That's funny as fuck.
Do you have one?
I remember, I mean, like I said, I had no money when I rolled into Hollywood.
And then I remember I had gone, I had to go back to St.
Louis to do a play that got me my equity card, that got me into the union, that got me into this and that.
Then I got my car towed because I had like $2,000 worth of parking tickets that I wasn't sniffing being able to pay.
Yeah.
So then one day I just looked outside.
I was like, well, I guess that's gone.
So now I'm on the bus.
And I was working a restaurant job and trying to audition.
LA is not an easy place to use public transportation.
So I remember I had rollerblades.
and I would throw the rollerblades over my shoulder, get on the bus as close as I could get to wherever my audition was, and then blade it out.
I mean, not safe.
So I'd show up sweaty as a motherfucker to whatever commercial audition, Ivory Soap or whatever, just being like, I don't think I'm going to get this.
I look like 100 pounds of dirty laundry right now.
But yeah, I mean, you just do what you can.
Ain't nothing to it but to do it.
That was the first lesson I learned.
