Burrows (aka \u0022Milwaukee Steve\u0022) finally makes it big as \u0022The Crotch Fresh\u0022 commercial guy, but then can\u0027t catch another break -- not even when he auditions for a new Crotch Fresh commercial! He decides the only way to make a comeback as an actor is to fake his own death, then make a glorious return. Before that idea pans out, Milwaukee goes on \u0022Wheel of Fortune\u0022, and become notorious when he\u0027s sued by the Merv Griffin Corp. \u0022Milwaukee Steve\u0022 becomes a hot ticket, with numerous folks riding his coattails. However, after a studio hires him to write a script, nothing works out as planned. Desperate, broke, and depressed, Steve returns to Milwaukee, in mid-winter, to gain comfort from family and friends -- only to find his mother has rented out his room while on her annual trip to the Netherlands. \u0022Milwaukee\u0022 then recounts his Los Angeles\u0027 saga to his mom\u0027s boarder as they explore some of Milwaukee\u0027s more amusing locales. By the end of the film we\u0027ve met a host of crazy characters, and we are rooting for \u0022Milwaukee Steve\/The Crotch Fresh Guy\u0022 to find his own brand of \u0022fame, fortune, cheese, and beer.\u0022","wins":6,"nominations":null,"casts":[{"name":"Stephen Burrows","code":"nm0123299","characters":"Milwaukee Steve"},{"name":"Tim Matheson","code":"nm0001513","characters":"Simon \u0027Sez\u0027 Simone"},{"name":"Traci Lords","code":"nm0000183","characters":"Sam"},{"name":"A.J.
