Peter tries to protest Hollywood after learning that Brad Pitt was cast in a biopic about a politician. After Pitt injures himself on set, Peter must act out the role himself.

It is reported that Brad Pitt's latest film is being shot in Quahog, in which he is cast as Chris Christie for a biopic. Peter is upset by this, as he feels the part should be taken by a plus-sized actor. He and Brian protest outside of the movie set alongside various other overweight folks, drawing the attention of a producer who wants to hear out his concerns. During the meeting, Peter is offered a chance to act as the studio's "fat guy consultant", and is tasked with training Pitt in how to live the proper overweight lifestyle. As a result, Pitt grows so overweight that he throws out his back just trying to walk. Peter is called in to play his part instead.

Peter manages to finish shooting the film, titled Christie, with next to no issues and brings his family to attend the premiere event downtown. However, the reception to the finished product appears less than positive, with even Peter acknowledging that he didn't do a very good job. Despite Brian insisting that he did a good thing in terms of offering representation, Peter declares that acting should be left to actors regardless of background or lifestyle, which allows room for interpretation on the filmmakers' part.
