Certain actors, like Travolta, are claimed by nearly everybody. Cannon got him his first TV role as an awkward kid with a sprained ankle in NBC's Emergency! Stalmaster got him his big break, the part of chief sweat-hog in ABC's Welcome Back, Kotter. Feinberg almost got him his first movie. She had him fly from New York to California to audition for Coppola's Godfather II. To no avail; Robby Benson was given the job, and then cut out in the editing room...

But if you do poorly, you might do well to take the minicourse. If you think you just had a bad day, don't sweat and don't bother signing up.

Some, like Joe Ancis, were brilliant in the booth and on the street; Bruce once admitted that he owed maybe a third of his act to Joe. But Ancis trembled before the prospect of flop sweat. He never went onstage. Others, like Rodney, fought the flops, but never got out quite far enough. When he married Singer Joyce Indig, he was close to 30 and still far from the big time. He worried that long weeks working joints on the road would hurt the marriage...
