For the last two hours, Ben had sitting in the chair of one of the best makeup artists in Hollywood. He awoke to find a very different face looking back at him in the mirror. He made various expressions like smiling, pouting, and frowning, the makeup seemed perfect.

"This is amazing." He said to the makeup artist, "Despite being a white dude, you actually made me look like an African American woman! I still can't believe it..."

"Oh, you don't just look like one," The makeup artist retorted, "For the duration of this shoot, you ARE an African American female.”

"What!? How? Why?"

"Let's just say I'm magic, Ben, and let's just say that you are about to truly embrace your philosophy of method acting with this role."
