A friend suggested that I go back to the basics and get an agent to submit my movie script and my poetry book for me, I also wanted to act and go on auditions, but I was never lucky on being able to get an agent, even after having attended the American Academy of Dramatic Arts. I went to some industry parties thrown by Rod Baron, etc, but I never had representation. Please if you know of a good agent to represent me then let me know. I like Paradigm, and I can send a letter to Paradigm to see if I can make any progress with a letter. And maybe I can connect with Paradigm on the web, we will see. I think the Paradigm Talent Agency could represent me well. ( Paradigm is located here in Hollywood. )

We will see what happens.

Meanwhile, France does not seem to be happy with Macron, we will see what happens. I love France, and Cannes is beautiful, I attended the Cannes Film Festival in 2000. We need for the Mexicans and for Latin Americans, and people from the Philippines, to be able to join the French Foreign Legion. I am part French, my Grandmother said a French Princess left France to escape the guillotine during the French Revolution and came to the United States, and Kentucky has Bourbon, and there is the Bourbon / Capetians, and my ancestors lived in Carrollton, Kentucky. I wish the best for France.

Salute,

Tony V. 

Agents cost a lot of money to hire?

No, Agents work for a percentage, they get 10% of whatever they help you earn, so you only pay them a percentage. But an Agent is extremely hard to get, you need to have connections, or be extremely handsome and talented. Maybe they will watch my You Tube videos and want me or read my posts and want me, but we will see. Agents are hard to get.

The first Agency that I tried to get was Writers and Artists, and they joined Paradigm. So Paradigm is a good Agency. If they like my You Tube Videos and my Movie Script and my Poetry Book then maybe they will represent me. And then when I make money I just pay them 10%.

Salute,

Tony V.

Thanks.

25 years ago the World Wide Web was better, and it was all set up to help us succeed. Actors Access, Backstage West, and others, had forums like here and like on the New York Times Forums that they had, and you could share your Headshots and You Tube Videos with the communities on the forums, etc. I was invited to industry parties with Rod Baron, and at clubs, and I was invited when they filmed the Inside the Actor's Studio interview with Clint Eastwood, and I was invited to be an extra in some projects, it was great. And Harvard had forums where I was teaching the Harvard Students about Shakespeare, etc, and about Machiavelli, etc, they loved me at Harvard, when I first tried to start my movie production company then a bunch of Harvard Students sent me resumes and job applications wanting to work for my production company, that made me feel so good, the Harvard Students wanted to work for me. Anyhow, 25 years ago there were many forums, with the Cinematographers, and Editors, and Writers, and Actors, and Models, and on and on, Harvard, New York Times, etc, it was all better 25 years ago. And 25 years ago we used Fax Machines, and I faxed Hugh Hefner my Movie Script so that he could read it, and he loved it, and we almost made my movie. I did not have to buy a 3 thousand dollar computer to send my script to Hugh Hefner, I simply faxed him my script. And we had KINKO's 25 years ago and they were great for copying scripts and stories, and poetry, etc.

But, now everyone is on Facebook. Which I guess started at Harvard. But, I liked the Forums that we had 25 years ago. And I liked America On Line. Etc. And Fax Machines.

Salute,

Tony V.

Hollywood is going to make a movie about the life of Queen Farah Pahlavi of Iran, who escaped to France where she now lives, she approved of the movie that is being made about her life. I look forward to seeing the movie.

Los Angeles now has over one million Persians from Iran who came to California to escape from the poverty of the sanctions, etc, and Mahlagha Jaberi lives here in California.

We need to support good human rights in the world, and we need to support good human rights for women, and education for women, etc. And we need to support the United Nations, etc.

And it is to the point now when we can have a special day at Dodger Stadium for the Persians from Iran who are Dodger fans.

I worked with a Persian lady at the Broadway Department Store in Pasadena, and she loved the fashion in America, and she loved the Beaches, she loved Zuma Beach.

Salute,

When I worked at Universal Studios back in 1995, we had the Universal Amphitheater for concerts, and we hired athletes and body builders to work the security at the Universal Amphitheater, we hired people who could bench press at least 300 pounds to do security.

Now that Tourist Season is in full swing then we need to step up security at the concerts, and clubs, and beaches, and Blvds, and parks, etc. And we need Undercover Cops, and CIA, and FBI, etc. The 7-Elevens all need security guards, etc.

We also need cheap hostels where people can shower and sleep for $15 per night, etc.

And we need to hook the refugees up with the Unions for jobs. 

And we have Wellness Centers, and Mental Health Associations, and Anaheim has people out patrolling the streets to pick up the homeless people to take them to shelters to get help.

Plus we have Kiwanis International, etc. And in Hollywood we have Children of the Night to help the homeless teens. Plus we have the Catholic Church, etc.

We have 50,000 Tourists per day coming to Anaheim, we are in full Tourist Season, and we need to have lots of Security, and Cops, and Undercover Cops at the parks, etc. The Beaches can hire extra Lifeguards, etc. And we need safe places for the kids, such as using the schools to have summer programs, and skateboard parks, and tennis courts, and Volleyball and Soccer and Baseball and other sports, and there is NASA, and the Key Club, etc, etc. There needs to be good activities for the youth. And we need to hire people to wash the sidewalks, and we need to make everything nice for the Tourists. And like Mr Rourke said on Fantasy Island, "Smiles Everyone, smiles." This will be a summer of fantasies for many of our tourists.

Salute,

Tony V.

Nothing that either of those guys say can be linked in any meaningful way to a single thing they believe.

The only thing either verifiably believes is in their ability to take advantage of daft wankers like you, mate. They have each built their infamous careers on it.

When migrants are being housed in a sporting stadium in Chicago, and in hotels in NYC, the country is full.

Everyone knows it is true

This phrase says you are not here to discuss.  Or, given the numerous posts here with facts on the shortage of new affordable housing, to listen.  And I can see why you would stop up your ears - the public policies that created the housing shortage were crafted by the right-wing that receives your misplaced admiration.

Zoning laws, incentives, and codes all steer builders towards high-end luxury homes, not affordable starter homes or singles units or HOAs geared towards a working class income.

It's not immigrants.  Stop bloviating.

I was fascinated to discover that a major force propelling Labour into power was bad dentistry.
