On Tuesday night, a prime-time audience will get a chance to see Bridger's first starring role. He plays a transgendered teen on "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit."

And here's how Hollywood defines such a timeline: overnight success.

That's what you're considered "if you do anything in less than three years," said Bridger's mother, Marcy Zadina. Bridger and his family said they are grateful that 2½ years of auditions, casting calls, acting lessons and trying to keep their Midwestern sensibilities alive in Hollywood are finally bearing fruit.
