I'd always talked about making a go of it in Hollywood, but had never really tried. I sent out some scripts, took some meetings. Ten years earlier I had gotten so many rejection letters; now the same agencies were pitching me. I had a good meeting at Warner Bros. and my agent at William Morris helped negotiate me an offer on a blind pilot script deal. That means they're hiring me not for a specific idea, but on the strength of my work that they've read. It means I'll be playing in a bigger field.
I tend to spend so much time worrying about doing a good job that I'm not real good at allowing myself the opportunity to enjoy a moment. Last night, however, I was at a Beverly Hills restaurant, drinking a martini and my cousin was encouraging me to bask in my success. I'm trying to enjoy this, but generally speaking, I'm thinking about the work ahead.

Writer Make Good
MY FRIEND Rob Sheridan wrote a lovely first person account of his career rise in the National Post. Now imagine what would happen if Canadian papers thought to profile more actors, writers & directors BEFORE they left for the USA? Hmm?
