0:02:53LAUGHTER
0:02:57 > 0:02:59Wahey!
0:02:59 > 0:03:05Wahey!
0:03:11 > 0:03:16PAPARAZZI CLAMOUR
0:03:17 > 0:03:21HE SCREAMS
0:03:27 > 0:03:29HE SIGHS
0:03:40 > 0:03:44Well, my low points are when you're just not getting any work
0:03:44 > 0:03:47and you have to do so many other things to get your money on
0:03:47 > 0:03:49and keep you going.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51The more you spend at doing those things,
0:03:51 > 0:03:53the less you start to believe you're an actor,
0:03:53 > 0:03:55because you start to believe that you do this job.
0:03:55 > 0:03:56It is a pretty hard and lonely game.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58Sometimes you can be sitting in the house,
0:03:58 > 0:04:01you've not worked for a year,
0:04:01 > 0:04:03the auditions aren't very big or very good
0:04:03 > 0:04:07and you're not doing very well at them either, that's the other thing.
0:04:07 > 0:04:08When you're not doing very well,
0:04:08 > 0:04:12you tend not to do well at your auditions because your charisma,
0:04:12 > 0:04:15your personality, your confidence just isn't there.
0:04:15 > 0:04:16You've got to get up and do something,
0:04:16 > 0:04:19you've got to read a play or go to the theatre, turn on Radio Four
0:04:19 > 0:04:21and listen to something,
0:04:21 > 0:04:23sight-read the newspaper.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26I also sing in a restaurant at weekends.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29Friday, Saturday nights - I sing in a tiny, little restaurant.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31It holds about 40 people.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33With a wee laptop and a hard drive, and a small PA,
0:04:33 > 0:04:35no microphone or anything.
0:04:36 > 0:04:40# Sing us a song, you're the piano man
0:04:40 > 0:04:45# Sing us a song tonight... #
0:04:45 > 0:04:46Hi, maw.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49BUZZER
0:04:49 > 0:04:51Lovely to see you.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53- Are you all right? - I'm fine.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56From a toddler,
0:04:56 > 0:04:57he was just up to everything.
0:04:57 > 0:05:01Constantly singing, constantly make-believing.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03He even had a friend...
0:05:03 > 0:05:05that was actually an invisible friend.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08There's a few things about Marty's acting style.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10For one, he's very authentic.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12He's very sharp.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15So we've set up all the gear and the DJ's sweating
0:05:15 > 0:05:17because he can't find Wonderful Tonight -
0:05:17 > 0:05:18because that's the first song.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21My brother had that at his first two weddings.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24Marty's got a lot of presence on camera.
0:05:24 > 0:05:25I have seen him on stage.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27I have seen him doing Greek tragedy,
0:05:27 > 0:05:28I've seen him doing pantomime,
0:05:28 > 0:05:31I've seen them doing comedy stuff on stage -
0:05:31 > 0:05:35but on camera, not everybody has got that, but Marty has.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38I think he is one of these people who is a born actor.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41Last year, I made a huge leap
0:05:41 > 0:05:45and I had a casting for a feature film, made by Warner Brothers.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47I was up to play Tom Hanks' Irish brother.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53Which, I didn't think I had any idea of getting.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55The people in reading before me and after me
0:05:55 > 0:05:56were nothing like me at all.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59They were older, bigger - a lot bigger -
0:05:59 > 0:06:02and I just thought it was one of those auditions you go for
0:06:02 > 0:06:03and you'll never, ever hear again.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05I got recalled for it to London,
0:06:05 > 0:06:07to a posh hotel in Covent Garden,
0:06:07 > 0:06:10and it was only five of us left for three parts.
0:06:11 > 0:06:16Somehow, the gods shined on me a wee bit and I managed to pull it off.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20Consequently, I had a scene with Jim Broadbent
0:06:20 > 0:06:23and another scene with Hugo Weaving.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25If you told me that, even two years ago,
0:06:25 > 0:06:28I would have said you were crazy.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31Opportunities like this maybe don't come along...
0:06:32 > 0:06:35..at all, never mind very often.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38I think the chance to go to a premiere of this movie
0:06:38 > 0:06:40would be something I would really have to try and take.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42I'm sure we'll be invited.
0:06:42 > 0:06:46General, we better go down and see Warner Brothers about this premiere.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48Good idea, Bussy.
0:06:48 > 0:06:52Hello, hello. Can I speak to somebody dead important?
0:06:52 > 0:06:54Somebody connected with that big film, Cloud Atlas?
0:06:54 > 0:06:57LOONEY TUNES THEME PLAYS
0:07:00 > 0:07:02So we are kind of making an observational,
0:07:02 > 0:07:04life-of-an-actor type story.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06In style, I would say it is like Anvil meets...
0:07:06 > 0:07:08Shut it, Bussy.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10Look, big man, can we film at your premiere?
0:07:10 > 0:07:12Hmm.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14That sounds like a lovely idea.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16I'll do everything I can to help.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21It's a week since the comedy club, roughly,
0:07:21 > 0:07:25the clip's now online and Marty's Facebook site has been started.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29We have created an Indiegogo site.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31Fundraising campaign website is live.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33We have an Indiegogo.
0:07:33 > 0:07:37I'm just trying to find the number for Alex Salmond's office...
0:07:38 > 0:07:40..in Edinburgh.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45Right, OK, I'll go back to them.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48All right, thank you.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50He's a hard man to find, big Eck.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53So, here we are, outside the world-famous Daily Record -
0:07:53 > 0:07:56Scotland's national newspaper, some would argue.
0:07:56 > 0:07:57What were they like?
0:07:57 > 0:07:59I mean, obviously that's a great experience in itself.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02All get behind Marty, because it's going to work
0:08:02 > 0:08:05and, when he makes it, he better remember who his friends are.
0:08:05 > 0:08:10This is going to 653,000 people.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12Here we are on a...
0:08:12 > 0:08:15beautiful Glasgow Wednesday morning.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17Outside the City Chambers, about to meet the Lady Provost,
0:08:17 > 0:08:19which is very exciting.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21Now we've got the Sunday Mail involved
0:08:21 > 0:08:22and we're getting other people involved.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24What happens if I'm not in this thing?
0:08:24 > 0:08:27And the next day you're like that, "You're in the trailer."
0:08:27 > 0:08:30We're just going into an ISDN link to Radio Clyde.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32I thought it was a once in a lifetime opportunity
0:08:32 > 0:08:36for Martin to get to Hollywood and that was why,
0:08:36 > 0:08:38when he'd asked me and approached me,
0:08:38 > 0:08:43I thought it was right that I would help support him.
0:08:43 > 0:08:44HE EXHALES
0:08:44 > 0:08:47Nae word from Rob on those tickets yet, Bussy?
0:08:47 > 0:08:49Naw.
0:08:49 > 0:08:50Hello?
0:08:50 > 0:08:52Hello, Rob, it's Bussy.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54Any word in the premiere tickets yet, big man?
0:08:54 > 0:08:56Hi, Bussy.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59The request has gone through but no feedback yet.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01I'll keep you posted.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03Another like, but still nae dosh.
