Eccentric friends Doody (<strong>Mark Allan Stuart<\/strong>) and Vaughn (<strong>Frank Nicotero<\/strong>) help Lake concoct an alter ego named Ed and admit him into a local retirement home so the actor can observe residents much to the consternation of Lake\u2019s girlfriend E.B. (<strong>Adrienne Frantz<\/strong>). What Lake ultimately learns from his new neighbors such as Andrew (<strong>Max Gail<\/strong>), Harold (<strong>Eddie Jones<\/strong>), and Tom (<strong>Pat Morita<\/strong>) changes his negative mindset about the aged and humbles his personal expectations from life itself. <strong>ACT YOUR AGE<\/strong> also stars <strong>Amber Benson<\/strong> as Harold\u2019s daughter Julia and <strong>DISCONNECT<\/strong>\u2019s <strong>Amanda Troop<\/strong> as a nurse.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Written, produced, and directed by <strong>Robin Christian<\/strong>, <strong>ACT YOUR AGE<\/strong> is scheduled to come out on<strong> Tuesday, December 20<\/strong>.
