    “Can’t you feel ‘em circlin’, honey
    Can’t you feel ‘em schoolin’ around
    You got fins to the left, fins to the right
    And you’re the only bait in town…” – Jimmy Buffett

    From: “Eat Your Heart Out” by Nick Hall:

    CHARLIE: If there’s one thing I can’t stand in the theatre, it’s walking out alone on stage at the beginning of the evening to open a show cold. (Grins.) But it’s better than waiting tables. I’m Charlie, (Iron­ic.) … your waiter for the evening. I’d rather be on-stage tonight. Waiting tables is a toy job. You probably don’t know what a toy job is. I’ll explain. A toy job is a job that you don’t really care about, that you do to make a living, while you wait for the chance to do the job you want to do. (Beat. He measures the audience.) But maybe you know already. Being a waiter is sort of a standard job for an actor; it’s expected. I mean, if you’re a den­tist or an insurance salesman and someone says: “where’re ya’ workin’ nowadays?,” and you say, “I’m a waiter at this little French place on fifty­sixth street,” they think you’re a failure. But if you’re an actor, they understand…..

    @blunebottle

    Saw an interview with Burt Reynolds. He said he became a stunt man because when you’re in a bar and somebody asks you what you do, and you mumble, “I’m an actor”, they assume you’re saying, “I’m unemployed.” But if you can say, “I’m a stunt man,” that’s cool.

    Didn’t he also have a stint as a plumber? Been a long time since Saturday night so I don’t recall clearly.

    I believe Harrison Ford was a roofer before Star Wars.
