I was folding laundry at the house I babysit / organize at, when the hot tub guy motioned for me to come out, so I did.
"Do you know what happened to the hose?" he said. I didn't, but this moment led to us talking for a while, which led to him encouraging me to keep going with my acting pursuit.
He said, "I know people that started out just like you, and now I'm cleaning their hot tubs." (How a guy who cleans hot tubs for a living has the ability to encourage aspiring actresses I don't know, but he does seem to like movies a lot, especially Marvel ones and anything with Adam Sandler.) "You just have to be weird," he said, "Be yourself, and be weird."
His example story was that Adam Sandler's dad used to call him a moron when he was younger, "but look where he is today." (Being a moron.. in movies? I'm just kidding. I appreciate Adam Sandler, but I just thought the hot tub guy was funny.)
