I. A Way to Success
In the United States young actors usually go to Hollywood because most of the movies are made there. I didn’t go to Hollywood – it was my home, my family moved from New York to California before I was born. There are beautiful houses in Hollywood, but it isn’t all beautiful. My mother and I lived in a bad street where drugs and criminals were no surprise. My father moved away from home shortly after my birth but he often visited us and I was happy. I was not always a good boy, school didn’t interest me much – I liked playing and having fun. My first time on TV was at five but since I always wanted to play in shows producers got angry with me and I had to wait for about nine years before my next chance. TV was not the only interesting thing though, there remained books and movies, animals and the ocean.
Of course, I wanted to act, but so did many other people. In Hollywood actors usually audition for a part and directors watch and choose the right people. I went to a lot of auditions to get a job. First I got only small parts in TV commercials, more important parts were not easy to get. Once a producer didn’t like my name, I tried a new one but it wasn’t a success either, so I went back to the old one. Then fortune smiled on me and I got a big part in Santa Barbara which was on TV five times every week with a new script for every show.
