Greg O'Neil

Greg O'Neil is a former Odyssey resident who returns home claiming success as a television star on The Nuthouse. His appearance at Whit's End impresses everyone, especially while he prepares to audition for Novacom. The glamorous story quickly unravels when Greg performs badly and admits that he has not found a real acting job in two years. Instead, he has been guessing people's weights at a carnival. His disappointment parallels Alex Jefferson's brief fame as a miniature-golf record holder. When the two meet after their public failures, Greg understands how quickly attention can disappear. His experience exposes the insecurity behind a polished celebrity image and shows why fame is too fragile to support a person's identity.
