    Porn Star.

    Actually, that's not completely accurate. My role is actually as a Stunt D---. You see, the porn guy does his job with the hot chick, and when it's time for the money shot, I come in and finish the job. It's a tough job, but somebody has to do it, and from the proceeds, I was able to afford my 308 GT4.

    Maybe if I get more jobs, I can one day afford a newer ferrari.

    I used to have Dom's job but he underbid me. That is why I have a 348 spider and he has a GT4.

    No hard feelings, though.

    Cheers

    Well I did a summer art internship with Richard Avedon as a kid (unpaid) loading his cameras and getting coffee mostly.
    First real paid job was working summers at the Meadow Club in the Hamptons.
    After dropping out of college, my next paid gig was as a production assistant to a producer @ Paramount Studios while moonlighting with another that I'll say had something to do with 007 ;) I was a workaholic.
