DIRTY SEXY DEAD MAN WALKING

OK..OK

YES... by Dirty Sexy Money story... I worked on the show last week....not much of a story... Dirty Sexy Money was a bust... I was cast on site as a NY art critic...they spotted me and instantlly recognized brilliant potential... a certain intangible je ne se quois that made me stand out....they pulled me from the line, prepped me and pushed me out to the huddle with all the promise of an NFL rookie... I was wardrobe'd, makeup'd... stood in with the stand in... got lit... and enjoyed a few easy rehearsals with the.. absolutely beautiful... Zoe McLellan

And then after the first take for tape... it was all over....they bumped me... i was "Too Good-looking" to be an art critic...and I was (probably) too tall for the camera to get the right angle over my shoulder...so they grabbed some old man in the background and put him in there... to be honest the old guy looked a lot more like an art critic than I did... I'll give him that.

DIRTY SEXY DEAD MAN WALKING... I nodded to ZOE, my "future wife of the moment," she said "Goodbye," ever so softly and sympathetic, and I stepped away. Dejected, heart broken, embarrassed (I say this in jest, for the most part, but I was YANKED from my throne in front of the entire cast: principal AND background), I found a quiet place on set to curl up and hide. My only choice was to take the recently vacated spot on the couch... where the old man was sitting before he devastated my career. I sat on the swanky furniture piece next to his former date, the lovely old woman he left behind. I went from trendy uppity NY art critic at the hottest gallery in New York...to the lame dude on the couch with his 80 year old girlfriend.

I decided to make the best of things. I used the circumstances to create a new character.... and hey...at least I wasnt on my feet all night. I was fortunate enough to be able to lounge out and relax. I basically just sat on the couch and played the angry, bitter drunk at the gallery opening.... snarling at passers by.... good stuff.
