You kept twiddling your thumbs as you waited for the interview to begin. There was tripe of the usual Hollywood types, secretaries, other producers, and of course, another, more sinister sort that was watching you. The Talent Scouts, the producers who wanted their ideas to win… while there was possibly the most important thing of all that could cause you to set about.
The Heads of the studios themselves were wandering about. They were looking for the next big thing, hoping and listening to the next show.
Yet you took a moment to take a breath and remember to breathe. Remember some of the techniques that Bruce taught you when you were training.
It kept you calm, despite the various looks it got from the others who were watching you.
Everyone marveled at the sight of a young man, so calm, just waiting and sitting and otherwise… Being better and less afraid than everyone else.
Then the door opened, and you saw the man you were waiting for, Larry Gelbert. "Mister O'Brian." He said your name as you stood up. "Come in."
You walked into the room and took a seat, opening up as you quietly gave a small smile to the producer. Then Larry sat down.
"You asked me here?" You stated a question rather than a true statement. That made the producer look at you curiously.
"Indeed." He said. "You see there is this show I am developing, something that I hold quite a bit of faith in."
"I read the script, quite funny, but why me, if you don't mind me asking? What is the appeal you see in me?" You asked.
Larry smiled. "Quite simple, your young, cheap, and my eye for talent is impeccable?"
You frowned as you crossed your arms. "Cheap? I get the eye for talent, and I know I am that good but cheap?"
"First job in Hollywood, most people would kill to be in your position? Especially after a show in Vegas?"
"Not my first job." You replied. "I worked in China with Bruce Lee."
That made the producer frown before he looked at the picture again. Then he asked. "Goose?"
"A Funny nickname that I will never escape, so lets stick to Bruce or O'Brian." You stated bluntly. "Now, let's talk."
"Didn't think you would work on TV?" He asked.
"Well, I have been of the proposition that work can lead to work. And that a job is a job. It's only when passion gets involved that it can become more. Haven't found one that has the passion yet." You smiled. "Just the need to get cash?"
Larry then changed the subject. "You have a knack for comedy."
"Pretty terrible at it to be honest." You replied. "People think the material is what you need, but you need timing, sense and just being real. Unfortunately, that isn't me. I never had it."
"Yet you worked in Vegas, for over a month, and drew the most crowds that that casino had ever seen. Could have made a lot of money." He stated. "Why did you leave?"
"Business opportunity. That and my joy in life is acting, can't do that on stage telling jokes." You replied.
At that Larry nodded. "Yet I have one more question. One more. What do you think gets your attention on this show?"
What caught your attention?:

"So… What do you need?" He asked.
"Money?"
Of course, money. "Yes. You are without an agent, but something tells me you know that."
What do you want as payment?
