0:00
obviously been doing this prior to that
0:02
right and it's you just never know being
0:03
in the right time um at the right place
0:06
and really when you jump out on faith
0:08
you took a leap of faith you know and
0:10
you ended up moving to La for a time
0:12
period right right and in that process
0:15
you became homeless where you was
0:17
sleeping in your car yes for four months
0:20
for four months mhm what what corner
0:26
was it wasn't even no I stayed in I
0:30
Studios um in the parking lot yeah cuz I
0:33
was working there oh wow so it was the
0:35
safest place to stay it's it's security
0:38
24/7 um they give us showers and it's
0:42
places you can eat and inside and I just
0:44
went to work go out go sleep in the car
0:47
go back to work do the same thing go
0:49

0:51
go to work I was working at the Dodger
0:54
Stadium too so I was going back and
0:55
forth like just hustling out there for
0:57
real did anyone know um a couple of
1:00
people that I you know that I knew that
1:02
I felt comfortable with telling and then
1:05
um it had got so crazy like I I had ow
1:08
probably like $2,000 on my car note like
1:10
I was behind so I was like I need to get
1:12
a little bit of help so I actually went
1:14
to go talk to somebody inside my job and
1:17
they had a program that like it's just a
1:19
resource program you fill it out and you
1:21
get you know they approve it then
1:23
they'll help you out so they end up
1:25
giving me $1,000 towards my car node so
1:28
like shout out to Universal Studios I
1:30
was like they on top of paying me you
1:32
know to work there so that was like a
1:34
blessing it was like I was just getting
1:36
Little Blessings from every type of way
1:38
you know like while I was out there and
1:40
then um one day I came out to my car and
1:44
I went to sleep I woke up the next
1:45
morning then I had got the email like if
1:48
you getting this message that mean that
1:49
it's time and that was the email to be
1:51

1:54
sleeping in your car when you got the
1:57

2:12
watching until maybe like December it
2:14
came out I think in October but I didn't
2:16
start watching till December so once I'm
2:18
watching it I'm like literally laying in
2:19
the bed like dang how do people get on
2:21
these type of shows because I never see
2:23
nothing about auditions or anything like
2:25
that so it it couldn't have been like a
2:28
month or a couple weeks later that that
2:30
um a casting director sent me an email
2:32
like hey my name's Brian and I'm trying
2:34
to see if you want to be on Rhythm and
2:35

2:45

2:56
researching him and then at the bottom
2:58

3:00
Jesse Collins entertainment so I was
3:02
Jessie Collins shout out to Jesse
3:05

3:20
