M_____ is dying of cancer. Only thirty-two, an extra with a meagre list of credits to their name and afraid of being forgotten, M_____ starts recounting the strange, fantastic, and ultimately tragic path of their love affair with the world's greatest living "redshirt"--a man who has died or appeared dead in nearly eight hundred film and television roles.
