Yes I would actually be one to know. brother is actually a very successful stage manager, he is working on the broadway show South Pacific right now and it is nominated for either 11 or 13 tony awards I can't remember. Anyways he has a lot of friends from his theater school who are great actors but they can't find work because you have to be all around amazing.

I'm going to have to say yes on this one. I am also an aspiring film actor, and I'm choosing to rough it in L.A. and I imagine that is going to be quite the bothersome venture, though the reward would be incredible. main concern however is looks, as we all know Hollywood is one fickle town, concerns lie in the fact that I don't know if I have the looks for it. You?

Billy Bob Thornton, isn't exactly the exponent of facial quality, but he gets money, infact it's probably only his money that intruiged Angelina Jolie some years ago, that and possibly the connections he might have had.

Now she's with Brad, you kind of wonder even with Thorntons money, what the reality check cost him.

Not sure if it was the money as much as the weirdness factor, he has a disturbing kind of appeal. And if I had to pick one wacked out chick, it would be the old Angelina. She seems to have gotten over herself though.
Billy Bob banged the maid, a few times, that's why she left. And he wouldn't adopt the first kid she got.

I read 'em all, it's part of job. We get every celeb/fashion magazine there is (even the ones from the Middle East that have fashion tips for veiled women). Reading the stories is just the bonus part! We have to keep in touch of what the celebs are wearing, the world is full of fashion victims.

Man that mustn't be that good a job. If someone tried to paid me money to read those, I'd want to hit myself over the head with one, after about 30 minutes.

I don't have to read them, it's all about trend spotting, the pictures are what is important. The reading is just the bonus part, since I would never pay OWN money to buy them. I'm cheap like that.

Yes, I've known for some time you were a bit of character, possibly a bit eccentric, but in truth, I wouldn't change a thing about someone like you :wink:
