A Hollywood Story: A True Story

By James A. Rice

A HOLLYWOOD STORY is the TRUE STORY about how a young man lived inside two major movie studios for three years in pursuit of a show biz dream. After being kicked out of Cal State, Long Beach and evicted, James found himself on the streets of Hollywood. After an open mic night at the comedy store and too many sleepless nights on the streets of Hollywood, an open door led him to walking into the Sunset Gower Studios, a stage where they filmed the TV show Moesha.

Once inside, he lived atop the catwalks of STAGE 1 for a few months, getting an audition from Keith Wolfe a casting agent, placing a screenplay on a production office desk of Big Ticket Television and trying to make connections for work, but soon his luck would run out. After being chased off the lot by armed guards, perplexed on what to do next, James jumped the fence of Paramount Studios later that night. He would end up living inside Paramount Studios for the next three years, hidden in plain sight, acting like he belonged in this world of actors, acting not for a paycheck, but merely to survive to keep his dream alive.

Put simply, this is a true story like no other
