   Summary

   Former child star Castiel Novak has played one role his entire life: actor. He grew up in front of the camera and continues to act now that he’s an adult. He doesn’t love it, but it’s the only life he knows.

   His co-star, Dean Winchester, is new to the industry and clearly has no idea what he’s doing or what it means to be famous.

   Cas just hopes Dean doesn’t screw everything up.
