Fake It Til You Make It is a heartwarming comedy-drama series created by Sweet Irony in 2010. It follows the lives of three best friends, Jess, Mark, and Becca, who are struggling actors trying to make it big in Hollywood. They are barely making ends meet, living in a small apartment, and taking odd jobs to pay their rent. However, they refuse to give up on their dreams and are willing to do anything to make it in the industry.

The show focuses on their journey to stardom, the challenges they face, and the sacrifices they make to achieve their goals. Jess, played by Kate Hackett, is the protagonist and the leader of the group. She's a talented actress who is determined to make it big. Mark, played by Michael Rupnow, is her best friend and acting partner. He's a bit of a slacker but has a heart of gold. Becca, played by Meghan Falcone, is the bubbly and outgoing member of the group. She wants to be an actress but is willing to take any job to make ends meet.

The show's title, "Fake It Til You Make It," reflects the group's philosophy of pretending to be successful until they actually achieve success. Jess, Mark, and Becca are constantly auditioning and going to casting calls, but they rarely get callbacks. To make ends meet, Jess and Mark take on odd jobs, such as being birthday clowns or working at a fast-food restaurant. Becca, on the other hand, takes jobs as a bartender and a waitress.

Their constant struggle to make it big in Hollywood is the main theme of the show. They encounter various challenges and obstacles along the way. For instance, Jess has to deal with her overbearing mother, who constantly urges her to give up on her acting dreams and get a "real job." Mark has to confront his fear of public speaking when he's tasked with presenting at a children's party. Meanwhile, Becca has to deal with the advances of her sleazy boss at the bar where she works.

However, the show is not all about their struggles. It also highlights their successes and accomplishments. Jess gets a role in a play, albeit a small one. Mark lands an audition for a big commercial, but he has to work on his fear of rejection. Becca discovers a hidden talent for singing and starts performing at open mic nights.

The show also explores the friendships and relationships between the three main characters. Jess and Mark have a close bond, having been acting partners for a long time. They know each other's strengths and weaknesses and always have each other's backs. Becca brings a different dynamic to the group, being the outgoing and bubbly one. She helps to lighten the mood and brings some much-needed comic relief to the show.

Overall, "Fake It Til You Make It" is a charming and relatable show that depicts the struggles and triumphs of aspiring actors. The show has a great ensemble cast who are all talented actors in their own right. The writing is well-crafted and strikes a balance between comedy and drama. The show's themes of friendship, perseverance, and determination resonate with viewers and make it a must-watch for anyone who has ever chased their dreams.