0:09:09 > 0:09:13Our campaign was getting lots of attention, but very little money.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16We went to Real Radio as a last gasp attempt
0:09:16 > 0:09:18to get Marty to the red carpet.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21HE LIP-SYNCS
0:09:21 > 0:09:22Good morning to you, Scotland.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24If you've just joined us,
0:09:24 > 0:09:26Scottish actor Marty Docherty
0:09:26 > 0:09:28is in the studio with us this morning.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30So, you're desperate to get to Hollywood
0:09:30 > 0:09:33to walk the red carpet with your co-stars
0:09:33 > 0:09:35- in the big blockbuster Cloud Atlas.- Absolutely.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38So, you need £2,000 and... What else do you need?
0:09:38 > 0:09:40You've not got anything to wear, is that right?
0:09:40 > 0:09:43- Well, aye, we could do with a kilt. - LAUGHTER
0:09:43 > 0:09:46- So, you've not got any kilts... - No.- ..and you need £2,000.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49This is beginning to sound like a bit of a scam, boys.
0:09:49 > 0:09:50LAUGHTER
0:09:50 > 0:09:52Marty, tell me,
0:09:52 > 0:09:55how will you be representing Scotland if you get to Hollywood?
0:09:55 > 0:09:57What do you mean?
0:09:57 > 0:09:58Will you be partying till 6am?
0:09:58 > 0:10:01- Oh, no. I'll be on my best behaviour.- No, we want you to.
0:10:01 > 0:10:02Oh, right, OK.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05Well, whatever you want me to do for the £2,000, I will do it.
0:10:05 > 0:10:09Cameron Ross Kilt Hire has just given us a little call,
0:10:09 > 0:10:11you might not be going to Hollywood, but four kilts are!
0:10:11 > 0:10:13CHEERING
0:10:13 > 0:10:15# Marty got a break
0:10:15 > 0:10:18# And a film with big Tom Hanks
0:10:18 > 0:10:23# They asked him to play Tam's brother and Marty said, "Aye, thanks"
0:10:23 > 0:10:30# There's Susan Sarandon, Halle Berry and Jim Broadbent too
0:10:30 > 0:10:32# On the set, Marty offered Halle
0:10:32 > 0:10:34# A vodka and Irn-Bru
0:10:34 > 0:10:38# Won't you get Marty to Hollywood?
0:10:38 > 0:10:42# That will put the wee guy in a awfy good mood
0:10:42 > 0:10:46# If you've got some money, spread the wealth
0:10:46 > 0:10:50# Because wee Marty from Castlemilk
0:10:50 > 0:10:52# He hasn't got money himself. #
0:10:52 > 0:10:55So, we found ourselves driving to a building site in Helensburgh
0:10:55 > 0:10:58to meet a complete stranger, called Joel Lafferty,
0:10:58 > 0:11:00who had been listening to the radio show.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02Nice to meet you. How's it going, all right?
0:11:02 > 0:11:04- Did you own this space, Joe, or did you...?- Aye.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07Obviously, the front half's going to be the coffee shop.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10- Will we go next door and get a wee drink, guys?- That would be great.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12I've just been a jobbing actor, really.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15Then, last year, I got an audition in Glasgow
0:11:15 > 0:11:17- to be Tom Hanks' Irish brother. - Right.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19A heavy Irish brother.
0:11:19 > 0:11:20The whole thing was just enormous.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22All of a sudden, you're meeting
0:11:22 > 0:11:24all these incredible people.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26As Ian said to me,
0:11:26 > 0:11:28if you cannae go when you're playing Tom Hanks' brother,
0:11:28 > 0:11:30when are you going to be able to go?
0:11:30 > 0:11:32I have been quarantined to a storeroom
0:11:32 > 0:11:35away from the other passengers and crew.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38- IRISH ACCENT:- Where's our money? - LAUGHTER
0:11:38 > 0:11:41Right, you have won my support. Who gets the cheque?
0:11:41 > 0:11:44How amazing. Thank you very, very, very much.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46You are welcome, mate. Good luck to you.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48I can't thank you enough as well.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50- Thanks very much.- Right, pal.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53Appreciate it. Superb.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55How good was that?!
0:11:55 > 0:11:57- What a brilliant guy. - A quality guy.
0:11:57 > 0:11:58This is amazing.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00It sealed the deal.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02So, hopefully, I'll go to the premiere
0:12:02 > 0:12:04and try and mingle with some of the folk,
0:12:04 > 0:12:06maybe make some connections.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08It would be crazy to think that being in one movie,
0:12:08 > 0:12:10and a small part in one movie,
0:12:10 > 0:12:12would then an open up an enormous amount of doors for you
0:12:12 > 0:12:14for Hollywood casting...
0:12:14 > 0:12:17but it's a funny game, acting, you just never know.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19Shall we just go for the full outfit, like that?
0:12:19 > 0:12:22- That's you, Marty. - Yeah, we'll go for that.
0:12:22 > 0:12:26I think we'll all look very good, mate. Very smart indeed.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30I didn't recognise you there.
0:12:30 > 0:12:31Jesus, how are you?
0:12:31 > 0:12:33Fantastic. It's all happening, eh?
0:12:33 > 0:12:35The gas man.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38If he goes on to bigger and better things, more parts in movies,
0:12:38 > 0:12:41if he ends up he's living in Hollywood,
0:12:41 > 0:12:42he's living the dream
0:12:42 > 0:12:44and we can then say, "I know Martin."
0:12:46 > 0:12:47You have done well, boys.
0:12:48 > 0:12:52Hollywood is renowned for plastic people.
0:12:52 > 0:12:57Big tits, false hair, all of that stuff - and Marty is none of that.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59I think he would be a breath of fresh air going there.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02And maybe somebody, because it happens with actors,
0:13:02 > 0:13:04they pick him up.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07Not literally pick him up, because he's quite small.
0:13:07 > 0:13:08It would be easy to do that.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10I mean give him an actual part.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12He gets what he deserves - good parts because he's a good actor.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14There's a lot of actors who are not so great out there.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16It's good to see an actor doing well
0:13:16 > 0:13:18and hopefully he'll get what he wants.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23What about me?
0:13:23 > 0:13:26I've worked with Anne Hathaway, Gary Oldman, Tom Hardy
0:13:26 > 0:13:28and Noel Edmonds and not one fucking person has thought,
0:13:28 > 0:13:30"What about Cammy goes to Hollywood?
0:13:30 > 0:13:31"Cammy goes to fucking Hollywood?"
0:13:31 > 0:13:33Nobody has fucking done anything for me.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35I've come up the hard way as well.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37I have had to be on benefits, fucking wife left me and all that.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40Get to fuck.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42You've got to be careful in Hollywood.
0:13:42 > 0:13:44It's a conveyor belt, you can get used up
0:13:44 > 0:13:46and...you're out the other side.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48Then, where are you?
0:13:48 > 0:13:51Seven days later, you're back here, back in Castlemilk.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53Was it all a dream?
0:13:53 > 0:13:54Did it really happen?
0:13:57 > 0:14:00ALL: Bye!
0:14:10 > 0:14:13I have clarification and it is not good news.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15The producers have said that they are unable
0:14:15 > 0:14:18to accommodate Marty at the US premiere.
0:14:18 > 0:14:20All the best, Rob.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22BUSSY CHUCKLES
0:14:22 > 0:14:25Hollywood, here we come.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27I saw your story on STV this morning
0:14:27 > 0:14:29and you're in the Metro,
0:14:29 > 0:14:32the Sun, the Record...
