From HEBREW AND ADRIFT
From HEBREW AND ADRIFT: THE ENSIGN’S EMPTY JOURNEY FROM NURSE TO NOWHERE.
Little, Brown. 2007.
Excerpted from chapter seven ‘Another Borrowed Bed’
“…. feeling let down by his inability to stay with any one agent for more than 24 hours, the bearded Jewish character player drowned his sorrows that night in a casserole of oatmeal, oat bran, oat flakes, and Annie Oakley re-runs. His belly distended like a horse after a binge, he slept restlessly, dreaming that his role in Victim of Love: The Shannon Mohr Story had been dubbed by a frog.
He woke the next morning angry, bitter, and after a breakfast of oat bars and pureed oat juice, called his compatriot the Cmmdr to see if he had any work. Hearing the question in his study out in Los Angeles, the Cmmdr dropped the phone – unfortunately on his foot – and broke his big toe, leaving him out of work for a month. Which was not a disaster, as the Cmmdr's last gig was as an embryo in a Federally sponsered infomercial on stem cell abuse.
