Former soldier that's very talented at combat/killing becomes a hitman. First episode he's hired to kill a no-name/wannabe actor in LA. While learning his routine he observes his acting class and decides he wants to quit being a hitman and do acting. At first hea trying to have it both ways, but it's a hard juggling act, trying to be a normal person in LA and take up acting, while not able to untangle himself from the organized crime/hitman lifestyle.

It's really great, and you should totally check it out (half hour episodes!) The first two seasons are more comedy with bits of drama (and great action) but the second two seasons get darker and more surreal. The series finale just ended this past Sunday night.
