I was a background actor for fifteen years, and was perfectly happy to remain that way. I met some of the most glamorous people in the business, I went to places I otherwise never would have. I had been to multimillion dollar estates with Ferraris, Lamborghinis and Bentleys in the garage. I had been in intimate situations, and exotic parties in Beverly Hills. Occasionally I was treated like an A list star, and on more than one occasion sought after for autographs. Does this sound like something that might interest you? Could you handle being given a shot at something you could only dream of? Do you yearn for being part of the entertainment business; the bright lights, the limos, and your own trailer? Do you crave to rub elbows with stars, and to be treated special as though you actually had talent? Then continue reading.