0:14:32 > 0:14:35Have you secured the tickets through other means?
0:14:35 > 0:14:37'We hope you haven't missed any important e-mails
0:14:37 > 0:14:40'whilst flying with us. We will now begin our descent.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42'Welcome to Hollywood!'
0:14:45 > 0:14:47America.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50Outside that window is America.
0:14:50 > 0:14:53I've never been to America. I'm an American virgin.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59The wee man wants a fag.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01The wee man's desperate for a fag.
0:15:01 > 0:15:02He's ganting for a fag, Bussy.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05- This one?- Yeah, it's a little dirty, though.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07Listen, we're quite dirty.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09- What do you think, Marty?- It's the Batmobile, isn't it, Bussy?
0:15:09 > 0:15:11I'll be right back.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13This is mental. Isn't it?
0:15:15 > 0:15:17We couldn't afford to stay in LA
0:15:17 > 0:15:19so we headed to a friend's house in San Diego.
0:15:19 > 0:15:23Spirits were high as we weren't to receive the e-mail from Rob
0:15:23 > 0:15:24until the next morning.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32We need to start our pressure on Warner Brothers on this side today,
0:15:32 > 0:15:34cos I don't think Rob is going to do anything about it.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37He might, but it's certainly not something we can rely on.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39The last e-mail suggests to me that...
0:15:39 > 0:15:42I think he's going to give it up now.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45I don't think he's going to give it up, I think he just hopes that
0:15:45 > 0:15:47we go out here and nothing happens.
0:15:47 > 0:15:51- There is a possibility he'll just ignore our e-mails anyway.- Yep.
0:15:51 > 0:15:52So...
0:15:52 > 0:15:55We need to put some pressure on them, starting today.
0:15:55 > 0:15:56Aye, we need... Aye.
0:15:59 > 0:16:00What a big car.
0:16:02 > 0:16:03It is a fucking massive car.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05Guys, I had an amazing dream last night.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07I dreamt that I woke up and we were in LA,
0:16:07 > 0:16:08and we had a big, massive car.
0:16:08 > 0:16:12- Oh, hang on.- Bussy, it's the truth.- Oh, wow.
0:16:12 > 0:16:16Please bear with me while I adjust to the other side of the road.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22Day one.
0:16:22 > 0:16:23We've fucked the car.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28They shouldn't have given us such an expensive car.
0:16:29 > 0:16:33You never have total big smashes - like, exciting smashes.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36- You always have wee bangs. - Shit fucking kerb dunce.
0:16:40 > 0:16:44Marty had a daylong session at the Acting Centre on Hollywood Boulevard.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48We were late because we crashed the car
0:16:48 > 0:16:50and Marty had to partner with Bussy
0:16:50 > 0:16:53for the warm up and the first exercise.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55One of the first drills you're going to do
0:16:55 > 0:16:57is actually going out and talking to people.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00Talking to real people and getting insight into who they are.
0:17:00 > 0:17:04It's Hollywood so you're going to meet some great people.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06For the first exercise,
0:17:06 > 0:17:08Marty and Bussy were sent out on
0:17:08 > 0:17:11the streets of LA to talk to people.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13- Are you from Los Angeles? - Of course. Hollywood, man.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15They then had to capture the essence of the person
0:17:15 > 0:17:18and perform it back to each other.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20BUSSY: Do you like LA? Love it. Do you?
0:17:20 > 0:17:22What's so good about it?
0:17:22 > 0:17:25Well, the weather and the palm trees.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29One of the philosophies of the Acting Centre
0:17:29 > 0:17:30was that you couldn't be critical
0:17:30 > 0:17:32so, at the end of any performance,
0:17:32 > 0:17:35you had to tell your partner that they were good.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44HE GRUNTS
0:17:49 > 0:17:51Come on! More! More!
0:17:54 > 0:17:57There are occasional lucky people
0:17:57 > 0:17:59who meet one guy at a coffee shop
0:17:59 > 0:18:01and suddenly their whole career is made, but that's very rare.
0:18:01 > 0:18:05Usually, you've got to find a good acting class, such as...
0:18:05 > 0:18:06I love this place.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09You have to make sure that you get great head shots
0:18:09 > 0:18:12and then you have to know and be willing to...
0:18:12 > 0:18:14meet people.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17- I don't know what to do. - Maybe you should phone someone.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20I have! I've been calling my sister!
0:18:20 > 0:18:23Listen to what I'm telling you, please.
0:18:23 > 0:18:24I'm sorry.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26All right, cut.
0:18:26 > 0:18:30APPLAUSE
0:18:30 > 0:18:34You know, just deciding that you're going to help your mate out.
0:18:34 > 0:18:38Putting that idea forward to get him here -
0:18:38 > 0:18:42that alone - because it's such a very wonderful idea
0:18:42 > 0:18:45and such a helpful, fun thing to do for a friend -
0:18:45 > 0:18:47creates opportunities.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49We just wanted to say thank you.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51It's been really lovely having us.
0:18:55 > 0:18:59We got a message from Craig Young, who runs Brits In LA,
0:18:59 > 0:19:02giving Marty and introduction to Louisa Spring -
0:19:02 > 0:19:04who runs Spring Management Agency.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11Hello, Louisa?
0:19:11 > 0:19:13Hi, my name's Martin. Martin Docherty.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16I got your number from Craig, who runs Brits In LA.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23Oh, sorry, is that not good at all? I do apologise.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31Oh, sorry, I do apologise about that.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45Yes.
0:19:53 > 0:19:54Yes.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58Will I call you tomorrow?
0:19:59 > 0:20:02Any time from the afternoon onwards, Louisa, would be great
0:20:02 > 0:20:04but any time that would suit you also.
0:20:04 > 0:20:08Thank you very much, Louisa. Sorry for calling you so late.
0:20:08 > 0:20:09OK, bye.
0:20:14 > 0:20:15Wasn't a good start.
0:20:16 > 0:20:20We were invited to a party in West Hollywood at the Palais Hotel.
0:20:20 > 0:20:24The party was full of leading people from the film industry,
0:20:24 > 0:20:26so we weren't allowed to film inside.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28By complete chance,
0:20:28 > 0:20:30Louisa Spring was there.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33- So, you're Marty Docherty.- Yeah.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35Nice to meet you, I'm Louisa Spring.
0:20:36 > 0:20:40- Hello.- So, why the fuck did you call me at 7pm on a Sunday night?
0:20:40 > 0:20:44- Eh...- That really pissed me off.
0:20:44 > 0:20:45But I have you say,
0:20:45 > 0:20:47you've got great cheekbones.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51She came over later on and said,
0:20:51 > 0:20:53"Does anyone have a fag?"
0:20:53 > 0:20:55I said, "I've got a fag."
0:20:55 > 0:20:57Obviously, "I've got a fag, Louisa. I've got a fag."
0:20:57 > 0:20:59She went, "Let's go for a fag then."
0:20:59 > 0:21:03Then she said, "You know, I'm a manager to some of the top stars.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07She went, "So I'd really like to manage you."
0:21:07 > 0:21:09- Marry you?- "Manage you!"
0:21:10 > 0:21:14"I'd really like to manage you."
