Why am I not a movie star?
I went to school with a guy called Tom Payne. We were in the same class for at least a few years, I don't really remember. Anyway, today I read this about him, and a few other familiar faces:
Kevin Dunn has been tapped to co-star on HBO's drama pilot "Luck," with "Rome" alumna Kerry Condon and Tom Payne also set and Nick Nolte in talks for the horse drama starring Dustin Hoffman.
"Luck," from Michael Mann and David Milch, takes a look at the worlds of horse racing and gambling through a diverse group of characters surrounding a racetrack. It centers on an intelligent, intuitive tough man (Hoffman) who always has been involved with gambling.
I'm sure my big rise to stardom is just around the corner, but still, this is amazing. Hats off to the guy.
