A series of advice columns by someone who has worked and lived in Hollywood for years. Much of what I share are anecdotal, but there are good rules of thumbs and things I wish I knew before coming to Los Angeles myself.  I figure that, perhaps, others might be interested in knowing, learning and maybe laughing in the process.

Rule #5
