Gary Goes to Hollywood
Documentary in which Greg McHugh's alter ego Gary McLintoch travels to Hollywood to speak to the Scots who have left Scotland behind for the bright lights of Los Angeles.
In Gary Goes to Hollywood, Gary McLintoch, Tank Commander, proud Scot, showbiz personality and now documentary film-maker, is off to Hollywood to meet the Scots who have left Scotland behind for the bright lights of Los Angeles. He's determined to find out why they have moved away from home and what they feel about the country they left behind.
Gary meets a host of fellow Scots who have relocated to seek fame and fortune in LA. He explores the ups and downs of life in Tinseltown, what these people love about their new home, what they miss about Scotland and what sacrifices they have made to create a life in America. Gary meets with Guardians of the Galaxy and Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle's Karen Gillan and quizzes her about the movies, fame and leaving Scotland. He chats to Aberdonian magician Stuart MacLeod, one half of the successful magical duo Barry and Stuart, strikes poses with Invershnekie's yoga practitioner Mark Guibarelli, and hangs out at home with Ross King.
Gary McLintoch is the alter ego of actor Greg McHugh. The eponymous hero of award-winning Scottish sitcom Gary: Tank Commander, he interviewed the Scottish political party leaders in 2016 for a 成人论坛 Scotland election special. In Gary Goes to Hollywood, Greg improvises with his Gary character, interacting with celebrities and members of the public to explore ideas of Scottishness, home and belonging as he seeks to understand what makes America so attractive, and what might make a proud and patriotic Scot leave Scotland behind.
