Description

Here's an excerpt I did for a fictional piece where I was asked to be as realistic as possible, including mumbles, scratches, breaths, long thoughts, smacks, smoking, eating, drinking, etc. As a method actor, I enjoyed this direction, but put a slightly more polished version here for a demo.

I'm a detective, I detect things I watch, I listen, I surveil I string logic together to find the gaps where logic won't connect and then I keep scratching till the missing pieces reveal themselves, usually in the secrets of people who can't decipher good from bad. So they gamble hide their misdeeds, then lose and deny, which makes them scoundrels whose last line of defense is to scream, Don't you know who I am, I hate Hollywood, there's too much muck floating around in the air and the pollution is bad too. They say it's the city of angels because of all the unsolved deaths that haunt the basin. I think it's because Angelenos float around living in their dreams and imaginations. Hollywood is an imaginary town created by imaginary people in order to create a delusion and avoid reality. It's easy to lose your sense of self when so many Hollywood types seem to know who you're supposed to be but don't know themselves. Everybody plays a role in Hollywood, pretending to know what's good, which is really desperately avoiding the bad and that's far from good. It's a melange of masks and adulterous puppet masters screwing while trying not to get screwed or worse get caught doing either. That's the worst sin to get caught and have to scream. The only wild card that has any currency in Hollywood, don't you know who I am. It's a town filled with stories and stories within stories about stories told by storytellers with facades, actors, acting, actor slash producers, writers slash directors, Everyone has a slash in their title to indicate who they are slash who they wish to be. Nobody wants to be who they are. They want more, more power, more sex, more fame. At the very least they want their boss's job. Honestly, I'm no better. I'm a journalist slash detective slash screenwriter, journalist by profession, detective by obsession, screenwriter for money. I tell bullshitter is I'm a detective so they'll leave me alone worried that I'll ferret out their ********. Besides, they don't want my story as much as they want a bridge to continue telling their so stories as if my life is a commercial break in their main event. I don't want people to know who I am that I'm a professional journalist from back east who flies into Hollywood a couple months of the year to sell a script stitch. A few others then heads back before I get entangled in a web of imaginary lives and lies and can't find my way back to reality. Otherwise, some Hollywood type might get to fabricate my story for their own purpose while I'm suffocating in my grave with a dirty sock stuffed in my mouth, trying to scream, don't you know who I am
