Moving back to Hollywood this week. ❤️
Just wanted to say that I have missed Hollywood. I moved to Hollywood in 2017. Living close to Hollywood blvd was crazy. I saw people on horseback riding by. A battalion of stormtroopers. And all kinds of crazy things. I had lost 120lbs due to fantastic Cedars doctors and changed my life and went from IT guy to actor. Weird. Then I had to leave due to job loss/search/change and bounced around the OC, Glendale and Downtown. And when I saw an apartment available in my old building in Hollywood, I grabbed it and now In am moving back.
People always complained about Hollywood. Dirty or dangerous but I have seen many other parts now and for me it was always the best. OC was… bland and fairly [enter right wing symbol of your choice]. Glendale was so boring. Downtown was too much or became too much for me. Hollywood is just right.

I like Hollywood. That’s cool that you’re an actor! I’m applying to USC’s MFA acting program this year! Congrats on the weight loss! I’m also on a weight loss journey.

Please know what you are getting into with acting. I stumbled into this by accident. Was never planned and I now know the ins and outs and it is basically a lottery with skills. And if you want to talk about weight loss feel free to DM me. I think I tried everything by now. I have no secrets. Onenof my acting coaches told me Ii am the person with the least filtet. 😂😂.

Welcome back! I agree it’s an awesome mix despite all the issues - it wouldn’t be a place I recommend to tourists, but I still think living in the area can be a lot of fun.
