Money.
Struggling actor = broke.
Broke = fewer women.
Fewer women = can't be picky.
So I thought, when I caught my big break, the women would flock to the cash flow. Then I realized that there was no cash flow, and what little I did make from the small-screen movie went straight into Grandma's bank account for the house I'm trying to buy her.
The brunette hosting switches topics, and I sit up at the mention of Carletta.
"Turns out Carletta Ocean's new film might be delayed, costing the studio a large sum of money. Up-and-coming actor Ian Ritter walked off set and away from his leading role playing opposite Carletta after a heated argument about the cat she kept on set. Ian's highly allergic, and when Carletta refused to keep the feline in her trailer, Ian hit the road. Now producers are searching the globe for a leading man. The only qualification they seem to be looking for came from screenwriter and producer Killion Jacobs, who says, 'He better be comfortable with partial nudity.' Whether he's talking about in the film or behind the scenes is another question."
"Oh, I'm comfortable with it," I tell the TV, grinning like a buffoon and grateful Shay has left the room. The brunette keeps talking about how open auditions will be held in Alabama next week, but she's gotta check her sources. Because Shay called up the casting director this morning, sent in one of my tapes and the Syfy movie I was the lead in, The Walking Stiff. Not three hours later, Carletta was inviting me to an exclusive audition. Hells yeah.
"Prepare yourself, boys," I say to the Smurfs out loud because I'm just that damn happy, "we're in for a wild ride."
