KWON, Yea I did see a small bit of the Falcon's work and to be perfectly honest I was somewhat impressed.
Impressed enough by that short clip that I think I sent him some encouragement to get an AGENT. (At least I hope I did).
I've argued this "Get an Agent - Get to Hollywood" theme with a few GetBiggers who usually retort that, "It's impossible!", but my own personal experience is the complete opposite as each and every friend I had who had "Hollywood potential" has done very well for a good number of years with no help from me whatsoever except for a few occasions.
One who went to Hollywood after a few brief words of encouragement ended up as the love interest of Elvis in one of his early movies, another had a starring role opposite Gary Cooper and Ruth Roman (long ago) and continuous appearences in major TV series, another became one of the top stunt guys in the movies and a friend to just about every major Hollywood star in the business and the main guy who 'took care' of major problems that the studios wished to remain a secret (sometimes with my help as the go-between).
Three have been apes in the Planet series, How the West Was Won, Once Upon a Time in the West, The Virginian, Get Smart, the tormented bear in the woods movie (someone named it once), each Goldie Hawn movie, etc.
And lately others have appeared in numerous films with the likes of Ferrigno and Arnold and others you're most likely aware of.
And I've been priviledged to be on set for a few of these SuperHero movies that have been so damn popular these past few years because various family members have been working non-stop for five + years except during one of the major strikes a few years back.
And GUS (good old Gus) ... he played BUZZSAW and played him well in his attempt to kill off Arnold's character. And then he went on to play some principal monster in THE HOUSE or whatever the hell the name of that movie was.
As for me, I never had acting aspirations but have appeared in a couple of films and totally f,,,k'ed up a couple of scenes in which every one on the set could hear, "CUT! CUT!
What the hell are you doing?!!!" And then I get knocked over by Sinatra or his double (I never actually looked because I had no idea I'd be getting knocked over by anyone!).
And much much more positive stuff.
So I can honestly say that my friends and family member's experience with Hollywood movie making has always been very lucrative and NEVER unsuccessful. And I can also tell you that you've seen them many times while you're enjoying a movie.
Been lucky that way, I guess because when this subject comes up ... it always leads to an argument because someone tried and had no success at all.
