About the film:

Based on the novel Memory by Donald E. Westlake, The Actor finds Paul Cole (Andre Holland) stranded in a mysterious small town in Ohio with no memory of who he is or how he got here. Without a sense of identity or purpose, he starts from scratch and begins courting a local costume designer Edna (Gemma Chan). As bits and pieces of his past slowly emerge, he attempts to find his way home, but time is slippery, appearances can’t be trusted, and it’s unclear which of his identities is real.