0:21:14 > 0:21:16I thought you got a marriage proposal...
0:21:16 > 0:21:18That would have been nice.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20I would have married her if it meant she took me on.
0:21:20 > 0:21:24But I think her husband might have something to say about that.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26She sat me down and she said, "I'd love to.
0:21:26 > 0:21:32"I know I have all these big stars and therefore...
0:21:32 > 0:21:33"for some reason," she said,
0:21:33 > 0:21:35"I would love to manage you because of that."
0:21:35 > 0:21:38Wednesday night, you'll be walking down the red carpet
0:21:38 > 0:21:39going to the premiere.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41Well, if I'm not then...
0:21:42 > 0:21:45..it would be incredibly disappointing,
0:21:45 > 0:21:48incredibly disappointing if I don't walk down the red carpet.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56Today is the day...
0:21:57 > 0:22:00..we take on the might of Warner Brothers.
0:22:00 > 0:22:02Indeed.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07All right, pal.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09The travelling's killing us, so we're going to move
0:22:09 > 0:22:10into LA a night earlier.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13Just so that we can chill a wee bit,
0:22:13 > 0:22:15because if we don't get back till 4am, then we get three hours kip
0:22:15 > 0:22:17and we're away.
0:22:17 > 0:22:19Things are also starting to happen now, for Marty,
0:22:19 > 0:22:22in terms of the people he's meeting,
0:22:22 > 0:22:24so we really need to be in the centre of LA,
0:22:24 > 0:22:26so he can jump out and have a meeting
0:22:26 > 0:22:30and speak to the kind of folk that he's starting to get in front of.
0:22:30 > 0:22:34Our new base in LA was called the Banana Bungalow,
0:22:34 > 0:22:37a luxury hotel, six foot wide, by six foot long -
0:22:37 > 0:22:40with bunk beds and no locks on the doors.
0:22:40 > 0:22:42The premiere was now two days away.
0:22:42 > 0:22:47We decided to let Rob know about some of Marty's messages of support.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50Rob, we're having a great time here in LA,
0:22:50 > 0:22:52but we still have not got any tickets for the premiere.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55Marty is making some friends in high places though.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58Alex Salmond here, the First Minister of Scotland.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01I'm delighted to send a message of support from Holyrood
0:23:01 > 0:23:04for Martin Docherty's quest to reach the red carpet.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08My grandfather was Jack Warner.
0:23:08 > 0:23:12Jack Warner founded Warner Brothers.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15I have to say that the determination and initiative
0:23:15 > 0:23:18shown by Marty and his friends
0:23:18 > 0:23:20is every bit as impressive
0:23:20 > 0:23:23as that of Merida in Brave.
0:23:23 > 0:23:27My grandfather founded the studio with this motto,
0:23:27 > 0:23:32"Never give up on one's dreams, no matter what the odds."
0:23:34 > 0:23:38OK, we have got potentially two ways into Tom Hanks.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40One through Christine
0:23:40 > 0:23:43and one through Marty turning up on the doorstep.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45Then we've got Bussy and Martyn
0:23:45 > 0:23:47on the phone to Warner Brothers
0:23:47 > 0:23:49and that could result in Tom Hanks,
0:23:49 > 0:23:51and it could result in the premiere.
0:23:51 > 0:23:56And here we have the thing that I think will get us there,
0:23:56 > 0:24:02and it's going to be something completely fucking random.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04How do you think I look, Chris? All right?
0:24:04 > 0:24:06- Very suave. - Thank you, sir.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08You look like James Bond.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10A wee, mini, Castlemilk James Bond?
0:24:10 > 0:24:12- Definitely.- James Bond.
0:24:12 > 0:24:13Jimmy Bond, know what I mean?
0:24:22 > 0:24:23- Nice to meet you.- Nice to meet you.
0:24:23 > 0:24:26- Thank you for taking the time to see me.- Sure.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29Now, as far as... Are you going to come back to America?
0:24:29 > 0:24:31- Like, you'll come back to Los Angeles?- We would love to.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34I'm meeting a manager later on today,
0:24:34 > 0:24:37so I'm on a slightly tight schedule.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40I'm meeting her and I think it will depend on that.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42- Who are you meeting?- Louisa Spring.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44Good. She represents quite a...
0:24:44 > 0:24:46Yeah, she has got a really... A lot of great clients.
0:24:46 > 0:24:51- Take a look at this.- OK.- Go outside and work on it for five minutes.
0:24:51 > 0:24:54- Whatever you feel like till you're ready.- "The Western Director."
0:24:54 > 0:24:55You don't have to do American.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58Just have fun with it. It's a comedy thing we did a while back.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01We genuinely don't have any tickets to the premiere at the moment
0:25:01 > 0:25:04- and that is... - A big problem.- ..not great.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13All right, when I say action,
0:25:13 > 0:25:14I want you, blondie,
0:25:14 > 0:25:15to climb to that second storey,
0:25:15 > 0:25:18but Lex is going to try and stop you.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20You pick up a chair, you crack it over his back,
0:25:20 > 0:25:22then use the broken chair leg to impale Rich.
0:25:22 > 0:25:24- That sounds violent. - Damn skippy it is.
0:25:24 > 0:25:27Now, as you start to climb, Billy is going to grab you by the ankle
0:25:27 > 0:25:29and fling you onto that horse trough over there.
0:25:29 > 0:25:34- And the inside of it is made of some special, soft...- Wood.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36I think it's pine. Now, that's a soft wood.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39Meanwhile, YOU, come out those doors, all guns a-blazing.
0:25:39 > 0:25:42Obviously, you know, he can play the annoying guy -
0:25:42 > 0:25:44that is what he seemed like in that.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47Maybe the nerdy guy or...
0:25:47 > 0:25:48Then I had the thought that
0:25:48 > 0:25:50maybe he would be, like, in...
0:25:50 > 0:25:52like Billy Elliot.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54That kind of...
0:25:54 > 0:25:55One of those workers.
0:25:55 > 0:25:56The blue-collar worker guys.
0:25:56 > 0:26:01So, let's make some calls and get on the social networks again
0:26:01 > 0:26:04and try and push these contacts.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07Yeah, and I think tomorrow,
0:26:07 > 0:26:09the Brits In LA thing...
0:26:09 > 0:26:13It's our objective to go there and find anybody that knows anybody at
0:26:13 > 0:26:18- Warner Brothers and talk to every single person in there.- Yeah.
0:26:18 > 0:26:20This is the Fred Segal Cafe
0:26:20 > 0:26:22on Melrose Avenue
0:26:22 > 0:26:25where I'm meeting a manager called Louisa Spring,
0:26:25 > 0:26:30who seems quite a big manager -
0:26:30 > 0:26:34in the sense, she's got some really big names on her books.
0:26:34 > 0:26:35It's quite an important meeting
0:26:35 > 0:26:37so, for that reason,
0:26:37 > 0:26:39we're not going to be able to film because I think it might...
0:26:39 > 0:26:43It might not do anything for us and I don't want to hinder ourselves
0:26:43 > 0:26:45or harm ourselves in any way.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47Chris is going to wait here, I'm going to go in for the meeting
0:26:47 > 0:26:50and when I come back out, I'll let you know how it goes.
