“I had a lot of jobs, because I wanted to be an actor, and I had this bad habit of wanting to eat regularly. So, I had to make some money somewhere. I was everything from a stock worker in an Alexander's department store to flower delivery person to a messenger to a grocery clerk to a gas station attendant. I even worked in Macy's dusting off fur coats for two weeks.” PersonsTwoWantedJobsActorsWeekFlowerHabitWorkersStoresDepartmentGasStationsCoatsTwo WeeksGroceriesFurDeliveryBad HabitsMessengersClerksGas StationsDepartment StoresFur CoatsMacy's Author:Lawrence Hilton-Jacobs
“It was like an explosion. You just don't get ready for it. I don't even know how you can, because you just don't expect it.

“I had no idea what effect something blockbustering would have. To me, it was just a job that I was trying to do the best I could. We had shot the first five shows before it went on the air. Then, it was this firecracker hit, and people were recognizing me, so it was just nuts. It was overwhelming, insane, wonderful and scary all at the same time. It's really peculiar that people see you on television and then think they have a personal relationship with you. So, they want to touch you, and grab you, and sit down and have lunch with you. It's strange, and you never get used to that.” PeopleThinkingWantTryingFirstsIdeasShowsJobsUsedFiveWonderfulAirEffectsTelevisionStrangeShotsDown AndScaryInsaneNo IdeaLunchOverwhelmingPeculiarNutsRecognizingDo The BestPersonal RelationshipsFirecracker Author:Lawrence Hilton-Jacobs
