How many of us have crossed paths with the rich and famous? I can honestly say I have been fortunate enough to cross paths with several rich and very famous people. I can also honestly say I have God to thank for granting me my wishes and blessing me so many ways.In this short story -Terry Sparkes is quite the actor. I also think the author, Duncan Whitehead is quite a talented writer in that he was witty enough to mention his other novel "The Gordonston Ladies Dog Walking Club" in this one. In an "Actor's Life - A Short Story" the main character is an amateur, but he is smart enough to follow a successful actor in Hollywood. Not only is Sir Michael Brooks a renown actor - he is also the richest. Little does Terry know his life is about to change forever.Riches and Fame! How many of us wish for this, but so often never reach our goal - maybe it's because we quit trying and just give up on our dreams. I believe it is the irony to a lot of people in a lot of situations. But that doesn't mean we cannot be happy with what we achieve in our lifetime.I hope this author wins an Oscar for his performance. He has my vote and so does this short story that is witty and very well crafted.Jeannie Walker - Award Winning Author - "Fighting the Devil" - A True Story of Consuming Passion, Deadly Poison, and Murder
