I ran into an old friend, Mike, today. We use to do a lot of business together when I was in L.A. during my early years. Mike was an actor, a pretty good actor I thought--sometimes it does not matter how good you are as an actor, but what matters to them is do you look good on their poster. Questionable, I know! I always respected Mike because he was always ingenious in the way he "practiced" his art and made money at the same time. Let me explain! Everyone knows all the hot spots in L.A. where all the producers, directors and so on go to eat and party. More than often they would talk business when doing such things. When it came down to the nitty gritty of cutting a deal, they would exit the building and make it short before they got in their cars... This is where Mike started working. He would be pretending like he was working on the road , a sign, etc, and they would think nothing of him. Every word that came out of their mouths was like an ATM to Mike. He would then take the conversations and package them. He now has a government job.
