Oily,
The drama teacher says my acting career will never amount to more than a hill o’ beans. Despite not knowing what that means, I’m assuming it ain’t positive as she always gets the class to laugh at me whilst I’m taking my turn on stage.
I have done all the classes and got top marks like, but my protruding tooth, flaming ginger hair and the mole sitting on the end of my nose are a hindrance. Any tips?
Bob, Over There

Hi Bob,
A sad story, but there is inspiration out there. My fellow Oscar winning actor Ron Jeremy is no oil painting as you seen from his role in genteel Sunday night period dramas, Go Down on Abbey and Rockford’s Piles.
With his pot belly, webbed toes and dubious taste in sandals, Ron is no Ryan Gosling, yet pneumatic, breathy, stiletto wearing, badly dubbed girls the world over have loved him dearly. Frequently. All at once. Sometimes involving implements to!
So there is hope

Oily is such an inspiration … and to think I thought he may belittle Bob.
The man is all heart Frank!
Someone has to get George Clooney to stop writing in to these advice columns.
GIVE IT UP, CLOONEY!
Rumbled!
Oily, always encouraging others! What a guy.
They broke the mould….
Oh I am so pleased there is HOPE!….. 🙂
Wishing you a Great Mid Week Evening Ginger.. the Sun came out to play too today 🙂 xxxx All good for Oily’s tan 🙂
Just back from London Sue and the boy is fair sizzling in his vegetable oil lotion…
Yes, you its a glorious day again today here too. So off now to the allotments 🙂 xxx
Don’t go slipping now in all that veggie oil 😉 🙂
I will be like a walls banger frying in the pan!
Two peas in a pod. Ron and Oily.
Sadly you have hit the nail on the head John
Bob: Darth Vader made a name for himself. A little creativity and you can too
Oily Vader! Or darth bob?
I think maybe you should consider a career as a motivational speaker. For aspiring actors.
Breathe and now imagine you are trees in the wind……..
I routinely fall out of trees. The swaying is not helping.
Ok you are a leaf……
There is always hope! I’ve always wondered who inspired Steve Buscemi to take those first head shots and get an agent. Oily needs to give it a try!
Ever since reservoir dogs I have been a huge fan of his – but if ever someone had a face for radio……
I love his roles and once saw an interview where I not only learned more about what an interesting guy he is, but also thought he was more attractive than in his character makeup. But in an industry known for artificial beauty he really had guts to put himself out there. I tend to like that kind if person! 🙂
Agreed and he did a noble thing on 9/11
With the basic building blocks of a sterling Hollywood career in place, Bob hardly needs to worry. And, there is even Bollywood as a fall-back option, always looking for top talent to copy the heroine’s moves in dance sequences.
Bobby wood!
Ah Ron Jeremy. The Hedgehog of movie stars! He has some “unique” features that pointed him the the right direction and to enabled him to go deep and hard in Hollywood!
He had a difficult entry to begin with though…..
Ha! “Ron Jeremy is no oil painting”. I have never heard that phrase. But I’m using the hell out of it now.
Good
I’m wondering if the tooth protruded sufficiently far to bite off the mole on the nose. Self-improvement is always a good start.
We can only live in hope
Would that be “go down Abby” or “hoe down Abby” … after all, there are the farms …
As goes the red hair: need I say Damian Lewis? Hot dang …
I will dig out my Damian Lewis Famous Ginger profile for you. PHWOAR!!!!
Besides that ol’ Oily offers such a profoundly meaningful and helpful response here, I enjoyed his reference to the always-impressive Mr. RJ, because it reminded me of when my spouse and I went to a local eatery where the orders are called out when ready by name—a name on a little card that is handed to the would-be diner at the ordering counter and is always that of some celebrated being, say, Margaret Thatcher or Edward Scissorhands or Seattle Slew. We were honored with the opportunity for my date to dash up to the counter to collect our food when the server shouted out “Ron Jeremy”! Classy people, that’s us. It’s only a pity that we had ordered burgers and not sausages.
Brilliant!