0:26:50 > 0:26:53- All right, pal?- Good luck, Marty. - No bother. Cheers, mate.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55It was good and bad, mate. Good and bad.
0:26:58 > 0:27:01Turned up, met her and said, "It's a bit warm, isn't it?"
0:27:01 > 0:27:04She said, "Well, you're wearing a three-piece suit,
0:27:04 > 0:27:05"what do you expect?"
0:27:05 > 0:27:08She went, "However, I am impressed that you wore a suit."
0:27:10 > 0:27:11Then she said...
0:27:11 > 0:27:14I told the story about Warner Brothers...
0:27:14 > 0:27:16and the premiere
0:27:16 > 0:27:19and she said it was breaking her heart,
0:27:19 > 0:27:21so she asked the assistant, Tommy,
0:27:21 > 0:27:23to put a call into Warner Brothers to try and see
0:27:23 > 0:27:26if the contact they've got, if they can help.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28Then she asked my age, I said "38,"
0:27:28 > 0:27:32she said, "I think you look 45."
0:27:32 > 0:27:35She thinks my showreel is pretty bad. Certainly the first scene.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40The headshot has to be colour.
0:27:43 > 0:27:45Then she asked me if I had a green card, I said no.
0:27:45 > 0:27:47She asked me if I had an O-1, I said no.
0:27:47 > 0:27:49She said, "I don't really know why you're meeting me
0:27:49 > 0:27:52"because there is nothing I can do. You can't work."
0:27:52 > 0:27:55I said, "Well, we came over trying to get the premiere
0:27:55 > 0:27:57"and if we could make contacts in that time, we could.
0:27:57 > 0:27:59"Now I have made this contact with you,
0:27:59 > 0:28:02"this is where we're at, at the moment." She went, "Right, OK."
0:28:02 > 0:28:04She went, "The thing is,
0:28:04 > 0:28:06"I think you've got a great look."
0:28:06 > 0:28:09So, if I get in touch with her,
0:28:09 > 0:28:10get the showreel done well
0:28:10 > 0:28:12and she thinks that's good enough,
0:28:12 > 0:28:16then I think she probably would take on and help me.
0:28:16 > 0:28:18We still had no tickets.
0:28:18 > 0:28:21It was time to take the campaign to the streets.
0:28:21 > 0:28:25# Won't you get Marty to Hollywood?
0:28:25 > 0:28:28# That will put the wee guy in an awfy good mood
0:28:28 > 0:28:32# If you've got some money, spread the wealth
0:28:32 > 0:28:34# Cos wee Marty from Castlemilk
0:28:34 > 0:28:36# Wee Marty from Castlemilk
0:28:36 > 0:28:38# Wee Marty from Castlemilk
0:28:38 > 0:28:40# Wee Marty from Castlemilk
0:28:40 > 0:28:43- # Wee Marty from Castlemilk... # - Let's hear you, Hollywood!
0:28:43 > 0:28:44# Wee Marty from Castlemilk
0:28:44 > 0:28:47# Wee Marty from Castlemilk
0:28:47 > 0:28:48# Wee Marty from Castlemilk...
0:28:50 > 0:28:51# He hasn't got money himself. #
0:28:51 > 0:28:54YEAH!
0:28:54 > 0:28:56Well done.
0:28:56 > 0:28:58It is all fate.
0:28:58 > 0:28:59This is fate here.
0:28:59 > 0:29:01Marty's going to be a big star.
0:29:01 > 0:29:04This kid is going to be in the picture, let me tell you, he is.
0:29:04 > 0:29:07My long lost son.
0:29:07 > 0:29:09# One love
0:29:09 > 0:29:12# One love
0:29:12 > 0:29:14# One love
0:29:14 > 0:29:16# You've got to do what you should
0:29:17 > 0:29:20# One love
0:29:20 > 0:29:23# With each other
0:29:23 > 0:29:24# Sisters... #
0:29:29 > 0:29:32It's not failure, I actually thought it was failure when I seen it.
0:29:32 > 0:29:34It said, "Hi, Ian, there is no change."
0:29:34 > 0:29:36I thought it said, "There is no chance," when I looked at it.
0:29:36 > 0:29:38"We've still not got any time, there is no change,
0:29:38 > 0:29:41"there is no availability through my Warner Brothers channels
0:29:41 > 0:29:44"as the producers have declined your request."
0:29:44 > 0:29:46So, obviously... I don't know.
0:29:46 > 0:29:48"We are glad you're enjoying LA, though,
0:29:48 > 0:29:50"and good luck with your endeavours.
0:29:50 > 0:29:52"Do let me know if you want to take up the Berlin opportunity.
0:29:52 > 0:29:55"The Berlin premiere is scheduled for the 5th of November.
0:29:55 > 0:29:56"All the best, Rob."
0:29:58 > 0:30:03I don't understand why I can go to Berlin but I can't come here.
0:30:03 > 0:30:05- I don't either. - What's the difference?
0:30:09 > 0:30:12HE SOBS
0:30:56 > 0:30:58I asked Warner.
0:30:58 > 0:30:59She said, "Hi. Oh, dear...
0:30:59 > 0:31:01"I wish I could be more helpful.
0:31:01 > 0:31:03"Is there any way you can find out who made that decision
0:31:03 > 0:31:06"of him not attending and speak to them to find out the concern?
0:31:06 > 0:31:08"Perhaps it's that they don't want it to be filmed.
0:31:08 > 0:31:11"If you say you won't film it, and you just want Marty to get there,
0:31:11 > 0:31:13"that might work."
0:31:14 > 0:31:16We went to Brits In LA,
0:31:16 > 0:31:18a networking breakfast established to help
0:31:18 > 0:31:21the expat community in Hollywood.
0:31:21 > 0:31:24We'd been in touch with many of these people by e-mail
0:31:24 > 0:31:26and hoped that they would help us.
0:31:31 > 0:31:36Everybody, this is Marty.
0:31:36 > 0:31:37Hi. Hello, everyone, how are you?
0:31:37 > 0:31:40Hi. Nice to meet you, sir.
0:31:40 > 0:31:42With regards to the premiere, you can't go...?
0:31:42 > 0:31:45At the moment, they are saying, "No."
0:31:45 > 0:31:47Do you know how to get hold of Tom Hanks?
0:31:47 > 0:31:49Because he is a very nice man, he would get it for you.
0:31:49 > 0:31:52I think the issue is slightly maybe about the documentary.
0:31:52 > 0:31:56I think they maybe think I'm going to wear a microphone or something
0:31:56 > 0:31:59or I'm going to try and film it or that we are going to do something.
0:31:59 > 0:32:02- Eddie Michaels is a big publicity guy.- Would he get tickets?
0:32:02 > 0:32:04He'll get you into anything you want, that's his job.
0:32:04 > 0:32:07This guy I'm about to introduce you to is called Sandro Monetti.
0:32:07 > 0:32:09Sandro Monetti has been an entertainment journalist
0:32:09 > 0:32:12for many years. He used to work for the Daily Star.
0:32:12 > 0:32:13Has he got a good part in the film?
0:32:13 > 0:32:15Yeah. He's playing Tom Hanks' brother.
0:32:15 > 0:32:17Right, then he should have... Why hasn't he got a...?
