Billy Crudup

My 1.7 GPA.

When he told me he had paid the tuition so I was pre-registered, that was in fact not true.

So when I went to pre-registration in order to get the classes that you might attend as a freshman, like anything after nine, they were all gone.

So I ended up with a slate of 8 a.m.

tough classes.

That happens twice a year.

And there were lots of other bills to pay.

My dad was constantly saying he had paid them.

My grandfather was extremely reliable.

And he was there for lunch, laying on the horn.

You didn't never made any.

He was a hustler.

So he knew how to survive enough because he was a salesman of fabric, but also he was a bookie.

Here's what happened.

And again, this is conjecture on my part because I didn't get to ask my dad this, but my younger brother was very close to my dad.

I think my dad was making up for lost time with my younger brother.

And they became very close when my younger brother was in college in Austin and they would have lunch every week.

He intimated at a certain point about correspondence to organized crime at a certain point in our lives.

That being said, when you were in the garment district in New York in the late 60s, early 70s, it was replete with mob guys.

And my dad thought they were awesome.
