An extremely accurate portrayal.


I remember hanging out in LA during 1994 – 1999, any of the placed is this film is where we used to hang out.
However I was never homeless. I did auditions and modeling, but barely made enough to keep me / us going.
It was a lot of drugs, giving sex to get ahead, to book jobs or even be considered for work.
The darker side of LA was ruthless.
Being an extra / walk-on did no pay much. My biggest payday was a Relay Jeans add. Anyway so many just disappeared, was killed, overdose, raped.
I had close friends that OD, famous TV & film actors.

Glad I moved back home.

I used to be very good friends with Jonathan Brandis. He died a few years ago. Justin Whalin was a friend of mine. Part of our group was also Fairuza Balk, she did very well, Breckin Meyer, Jonathan Angel, Chris Demetral, Rodney Harvey & Jay R. Ferguson.
I used to know David Arquette too