0:32:17 > 0:32:19He's in Hollywood, man. Get him a fucking publicist.
0:32:19 > 0:32:23I believe in fate and this was fate that I met Simon
0:32:23 > 0:32:25and then he introduced me to you,
0:32:25 > 0:32:27and I definitely believe in fate.
0:32:27 > 0:32:29I think if you try hard enough,
0:32:29 > 0:32:32you can find a way to make things happen.
0:32:32 > 0:32:35You have got to get this poor guy to the premiere.
0:32:35 > 0:32:37It's his big moment. I can't believe
0:32:37 > 0:32:39that they would not give him a ticket.
0:32:39 > 0:32:42What you have to learn about Hollywood is,
0:32:42 > 0:32:43never play by the rules.
0:32:43 > 0:32:46Everyone always tells you no and there's a way around everything.
0:32:46 > 0:32:48- Martyn.- What's your name?- Stephen.
0:32:48 > 0:32:51Stephen, nice to meet you.
0:32:51 > 0:32:53I'm looking at your kilt.
0:32:53 > 0:32:56Kilt - so I'm guessing that's you. Have you got a kilt on?
0:32:56 > 0:32:59To e-mail me pronto, got some contacts willing to help.
0:32:59 > 0:33:01So, have you got Darren's e-mail?
0:33:01 > 0:33:04It's Ian, or as you called me, the kilted one -
0:33:04 > 0:33:07which I'm quite happy with that name, I quite like that name.
0:33:07 > 0:33:09I'm sitting here with a chap called Marty.
0:33:09 > 0:33:10He needs a publicist immediately.
0:33:10 > 0:33:13He's here with a film crew from Scotland.
0:33:13 > 0:33:17He's the second lead in the movie and he's just got off a plane
0:33:17 > 0:33:19and he's in our town and he needs help.
0:33:19 > 0:33:21You will get in tomorrow. I have no doubt about it.
0:33:21 > 0:33:23Where there's a will, there's a way.
0:33:23 > 0:33:25I have no doubt you'll be there tomorrow.
0:33:25 > 0:33:26Thank you, Mark.
0:33:26 > 0:33:29- Hey. So, you're the man of the hour?- I'm the man of the hour.
0:33:29 > 0:33:30So, I'm thinking...
0:33:30 > 0:33:33Cos it's been a hard week for you, being fabulous.
0:33:33 > 0:33:37I was thinking maybe we got you a beautiful massage, a facial,
0:33:37 > 0:33:40a little scrub down, a Jacuzzi,
0:33:40 > 0:33:41a little bit of champagne
0:33:41 > 0:33:44and we spend an afternoon doing that.
0:33:44 > 0:33:47We were talking about potentially
0:33:47 > 0:33:49red carpet access for all of us.
0:33:49 > 0:33:51Well, we're going to reach out.
0:33:51 > 0:33:56Christine's offered Marty a day in the spa tomorrow with treatments.
0:33:56 > 0:33:57And us? Only kidding.
0:33:57 > 0:34:00- We need it.- We need it more. Look at the state of us.
0:34:00 > 0:34:02One miracle at a time, boys.
0:34:04 > 0:34:07It was at this point that we met two very important people.
0:34:07 > 0:34:09Christine Peake, a publicist
0:34:09 > 0:34:12and organiser of red-carpet events.
0:34:12 > 0:34:14And Darren, who didn't want to appear in our film.
0:34:14 > 0:34:17A specialist at getting people into Hollywood events
0:34:17 > 0:34:19when they haven't been invited.
0:34:21 > 0:34:23He also told us a way that, if we can't get in the front,
0:34:23 > 0:34:26he told us a way to get in the back.
0:34:26 > 0:34:27- Get arrested?- Aye.
0:34:27 > 0:34:30You can take the man out of Scotland.
0:34:30 > 0:34:33- Deported.- Yes.
0:34:33 > 0:34:37- Never let back in again.- He told us a really good way to get in the back.
0:34:37 > 0:34:42# Won't you get Marty to Hollywood? #
0:34:42 > 0:34:45An absolute frenzy in there
0:34:45 > 0:34:48of people willing and wanting to help us.
0:34:48 > 0:34:54We've got a publicist who is going to take the whole project on.
0:34:54 > 0:34:56'In 0.1 miles, turn right on Melrose Avenue.'
0:34:56 > 0:34:58It has just been pretty mental.
0:34:58 > 0:35:00That whole morning was absolutely insane...
0:35:00 > 0:35:03- It's not this one, Bussy, is it? - No, it is the next one.
0:35:03 > 0:35:07We've got four or five people
0:35:07 > 0:35:10working on Warner Brothers for us now.
0:35:10 > 0:35:13- We've got...- No, I know. The whole thing is just crazy.
0:35:13 > 0:35:16The amount of people we met in there was just amazing.
0:35:16 > 0:35:18Where it all went was just totally wild.
0:35:18 > 0:35:20We were so down going in and...
0:35:22 > 0:35:25I think what we got in those two hours was...
0:35:25 > 0:35:28I think what we got was the benefit of all the energy
0:35:28 > 0:35:30we've put in from the start.
0:35:30 > 0:35:31It has suddenly...
0:35:31 > 0:35:34We have put in so much energy and nothing has happened, so many doors,
0:35:34 > 0:35:37and then all of a sudden, it went boom and paid off.
0:35:37 > 0:35:40So, he e-mailed me a happy face.
0:35:42 > 0:35:46So, that means... I don't want to say the words that I want to say.
0:35:50 > 0:35:52All I'm saying is, it's going to be weird tomorrow
0:35:52 > 0:35:54if Marty goes for a fucking spray tan and all that
0:35:54 > 0:35:57and then he doesn't get to go to the premiere.
0:35:57 > 0:36:00Aye, and I end up with a fucking spray tan
0:36:00 > 0:36:02then back on the plane with it...
0:36:02 > 0:36:04like a right fanny,
0:36:04 > 0:36:07sitting in my kilt and all that with a big, bright red face. "Hiya."
0:36:14 > 0:36:16I've e-mailed them, mate.
0:36:16 > 0:36:18- Nothing back.- Fuck sake, man.
0:36:19 > 0:36:22It's a fucking joke.
0:36:22 > 0:36:25Ultimately, if we don't get in, what we do is we embarrass them tonight.
0:36:25 > 0:36:29- That's what we do.- Will we do a Braveheart scene on the red carpet?
0:36:33 > 0:36:35I'm getting more and more frustrated.
0:36:37 > 0:36:39Every phone call, I keep thinking...
0:36:41 > 0:36:45Christine Peake had organised a five-star spa treatment,
0:36:45 > 0:36:49but Marty was finding it very hard to contemplate relaxing.
0:36:49 > 0:36:52Well, I'm hoping we can get a bit of relaxation,
0:36:52 > 0:36:54and Marty can relax, while we work on...
0:36:55 > 0:36:57While we work on the tickets.
0:36:59 > 0:37:01- I'll get that. - It's all right, I'm good.
0:37:01 > 0:37:05- So, listen, you're in a five-star spa, enjoy yourself.- I know.
0:37:07 > 0:37:09- It's just hard.- I know.
0:37:09 > 0:37:12You've got to trust us to try and get on with it.
0:37:12 > 0:37:14How are we?
