Arik, it is a reference to Starsky & Hutch. Hutch refers to Starsky as his Tiny Dancer. ;D They say that's the bet way to break into the business is to have a job like that. Then you know people you can submitt your screenplay to, audition for, etc, etc...is he an aspiring anything? I concidered taking a job like that so I can get on the inside....but didn't. Thanks for asking, Bubbles4play. His aspirations are screenwriting and writing plays. He has actually had some success. He won a "Best Writer" Dramalogue award many years ago. For several years life has gotten in the way, so he hasn't written anything lately. But you are right, he makes great contacts and has gotten one screenplay pretty far (at different times) through some of those contacts. But it always seems to get to a certain point and then... nothing. Everyone is always very excited. They'll do read throughs with actors (popular actors even) - but when it comes to really putting money on the line... nothing. He'll keep trying though. This one screenplay has become a mission almost. I think because it has gotten so close in the past.
