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.
