Humble Pie is a drama movie written by Hubbel Palmer and directed by Chris Bowman, Cast: Hubbel Palmer as Tracy Orbison, William Baldwin as Truman Hope, Mary Lynn Rajskub as Peggy Orbison, Kathleen Quinlan as Agnes Orbison, Bruce McGill as Mr. Grigoratus, Vincent Caso as Kendis Cooley, Nick Lashaway as Shawn and Rae Ritke as Helen Humble Pie release date: TBA. In the movie, It’s hard not to like Tracy Orbison (Hubbel Palmer). A dopey Midwestern guy who excels as a food-stocking professional, Tracy politely and passively passes his days scribbling poems in a notebook during shift breaks and day-dreaming of making something more of himself. Although there is already a lot more of him than some think necessary. In a blinding moment of enlightenment, he enrolls in an acting class taught by a pompous Z-list has-been (played by a hilarious William Baldwin).
Things don’t quite go according to plan, as a tragically comical chain of mishaps leads Tracy to take a more active role in his life by mentoring a young thug while fending off his obnoxious mother (Academy Award Nominee Kathleen Quinlan) and indifferent sister (Mary Lynn Rajskub, Julie & Julia, FOX’s “24”), all the while awkwardly attempting to conquer the elusive driver’s exam and trying to lose “about ten pounds.” A different kind of everyman, Tracy Orbison reminds us that the caution light flashes even while chasing our dreams.
