Hollywood Ambition!

Vince Vaughn, George Clooney, Ben Affleck, Charlize Theron... and the list goes on and on AND it hasn't even been a year since I started working with the "Reel Talk" family!

Starting as the new production assistant, and now web producer for the show, has had some incredible perks, such as meeting the celebrities I just mentioned. But, what's even more exciting than having the chance to meet and speak with these A-listers, is getting the chance to see the incredible smarts and ambition these individuals possess. A characteristic tabloids almost always tend to "over-look." Sure, the big houses, the money, the fame and the parties, not to mention the attractive dating scene that surrounds Hollywood is always going to be an eye-catcher, but after being behind the scenes and speaking with these individuals one on one... I've learned that there really is so much more than what meets the eye. If only tabloids could focus on the way these people made it to fame and write articles about the way these celebrities work and do everything to teach themselves about every aspect in an industry that they love. For example, we had David Schwimmer on not too long ago and after spending a decade as an actor on a sitcom, he's now teaching himself and enjoying the craft of directing a film. Or, what about Charlize Theron, who is not only a gorgeous, Oscar winning actress, but also a marvelous movie producer.

I have been working on this show now for almost three months and I am in awe, not with the glamour these stars posess but with the intelligence, ambition and confidence they have. It gives me inspiration to go for what I want to do and maybe if tabloids focused more on what made these people "movie stars" more people would become inspired also. Don't you think? Thanks to meeting people with such a "high" status has made me a believer that no dream is too far as long as you have the drive and ambition to just GO FOR IT!
