In his first writer/director role since 2008’s Choke – and since becoming known to the world at large as Marvel’s breakout SHIELD Agent Phil Coulson, Clark Gregg writes, directs, and stars in Trust Me. The trailers and posters for the movie would suggest that it’s a feel-good, zippy comedy, which isn’t entirely misleading. However, there’s much more to this story than the dumbed-down ads present, and that’s ultimately what makes Trust Me such a winner.
Howard (Gregg) is a former child actor turned agent for child actors struggling to catch a break with his clients, who all seem to leave him for sleazy competitor Aldo (Sam Rockwell). When he accidentally stumbles onto a talented young actress named Lydia (Saxon Sharbino) and her manager father Ray (Paul Sparks), he sees in her an opportunity to finally make a big deal happen. The problem is that Howard is a genuinely nice guy; a trait that doesn’t typically get you far in Hollywood. So when things get complicated for Howard as he starts to figure out Lydia and Ray’s past, the deal begins to go south.
