George Clooney

Although I will tell you, ladies' shoes was a little dangerous, too, because there was a lot of lying about foot size at that point.

But well, he did.

By the way, well, by the way, he also made up facts like that.

You know, I don't even know if any of that is true.

I doubt there were 3,000 actors working and I certainly doubt there were 50,000 broadcasters.

But I did, you know, my argument to him, and it's a funny thing as I'm 64 now, I said to him, I don't want to wake up at 65 years old and say, I think I could have, which is a fascinating thing at 64 now.

Yeah, it's true.

I got a job as an extra on a movie down at Keeneland Racetrack.

My cousin Miguel had gotten a part in it, and I didn't really know him.

I'd met him a couple of times, but I loved him because he lived in Hollywood.

He was doing a horse racing movie.

So I went down and they gave me a part as an extra.

I think I made 25 bucks a day, which was, you know, I was thrilled.

And then when it was over and he was going back to Hollywood, he said, you know, you ought to go to L.A.

and be an actor.

And I was like, OK.

And a couple of months later, I, you know, I took my 1976 Monte Carlo with rust all over it.

And so I drove for like 40 hours, got to L.A.,

And then I moved in with my buddy, a guy that I met, a guy named Tom Matthews, and he let me sleep on the floor of his closet of his one-bedroom apartment.

And I stayed there for almost three years, two and a half years, sleeping in that closet.
