Tim describes his own small indie movie role and a big film cameo he can't name yet, then discusses how successful young actors eventually try to become "real actors" in New York and sometimes collapse into drugs when the transition fails.
- Tim did one scene in an indie movie where he plays the weird guy yelling at attractive people on a bus in a romantic comedy.
- Being a hot actor with no real talent is a plum gig because everyone treats attractive, successful people with constant kindness and deference.
- A collapse inevitably happens for young, hot, rich actors who can't transition when their looks and early success stop carrying them.
- Hot actors get heat in L.A., move to New York, take photos in alleys looking tortured after 48 hours, then try to become 'real actors.'
- Some of them don't make the leap to serious roles and crash hard, though they're still rich and gorgeous so the damage is relative.
- The only person who can truly take things away is the Lord, so that collapse is around the corner for these actors.
