Did you know that the "TMZ" in the TMZ website stands for "thirty-mile zone"? It's also known as the "studio zone" in Hollywood.
The center of the TMZ is the corner of La Cienega and Beverly Boulevards. The zone includes parts of Los Angeles County, Orange County and Ventura County.
Zach and I drove a lot of the zone yesterday because he had two call-backs and one new audition. I got lucky because I was able to spread the various audition times throughout the day to give me enough buffer to arrive at each location on time.
What do you think when I tell you our first call-back was a 10-mile drive from our place? I imagine you think it's a 15-25 minute drive. The drive from Sherman Oaks to Santa Monica took 52-minutes in rush hour traffic. Just a fact of life in Hollywood....
The second part of our drive was at lunch time (from Santa Monica to the AFI location in beautiful Griffith Park). The route took me through the city so there was a lot of "stop and start" driving.
We had a two-hour break between the second and third meetings. Zach took advantage of the break to have some lunch and stop by our place for a wardrobe change.
The final meeting was in beautiful downtown Burbank.
The hardest part of the entire process is happening right now for Zach. What is it?
Zach has to wait and hear if he got any of the jobs he auditioned for yesterday.
Cue the Tom Petty!
