Falling Star – 8

If there is a joke, if his life is a joke, then here is where he missed the punch line.  Here is where Heath Alexander Pine came to the junction.

David, who had been his best friend since forever had met him in the city where the Sy-Fy convention was held. And he, at the pinnacle of his fame, in costume, the cynosure of eyes, had treated David as a pair of disposable gloves.

And David had left.

Heath Alexander Pine had strolled about the Convention, his fans swarming.   He’d given his presentation.  The Convention ended, he returned to Hollywood, and shortly after, Signs of the Zodiac was canceled.

If there is a joke, here it is… the show was canceled and he couldn’t get another role because he was ‘difficult to work with.’

That is what was said.

At first he’d shrugged.  There were other places, other dramas, other roles out there, and he went on castings. Day after day… he’d read for a part, do well, be called back, but never get the role.

And his savings dwindled.

  1. Being an actor in Hollywood is playing American football. The story that the N F L stands for Not For Long since the average career of a football player is about four years. The acting business is very harsh on some actors when the show they work on get cancelled.
