I've often told myself that if I were to ever be silly enough to want to be an actress, I would simply make some big name director or producer or actor my BFF. Why? Because Hollywood is like high school. The easiest way to survive is to fit in with a group so that all you have to do is be like "what are we working on now, boys?!" and the group leader will practically hand you a role.
(Of course you could also try to get him to fall in love with you, but I prefer the less slutty route)
Still doubting this theory?
Allow me to introduce you to the equivalent of the Hollywood cafeteria.
The Jocks - The George Clooney Club
Members: Brad Pitt (among other various Oceans Eleven cast members), Ben Affleck and other good-looking actors who are a smidge less good-looking than Clooney.
Requirements for admission into group: Treat George like a benevolent god.
The Druggies - The Jud Apatow Club
Members: Seth Rogan, James Franco (though he's unsuccessfully been trying to leave the club for years), Leslie Mann, Johan Hill, Paul Rudd and pretty much anyone who ever starred in Freaks and Geeks.
Requirements for admission into group: You need to find fart jokes hilarious
The Goths - The Tim Burton Club
Members: Helena Bonham Carter, Johnny Depp, Danny Elfman
Requirements for admission into group: Be super weird with crazy hair and pale complexion. Think artsy in a dark way.
The Swingers - The Quentin Tarantino Club
Members: Members of this club are free to come and go, but Uma Thurman and Robert Rodriguez may never leave
Requirements for admission into group: Catch Quin's eye
Former Clubs:
The John Hughes Club
The M. Knight Shyamalan
Etc...
So now I MUST ask...which club would you be in? Be honest with yourself.

I'd be a Joss Whedon wannabe. Like one of those guys who hang around on the fringe of the group and laughing a bit too loudly at Joss's jokes? Yeah. That's me.
ReplyDeleteHah...I could totally see this happening, John.
DeleteI'm not cool enough to even answer this question.
ReplyDeleteNOT TRUE. You'd create your own club. Admit it.
