"Linus, Lucy and Lisa" became another massive hit for Michael Carter, Abby O'Donovan and First Fleet Pictures. Knowing the importance of keeping a good thing going, Michael and Abby decided to make a third film together: "The Food Fight," a romantic comedy. Michael would play Ron Pierce, the CEO of SubVersives, America's number-one sandwich chain; Abby would play Kelly Mitchell, the CEO of Sydney's SuperSubs, a successful Australian sandwich chain making its way into the American market. After Sydney's overtakes SubVersives in the US, thanks to the popularity of its cartoon mascot Rooney the Kangaroo, Ron plots to put Kelly out of business-only to fall in love with her.
Abby was thrilled that Claire Robyn Kelly became a star as a result of her supporting role in "Linus, Lucy and Lisa," and wanted to give another up-and-coming Australian a break. This time, she lobbied for Emma Clancy to be hired as director.
Emma, a tall, brown-eyed redhead from the Gold Coast, had made a number of quirky romantic comedies in Australia before moving to Los Angeles. There, she worked on a number of innovative music videos-and wanted to work on the sexy hip-hop and R & B stars of those videos, many of whom were either in serious relationships or uninterested in white women, much to Emma's chagrin.
Emma thought Michael was just as hot as any of the singers and rappers she had worked with, but she also knew Michael was off-limits; in no way was she going to cross Abby by going after her man. Her dreams of black cock in her Aussie pussy would not be fulfilled any time soon...

As was the case with "Linus, Lucy and Lisa," Michael and Abby were having difficulty coming up with the right person for the role of George Garvin, the comedian Ron Pierce hires as his new spokesman to counter the popularity of Rooney the Kangaroo. Every name Michael and Abby could come up with had been rejected by First Fleet Pictures on salary grounds; the studio liked to hold on to as much of the money Michael and Abby made for them as possible.
When Michael and Abby discussed their dilemma with Emma, she had a quick suggestion:
"Hey, how about Tommy Wilkins?"
"Who?" Michael and Emma responded.
"I can't believe you've never heard of him-I just saw him at the Specter last week!"
Emma pulled up clips of Tommy on YouTube for Michael and Abby to watch. Michael was stunned; it was like watching a younger version of himself. Tommy was barely 25 years old, but he was handsome, muscular and brutally funny; his X-rated material would obviously have to be toned down for the movie, but Michael knew that he'd work in the role.
Abby was laughing so hard at Tommy's jokes that she almost fell onto the floor. Emma smiled.
"I think this guy's got it," the director remarked. "Plus, he's quite cute too."
"I'll say," Abby replied.

Two weeks later, Tommy met with Emma, Michael and Abby at the couple's LA condo to discuss the George Garvin role. Even though Tommy was just five years younger than Michael, and was from Oakland, California instead of New York, the two men had similar senses of humor, and immediately hit it off. Michael wanted Tommy to become a star with this movie; it would be Michael's way of giving back to the industry.
