    The pool of talent wanting to be in film is incredibly large - when Iived there it felt like half of LA was trying to make it in the entertainment business. Even the LA Police have casting leave written into their contracts in case they pick up a part.

    Hospitals. You end up seeing a lot of serious things and it tends to make you think disease is everywhere.
