“Well?” Bobbie prodded gently after a few seconds of silence. Julie hadn’t said a word, her hands folded tightly in her lap under the lights. I decided to answer for her. “I don’t know about Julie, but my father was furious when he found out.” Bobbie turned to me, curiosity flickering across her face. “Because of the nudity?” I shook my head. “Not really. Dad doesn’t like acting in general. He doesn’t think it’s a great profession. Or at least that’s what he used to think…- 259.9 K • Ongoing
- “Do you think he’ll get it right this time?” Al Pacino just shrugged, for he had no answer to that question. “This is the toughest scene for his character, so it’ll take time before he fully gets there. We just need some patience, and I’m sure he’ll nail it in a few more takes.” Robert Zemeckis nodded in agreement and walked back behind the camera. As much as Al preferred working with a director like Bob, who was open-minded enough to accept suggestions, it was sometimes tiring to…

June 2009, Phoenix Motion Pictures HQ (Formerly Sony Columbia) “We would love for you to continue working on the film,” Tobias said emphatically. He leaned forward in his chair, palms pressed together, as if trying to soften the blow. “You are a great director. But this is not the direction we want to go in.” Not satisfied with the answer, the man in question turned to me. Chris Columbus adjusted his glasses before giving me a frustrated look. “Believe me, Troy, this is the perfect…- 1.0 M • Ongoing
- “Alice, will you give me a break? I need some alone time with my thoughts,” Scarlett grouched, her voice edged with irritation as she shifted uncomfortably on the couch. Alice just chuckled and shook her head. “Troy has told me in no uncertain terms that I can’t leave you alone unless he tells me himself. It’s for your own safety, Scarlett. I can be quiet as a mouse, and you won’t even notice my presence.” Sometimes, Scarlett found it difficult to decide whether she loved Troy or hated…

- “You son of a bitch,” Peter said with a wide grin after placing the script of Risky Business on the table. “You really want to do everything yourself, don’t you? I thought you’d leave the behind-the-scenes work to Ash and me, but no… you wrote a script, and now you want to direct it too?” I chuckled and plucked the script back from him. “Not my fault you never managed to stick to one job long enough to master it. You tried everything and ended up doing nothing.” “I take offense to…

- “I fucking hate this shit!” Austin growled as he stared at the long line stretching across the entrance of the movie theater. “Why are so many people here to watch this film? Why couldn’t they do it next week? Or maybe never?” “We already have the tickets, bro.” Eric gave Austin an exasperated look while adjusting the collar of his hoodie. “I brought you out here because I thought Troy was your favorite actor, and watching his film would make you feel better. But you’re still acting…

- “It’s called impostor syndrome,” Scarlett said in a soft voice. “It’s the most common psychological problem actors have to face. And this is especially true for actors who are good at their jobs. People praise us so much that we start doubting their words.” “I’m not a psycho,” I retorted. “I don’t have any issues.” Scarlett gave me an unimpressed look but didn’t argue. Her fixed stare was enough to make me avert my gaze. “Have you ever faced this impostor syndrome?” I…

- “Thank you for agreeing to do a longer performance, Troy. I can’t tell you how much everyone is waiting for that,” the slimy man said, rubbing his hands together like a caricatured villain from a comic book. His wide grin never faltered as my hairstylist moved around me, carefully arranging each strand so I would look flawless on stage. “By the way, have you decided on your next album already? For next year’s Grammys?” I arched an eyebrow at him through the mirror. “Why do you wanna…

- Rose McGowan sat at the edge of the couch, fingers worrying the hem of her sleeve. The mansion smelled amazing, a faint mix of honey, rose, and jasmine. Yet, she wasn’t comforted by it at all. She had been in this position too many times to pretend she did not know what might follow. From an early age she had been aware of her good looks. Wherever she went, someone always mentioned them. So when an agent promised a big break in Hollywood before she turned eighteen, she had said yes without thinking.…

- It was a nice, sunny day when I drove to the address Matt had given me. The building was a little rundown, nowhere close to a big studio like Paramount or Warner Bros. Still, the long line of cars parked nearby made it clear I wasn’t the only one with the bright idea to audition on the last day. Since I’d arrived half an hour before the auditions were scheduled to start, I was already feeling a little nervous. Even so, I pushed it down and walked in confidently. Before I could ask anyone where to…
