When I graduated from college, there just weren't that many jobs for a history major. I'd gone to school in Chicago, although I'd grown up in Southern California. I stayed there as long as my money held out. But eventually, I had to move back home. I went to Chicago to get away from them, and four years had done nothing to improve the situation. Which was why I took the first job I found that allowed me to get a place of my own.
I worked in Chatsworth for a talent agent I shall call "Morris Goldfarb". Some of you may wonder what a talent agent was doing in Chatsworth. Well, that's at the heart of the "other Hollywood." They make films there, but you won't see them in the theater. These are the kind that you enjoy in the privacy of your own bedroom, if you get my drift.
It was a terrible job. He paid just above minimum wage, and I was a combination of gofer, secretary, personal assistant and janitor. On the other hand, I'd done almost everything involved in the business, contacting both clients and production companies, doing the paperwork and signing contracts, keeping the books – you name it. It was a lot of responsibility for a 23 year old, but college must have been good for something, because even in Morris' sink-or-swim management style, I'd mostly swum.
I'd only been there for a few months when I came to work one day and Morris wasn't there. I found out that he'd gotten some 15 year-old girl work in the industry. He'd sold the production company a total bill of goods. Arranged a fake ID, swore up and down about her to them, taught her how to act. They'd made two or three films with her before the truth came out. The company was in deep, deep shit. But Morris was in even deeper. So he took a permanent vacation to Brazil or some other country without an extradition treaty.
So my options were pretty narrow. Either I could go back home to the parents or I could take over the agency and see if I could make a go of it. I'd never really been in Morris' offices during interviews and things, but I'd done nearly everything else. I figured it wouldn't be too hard. And I wouldn't have to share any profits with him. It was risky and stupid, but a damn sight better than living with Mom.
The first week was crazy. There were calls from clients at all hours. I discovered, to my concurrent surprise and disgust, that Morris specialized in people that did the fetish stuff. The crazy kind of shit you see on the internet – not the donkey stuff, but the stuff that's somewhat legal in one or two of the more liberal states – those were his clients.
I had a phone call from a girl that did watersports. Not the kind with skis or in a pool. She had a urinary tract infection that turned her pee green. Some woman came in and offered to take a crap on my carpet. Apparently there's a market for that stuff. There were people who specialized in playing with balloons. Seriously. There were others that wore furs or superhero constumes. Apparently Morris represented at least half of DC Comics' roster. A couple of midgets, several amputees and I don't want to go into how many transsexuals rounded out the visits I got. There was even this couple (and I believe they really were a couple off-camera) who would pretend to be mother and son. I'm not telling you this to titillate or disgust you. I just want you to understand why I acted the way I did.
Then, one day, I was in Morris' office, feeling pretty good about myself. The casting couch lay yet unused, but the clients seemed to be accepting me, a couple of checks had come in, and I thought I was getting the hang of things. There was a knock on the door and I opened it to find a man and a woman. It's important to note at this juncture that there definitely was not a dog. They thought I was Morris and they said they'd heard that I was the one to look up if you did fetish type stuff.
I sat them down on the couch across from the cluttered desk. The man spoke first.
"We have this thing. We thought it would be appropriate for burlesques or strip clubs. I heard you could set that up."
Porn stars make most of their money stripping. They go on a circuit, like a tour, to strip clubs around the country. Morris would set that up, and he had a list of clubs in his rolodex, so I was nodding at them. I'd set that stuff up before.
But then the wife continued, "Well, maybe we could put our act on DVD. There's some stuff we can only do once, and I'd hate to waste it on a single show."
Now they had my attention. Stuff you can only do once? I hadn't heard that one before. But I told them I could arrange all of that.
"So what exactly do you do – some companies specialize in certain acts," I asked.
