The Stand-in Star

Struggling actor Leo becomes the lover of mob boss Dante to pay for Leo's grandmother's medical bills, but actress Chloe manipulates and frames Leo. During a fire, Leo fakes his death and gets plastic surgery to become Leon. After losing the love of his life, Dante is consumed by regret and relies on medication to numb himself. When Dante meets Leon, who resembles Leo, Dante forces Leon into a lookalike contract. Chloe keeps causing trouble, while Leon endures and plays along. Once Leon's identity is exposed, Dante swallows his pride and chases after Leon obsessively. After another life‑threatening fire, Leon finally lets go of his grudges. Leon wins the Oscar for Best Actor on his own merits, and the two end up with both career success and love.
