Hah thanks Cathy! I have many more too but it is hard to remember specific instances. Maybe it’s good that they fade from memory? Of course, once you write about it in depth it will never leave…

The scream across the club, the nerves, the lack of memory. Great story.

I remember a horrible audition for Robert Zemeckis. I read the scene, he gave me direction, and I didn't hear a word he said. The only thing going through my mind was Robert Zemeckis Robert Zemeckis Director of Back to the Future...

Feedback from my manager? "They said you didn't take direction well."

Duh! Haha.