0:37:14 > 0:37:16- You must be Spencer.- I am, yes.
0:37:16 > 0:37:18This is Spencer, this is Alan.
0:37:18 > 0:37:20- He's going to be taking pictures.- Nice to meet you.
0:37:20 > 0:37:21Hi, Alan, I'm Martin.
0:37:21 > 0:37:24This is my colleague, Ian, over here and Chris.
0:37:24 > 0:37:26Marty, nice to meet you.
0:37:27 > 0:37:29So, this is Niki.
0:37:29 > 0:37:32Martin, who is here all the way from Scotland.
0:37:32 > 0:37:35This is Niki, who owns this amazing spa, that's new and
0:37:35 > 0:37:37it's where a lot of Holywood people come
0:37:37 > 0:37:41when they're getting ready for the Oscars and the Emmys and all this.
0:37:43 > 0:37:45Taste of luxury.
0:37:45 > 0:37:48- Is it 15 years you've been an actor?- 15.- 15.
0:37:48 > 0:37:50So, in these 15 years,
0:37:50 > 0:37:53with this being the first big break,
0:37:53 > 0:37:55what were you doing before Cloud Atlas?
0:37:55 > 0:37:58So, if you like, we can offer you
0:37:58 > 0:37:59the chair with steam first
0:37:59 > 0:38:02- and, from there, we can do the cream and body scrub.- I'll do...
0:38:02 > 0:38:05After that, if you have time, we can give you a massage and facial.
0:38:05 > 0:38:07It all depends on what time you have.
0:38:07 > 0:38:10- I would like to do all that, please.- OK, great.
0:38:10 > 0:38:12- That's great.- These guys can...
0:38:12 > 0:38:14Could you tell him about the vaginal steam and the anal steam?
0:38:14 > 0:38:17- Yeah. - LAUGHTER
0:38:17 > 0:38:20Is it true he peed in the Jacuzzi or is that just a rumour?
0:38:20 > 0:38:24- Who?- Marty Docherty.- Oh!
0:38:25 > 0:38:29While Marty was getting an anal steam, we were talking to Christine.
0:38:29 > 0:38:33I did what I said I would do and I called everybody.
0:38:33 > 0:38:35I e-mailed everybody
0:38:35 > 0:38:37and I did what I said yesterday, remember.
0:38:37 > 0:38:38And...
0:38:38 > 0:38:42I did get to the people you wanted me to get to, and...
0:38:44 > 0:38:45Everybody has heard of you
0:38:45 > 0:38:48and a studio in Los Angeles,
0:38:48 > 0:38:50in Hollywood, they run this town.
0:38:50 > 0:38:54They've spent hundreds of millions of dollars on Cloud Atlas.
0:38:54 > 0:38:56It's the biggest movie of the year.
0:38:56 > 0:38:58Last night, I was up late.
0:38:58 > 0:39:01Thousands of people in LA are tweeting
0:39:01 > 0:39:04about Marty Docherty and your movie.
0:39:04 > 0:39:06They're tweeting Tom Hanks and
0:39:06 > 0:39:09they're tweeting Warner Brothers.
0:39:09 > 0:39:11How cool is that?
0:39:11 > 0:39:12I can feel as if I'm relaxed now.
0:39:12 > 0:39:14I can feel my heartbeat slowing down.
0:39:14 > 0:39:16- How was that?- How was it? Amazing?
0:39:16 > 0:39:19- The scrub was amazing, right? - The scrub, the...
0:39:19 > 0:39:20The steam up the bum...
0:39:20 > 0:39:22LAUGHTER
0:39:22 > 0:39:24How was the steam up the bum?
0:39:24 > 0:39:25- It was amazing!- Was it?
0:39:25 > 0:39:28Marty, Christine's got news.
0:39:29 > 0:39:31There's two ways you can look at it.
0:39:31 > 0:39:35I'm just going to give it to you and you need to listen to my words.
0:39:35 > 0:39:37OK, everybody knows about this movie.
0:39:37 > 0:39:40I'm just saying that...
0:39:40 > 0:39:42it has affected decisions,
0:39:42 > 0:39:45because the movie that's important
0:39:45 > 0:39:47is Cloud Atlas
0:39:47 > 0:39:49and you're making a documentary
0:39:49 > 0:39:50that hasn't been...
0:39:50 > 0:39:53Have Warner Brothers authorising it.
0:39:54 > 0:39:57It doesn't mean it's over
0:39:57 > 0:40:00but I honestly think that if you came here without a crew
0:40:00 > 0:40:04and there was no Marty Goes To Hollywood...
0:40:04 > 0:40:08- It would be fine.- Well, because nobody would have heard about you.
0:40:08 > 0:40:12So, I'd rather be known and acknowledged
0:40:12 > 0:40:15and make a difference than blend in.
0:40:15 > 0:40:17That's just me.

0:41:28 > 0:41:30Hello, is that Darren?
0:41:30 > 0:41:32Darren, hold on a second.
0:41:47 > 0:41:49- Darren?- 'Yes?'
0:41:49 > 0:41:50The end.
0:41:50 > 0:41:52You are the legend.
0:41:52 > 0:41:55- You going?- Yeah.
0:41:55 > 0:41:57We'd love to take it.
0:41:58 > 0:42:00He just had his arse steamed,
0:42:00 > 0:42:01for the love of God.
0:42:01 > 0:42:03Of course he's going.
0:42:03 > 0:42:05Sorry, Darren, he'd love to go.
0:42:05 > 0:42:06He'd love to take it.
0:42:06 > 0:42:09- How would we make it work? - That's the Hollywood dream.
0:42:09 > 0:42:10Marty, man...
0:42:10 > 0:42:14That's the dream.
0:42:14 > 0:42:16That's the dream.
0:42:16 > 0:42:19So, you got the movie
0:42:19 > 0:42:20AND you got the premiere.
0:42:20 > 0:42:22Yeah, man, you got everything.
0:42:22 > 0:42:25I'll tell you who needs to be on this, is him and him.
0:42:26 > 0:42:28OK. Darren, you're an absolute star.
0:42:28 > 0:42:30Thank you so much for that.
0:42:30 > 0:42:33Just like when we drove to meet Joe Lafferty in Helensburgh,
0:42:33 > 0:42:36we were driving to meet a complete stranger
0:42:36 > 0:42:38who could make or break our quest.
0:42:40 > 0:42:45We've asked everyone if they believe in fate and chance because...
0:42:45 > 0:42:47- Is this not totally fate and chance? - Course it is.
0:42:47 > 0:42:50I hadn't met you guys till a minute ago.
0:42:50 > 0:42:53Here we are and here it is.
0:42:54 > 0:42:57LAUGHTER
0:42:57 > 0:42:59Two tickets.
0:43:00 > 0:43:03God bless you, Peter. God bless you.
0:43:06 > 0:43:09'This is a permit to film the Hollywood sign.
0:43:09 > 0:43:11'To film the sign costs 450 and,
0:43:11 > 0:43:15'as all you watching this film will know, we don't have any money.'
0:43:15 > 0:43:17'People said we would never get here
0:43:17 > 0:43:19'but Marty did get to Hollywood.
0:43:19 > 0:43:22'We made this film with no money at all.
0:43:22 > 0:43:24'450 for a permit?
