Nerd jewish wallstreet broker goes to hollywood to be actor. Has wirebrush hair !
Question: Amore! (1993)
IMDB synopsis:
Saul Schwartz (Jack Scalia), a married successful businessman, is bored with his life and decides he has had enough. So he gets a divorce, quits his job, and goes off to pursue his dream, in Hollywood to be a movie star. Only becoming a movie star isn't as easy as he thought. Nobody wants an overweight, 50 year old, New Yorker who looks like a lawyer. He's going to have to make a few adjustments.
I'm not sure that this is the one you're asking about. It's a comedy in which he goes through a makeover and goes from nerdy to gorgeous! If I recall, he tries an Italian accent, and this girl (Kathy Ireland) believes completely in him.
I've seen this only once and would love to see it again. Thanks for reminding me of it with your question! I hadn't thought of that film for a long time; now, you have me wanting to see it again.
