They were chosen from thousands of hopefuls to be given the superstar treatment and a shot at fame and fortune. Now, after weeks of hard work and navigating through the backbiting and pitfalls of Hollywood, the fight is nearly over. Who will be the Next Action Stars?
The countdown is over. From thousands short-listed to just 14 finalists, now only one man and one woman will eventually emerge from the weeks of intensive and rigorous training to be deemed the next big thing in Hollywood superstardom!
From the scores of ordinary men and women applying for Next Action Star, 14 of the most beautiful, sexiest and the fittest have been plucked out of obscurity to live with each other twenty-four seven in a Hollywood mansion worthy of the stars. From acting classes, weapons training, and tango classes, they have worked with physical trainers, stylists, and acting coaches, completing a variety of challenging stunts in dramatic scenes for screen tests that ultimately decide whether they stay on in the race for superstardom, or eliminated for good. The big prize? A once-in-a-lifetime leading role in the telemovie Bet Your Life by action movie producer Joel Silver (The Matrix, Lethal Weapon, Die Hard).
The stakes are high and failure is no longer an option. With just a few left in the running, who will be the next Hollywood action heroes?