0:43:24 > 0:43:25'We'll make our own sign.'
0:43:27 > 0:43:30I'm sure we can film the outskirts of the Hollywood sign
0:43:30 > 0:43:32and what's behind it.
0:43:34 > 0:43:36CHEERING
0:43:36 > 0:43:38Your dreams came true, Marty.
0:43:38 > 0:43:39Well done, son.
0:43:39 > 0:43:42At the last minute, Warner Brothers came through
0:43:42 > 0:43:44and gave us another two tickets -
0:43:44 > 0:43:46meaning we all got to go to the premiere.
0:43:46 > 0:43:49Marty even got to go to the afterparty
0:43:49 > 0:43:51at a swanky Hollywood hotel.
0:43:52 > 0:43:56PAPARAZZI CLAMOUR
0:43:56 > 0:43:59When I was turning up, I was like...really, really nervous.
0:43:59 > 0:44:01The minute you see Jimmy Broadbent sitting on that toilet pan,
0:44:01 > 0:44:06I knew, "Right, the door's opening in a minute and through we come.
0:44:06 > 0:44:10- IRISH ACCENT:- Timothy Cavendish, I presume.
0:44:10 > 0:44:12'It was like... It was kind of surreal and...
0:44:14 > 0:44:17'..a little bit bizarre but wild exciting.
0:44:17 > 0:44:19'Then of course, you get a close-up of me
0:44:19 > 0:44:21'like 50 foot square on the screen.'
0:44:21 > 0:44:23Where's our fucking money?
0:44:25 > 0:44:28'I never thought for a minute that you'd be in the Chinese Theatre
0:44:28 > 0:44:31'watching yourself in a premiere of a Hollywood film.
0:44:31 > 0:44:34'It was nuts.'
0:44:34 > 0:44:35Hello, everybody,
0:44:35 > 0:44:39this is Santa Monica beach.
0:44:39 > 0:44:41Probably the nicest beach I've ever seen
0:44:41 > 0:44:42and that's the Pacific ocean
0:44:42 > 0:44:46and what I'm going to do now is write a wee postcard to my maw.
0:44:46 > 0:44:48Dear Mum,
0:44:48 > 0:44:51I am standing at Santa Monica beach.
0:44:51 > 0:44:54These last four days
0:44:54 > 0:44:56have been life-changing.
0:44:56 > 0:44:59Guys, thank you so much
0:44:59 > 0:45:04for all of your hard work and effort to get us to here.
0:45:04 > 0:45:06Honestly.
0:45:06 > 0:45:07Thank you so much.
0:45:07 > 0:45:10- Listen, Marty, we wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you.- I know but...
0:45:10 > 0:45:12And you wouldn't be here if it wasn't for us.
0:45:12 > 0:45:15He shouldn't be here at all, he's a chancer.
0:45:15 > 0:45:19Cannot wait to tell you...our stories.
0:45:22 > 0:45:24Much love, your wee boy, Marty.
0:45:26 > 0:45:30And at the after party, the Cloud Atlas director's wife said to me,
0:45:30 > 0:45:34"Did you guys make some crazy documentary to get here?"
0:45:45 > 0:45:48I took Marty up there, past the press, and his eyes...
0:45:48 > 0:45:52I've never seen a man's eyes open so much in my life.
0:45:52 > 0:45:53He was just like... Wah!
0:45:53 > 0:45:55I was like, "Marty, slow down."
0:45:55 > 0:45:58He ran up the fluming gangway
0:45:58 > 0:46:00and I was like, "Marty, slow down,
0:46:00 > 0:46:02"you're not going to get another chance at this.
0:46:02 > 0:46:04"Slow down."
0:46:04 > 0:46:05It was a bit trancelike.
0:46:05 > 0:46:07I was still dead edgy.
0:46:07 > 0:46:09"Have I got the ticket, man?"
0:46:09 > 0:46:10Cos I just...
0:46:10 > 0:46:13still wasn't convinced, you know,
0:46:13 > 0:46:15right up to the last minute, that we were getting in.
0:46:15 > 0:46:17You know what it's like.
0:46:17 > 0:46:19This week's been so many promises.
0:46:19 > 0:46:21It was great to see Marty on the big screen and I think he had
0:46:21 > 0:46:24a real blast seeing himself, because it's his first feature.
0:46:24 > 0:46:26He's never seen himself on the big screen.
0:46:26 > 0:46:28Tom Hanks came up and shook his hand after it.
0:46:28 > 0:46:30I think it made his week,
0:46:30 > 0:46:32it made his entire trip,
0:46:32 > 0:46:34which was just brilliant.
0:46:34 > 0:46:37Being here in LA,
0:46:37 > 0:46:39in Hollywood, the Chinese Theatre,
0:46:39 > 0:46:40it was just immense.
0:46:40 > 0:46:43It was just an immense experience. It was brilliant.
0:46:43 > 0:46:46It started off in Glasgow and, the next second, we're sitting here,
0:46:46 > 0:46:49in Hollywood, watching the biggest film
0:46:49 > 0:46:51that has come out and we're just...
0:46:51 > 0:46:54We have made it here to the premiere.
0:46:54 > 0:46:55Me and you were thinking,
0:46:55 > 0:46:59we were so close to not getting in and we got in.
0:46:59 > 0:47:01It made me think that,
0:47:01 > 0:47:04if you want to do something,
0:47:04 > 0:47:06if you're prepared to work hard for it
0:47:06 > 0:47:09and you're concentrated on your goal,
0:47:09 > 0:47:11then anything can happen.
0:47:11 > 0:47:14When Marty comes on - you, Marty -
0:47:14 > 0:47:19and there you are, holding your own on a massive screen.
0:47:19 > 0:47:21Holding your own with the best actors in the world.
0:47:21 > 0:47:23You're just like that -
0:47:23 > 0:47:25"There's Marty up there!
0:47:25 > 0:47:27"Holding his own with the best actors in the world."
0:47:27 > 0:47:29I couldn't have been prouder.
0:47:29 > 0:47:31Here we are, you're from Glasgow, right?
0:47:31 > 0:47:33He's from Aberdeen - where I was born.
0:47:33 > 0:47:35You're from Glasgow - the city I'm setting
0:47:35 > 0:47:37my show, The Circus.
0:47:37 > 0:47:38It's an incredible TV show.
0:47:38 > 0:47:40Like the Mad Men of rock and roll.
0:47:40 > 0:47:41How cool is that?
0:47:41 > 0:47:43You're an actor. He's an actor.
0:47:43 > 0:47:45Marty's an actor.
0:47:45 > 0:47:47He's in a Tom Hanks film, Cloud.
0:47:47 > 0:47:49I'm going to put him in my show.
0:47:49 > 0:47:51You're going to go on my show - that's fate, right?
0:47:51 > 0:47:54By the way, when I practise as strong as you, you know,
0:47:54 > 0:47:55that's what it's all about.
0:47:55 > 0:47:58Somebody is like, "There's no accident."
0:47:58 > 0:48:00There are no accidents. It's all fate.
0:48:00 > 0:48:01It's all fate here.
0:48:01 > 0:48:03Marty's going to be a big star.
0:48:03 > 0:48:06This kid's going to be in the pictures. Let me tell you.
0:48:06 > 0:48:08Oh, yes.
