Just found this today, and couldn't help but find myself intrigued:Dan Wutzisnaam, failed actorDan's classically trained for the stage, but he's never quite made it onto the stage. He did fine in classes. He does fine on his own and around friends. It's just that, at auditions, with the lights and the shadows and the "show us what you have or we'll call you a talentless schmoe" going on? Let's just say Dan's stomach contents tend to get very ... jumpy.So enough with being in front of the audience. Now Dan's going to be a writer/director! It's a great notion, except that he has absolutely no ideas for a play or a movie or a TV show. In the meantime, he needs something to pay the bills. Ghostbusters may just solve both his dilemmas, giving him grist for the writing mill and keeping a roof over his head. And if his stomach problems come back in this line of work, well, he can always blame it on possession.The InterviewDan walked in humming "I Believe in You" softly, head held high. He was ready for this. He walked past the row of people patiently sitting and waiting their turn, and plopped his headshot-resume on the front desk."Hi. I'm Dan. I'm here to interview for--"That was as far as he got when his stomach started making The Noise. He knew what it meant, and tried to hide the panic in his voice as he asked, "um ... where's your bathroom?"Five minutes, one hurl and two dry heaves later, a much less confident (and considerably paler) Dan emerged from the bathroom. He popped two of those super-fast-melt breath strips in his mouth, wiped again at the spot he'd blotted clean on the front of his shirt begging it to dry already. Then he sat down gingerly, trying his best to sport a smile.Muscles - 3*Belt showtune 1*The show must go on 2Brains - 3*Peg other's motivation 1*Plot conventions 1*Eye for detail 1Moves - 3*Nervous (projectile) vomiting 1*Stage fighting 2Cool - 2*Character acting 1*Work the crowd 1*Tongue lashing 1</blockquote>
