Perhaps the dinosaur is a respected but perfectionist actor on the verge of turning forty. Nobody in New York wants to hire him anymore because he is so difficult to work with or he is either too old or too young for a role. Not having worked in four months, he eventually hears of an opening on the soap opera, and initially tries out for the role but doesn't get it. In desperation, he cross-dresses, auditions as woman and eventually wins the part. Then he falls in love with one of his female cast members and everyone thinks he is lesbian. Hijinx ensue, and gender lines are crossed.
