A Surprise Meeting / Ratings are Forever

All righty, kiddo! Good news on the 0707 front: your work has paid off! The short-list has been whittled down to a short-short-list of just you and Rival! It seems the director really likes him/her - though I couldn't tell ya why! So, in order to make the final decision, the director - Susan Mulgary - wants to meet with you. I'm sure she'll be meeting with Rival as well. ok Now, here are some things you'll wanna know about Mulgary: she's directed several dramas, including... the acclaimed "Daughter of a Priest," and "Dark Destiny," as well as a few action films, including "Comborun" and "Deathmaker IV." She's twice divorced - after both of her ex-husbands, John Strade and Bruce Feland, were caught cheating in her - so don't mention marriage! And here's some inside-scoop type stuff that yours truly managed to get from an anonymous source: Mulgary says she's a vegan, but she's secretly not, and hates anyone who is a vegan, and while she claims to love theater... she doesn't and has no respect for anyone who does; so, make sure you don't hype-up the plays and musicals you've done. I think that's about it. ok... So - oh! - one minute... I've got a call coming in. Uh-huh... uh-huh... uh...huh... It's Rival on the phone; he/she wants to meet with you... what should I tell him/her? 1.  I'll meet him/her 2. I don't want to 1. Why he'd/she'd be delighted to meet with you... uh-huh... okay then... bye-bye! What a character! Okay, kiddo, you got yourself a meetin' with Rival at The Leaky Cantina. I don't know what it's about, but good luck! thanks! 2. ?

Airing Dirty Laundry

Look who's here! My best client. Got somethin' to say? 1. mention (Rival) +2 2. small talk 1. Hahaha... *COUGH* *COUGH*, yeah I watch the news, buck-o! Word gets around fast in this town. No such thing as bad publicity when you're at the bottom of the pile, but we don't want it getting out of hand. what do I do? 2. The weather? I thought maybe you'd come in to tell me you'd had a public run-in with some local TV actor. It's my job to know these things, ya know. But it's not my job to help with that crap... what do I do? An old, uh... friend of mine is a publicist. Charlene. She owes me a favor or three. You can find her downtown at Mr. Sushi. Never eat that raw stuff myself, but she's addicted to it. Always with the tuna, that woman. Bleh. tuna sushi, ok The bus stop by your place will take you downtown, and it's just a short walk to Mr. Sushi. She'll probably be at the sushi bar wearing something that looks like it used to be an animal. ok

Big Break

Arnie is calling... Come by my office; I've got some good news! hang up At Arnie's office I just got off the phone with Channel 9 - they like you! They even said they may call with other projects!

That's not all: Edward Hacker's next movie is going into production soon, and a little bird told me they're still trying to still one of the key roles - with someone like you! Bad news is that auditions are any day now. But I'd say if we play our cards right and get you a few roles between now and then to get your name out, you might have a real shot. This could be the break I've - I mean, you've - been looking for! You've got a job at Starbeansright? That's good, 'cause you'll need to keep working there so you can afford some new clothes to look nice for the auditions I'm gonna get you... soon as I can, I swear. Trust me. ok...

And you have good timing: George Focus, the creator of the ever-popular Star Battle movies has announced that the long-awaited Episode VII is ready to go!

I'll tell you as soon as I get it, but I'll keep calling with opportunities until then... because stayin' relevant ain't easy, kiddo. You gotta keep your name out there and perform well on projects or your fans will lose interest! Why, even famous A-listers have to work to keep from droppin' out of the public's eye! And there's nothin' worse than being washed-up. Trust me, I know. *COUGH* Good luck!  ok

The (Your Name) Show

Holy crap! This is it! Channel 9 saw some of the projects you've been working on, and they want you to star in a sitcom! The director is really into you - they're calling it The (Your Name) Show!

Yeah, Broadway: plays, one-person shows, musicals, the area of Manhattan named after... its wide... ways. *COUGH* An associate of mine tells me that legitimate theater is the next big trend - everyone's gonna want to see plays and musicals! Maybe people are tired of yelling at their TVs and want to yell directly at the actors? So, armed with that knowledge, yours truly - still me - has put your name out in the more.... theatrical circles. The calls for actin' gigs out in New York should start coming in no time! But that's not the biggest news... what is? I knew you'd ask that! The big news is that I think I've got you one step away from starrin' in a play written and directed by Wendy Allen! Wendy Allen? "Andy Hall"? "Brooklyn"? Ringing any bells? Anyway, I was gettin' off the bus on my way home when I bumped into Wendy Allen's manager, Simon Thurgood. Well... manager, personal friend, agent - I think. Simon does it all, and he only takes on le creme of the cream as clients. It's made his ego bigger than the tuckus I'm sitting on - snooty, but a nice guy. He's an old, school buddy on mine - way before he ran the "Thoroughly Good Talent Agency." He gave me the scoop on what Allen's up to! We got to talkin', I dropped your name and BAM! Next thing you know I missed my bus! More importantly, Simon wants to meet you! really? You betcha! Now, Simon's a busy guy, but he told me you could catch him on his way to the airport - out in The Hills - on his way to New York. Boy, a guy like that asking a star like you to meet him on the street, practically! Ego, I tells ya... oh, well! Jump through the hoops for him and you're a shoo-in! 1. ok 2. info about NY 1. ? 2. New York is great! You can perform in stage projects at The Regal Theatre, visit the lounge at the Fairlady Hotel to meet important people and get yourself a loft at Tera Lofts!
