After landing the role, the show becomes a sensation. But for Andre, the fame comes with a price. He feels that he is sacrificing his racial identity for a successful career. After witnessing a young fan mimic him, he can no longer mask the guilt and shame he feels. He walks away from the fame and fortune with the hopes of producing his own content.
