Spoke with an emerging writer who is making the same mistake I made at the beginning of my career. After my first gig on Nash Bridges, I didn’t land my next one (#TheShield) for 18 months.
I was supporting a wife and 2 kids. Living on residuals & credit cards. I cashed in a small pension, ran out of people to borrow money from. I was scared I would never work in Hollywood again.
So I ceded control of my career to my reps. I took all of their notes, gutted my writing, toned things down, stopped advocating for myself, turned the hustle over to them. My agent didn’t get me and I didn’t work until I got my own job.

#TheShield was inspired by the LAPD Rampart scandal involving LAPD's CRASH unit. Community Resources Against Street Hoodlums. That should tell you a lot.
Over 70 cops were accused of wrongdoing. Look it up. Pretty interesting stuff. Cops acting as criminals.
#TheShield was originally announced as RAMPART. LAPD shit itself. They threatened to sue FOX if we ever mentioned that our show was based on the LAPD.
