| Q: Ollie, I saw some questionable practices on the set of a film I was recently on. What should I have done? I don't want to be known as a rat.
A: Rat on the rats, Fool! Who says you gotta broadcast your name? If you see something that ain't right and the fools on the set don't want to do it right then go someplace else. Like here. You ain't doing nobody no favors by leaving something that's not right alone. Looky heah, sloppy operations lead to accidents and bad press. If the film fools honestly don't know theyz messing up then, they learn. If the film fools does this kinda noise on purpose, then shut 'em down. That junk makes everybody look bad. |

| Q: Ollie, I just got an agent and they say I owe 15% because I'm non-union - is that right?
A: Your contract reads, 10% for union WORK & 15% for non-union WORK The percentage you pay your agent is based on the nature of your WORK - NOT YOU FOOL! Save yo'self some grief an' read your contracts and ask questions if you don't unnerstand. |
| Q: Ollie, you're the greatest! But I wanted to know, I'm SAG and I'm moving to another state. How will I find out SAG info in the state I'm moving to? A: How did you get your SAG card Fool? SAG can't find yo'ass if you don't tell 'em where youse at Fool! Yo gotta stay in touch and de bes way ista sign up on the SAG website - dig? |
| Q: Ollie, I wanted to get on this show so bad but when I called them to see if I could be one of the background, they said I was too fat. I was crushed. I have since found out that the same people make other disparaging comments to other people over the phone, being rude and smart alecky. Things like, "Well I guess you're not gonna be on this show huh?" Stuff like that. A: Dese are the jackasses that need to to be jack-slapped fo' sure! I pity the fool talk to me that way, I'd come to where dey at an' slap they silly face right offa dey haid. NOBODY got de right to be mean an' obnoxious to ANYONE over the telaphone, 'specially when dey is supposed ta be professionals. I would let the film office know about that kinda behavior. An' why is you calling dem? Make 'em work fo' dey money fool! Dat's what dey getting paid fo' not you! |
| Q: Ollie, I hear you're just saying stuff about things people already know. What's the story? Is that true? A: Right! That's why these thangs keep happenin' - because people "know" about dem. Hush up fool! |
| Q: You better be careful what you say Ollie, I heard about what you've said on the set of a show I did and some people were not happy. Doesn't that worry you? A: In a word - NO fool! What I says here is Gospel truth an' some folks cain't handle that simply because they conscience won't let dem. Instead of being at ease with dey selves and doing a great job on de set dey gotta be running around acting the fool an' finding fault with other folks. |
| Q: Ollie, I am so upset, I paid a lot of money to attend a workshop here locally and I was told that I would be seriously considered for any upcoming auditions. That was a year ago and I haven't gotten one phone call. What do I do? A: Dis is de stuff BS is made of! THEY gonna consider you - yeah, right fool! , mebbe when dey filling dey face at Micky Dees dey thinks "whatevah happen to old whatzzisface?" Dat is a version of the BS scam where you go to a workshop and pays good money to be seen, some folks call it "paying to audition" 'cause dey MIGHT remember to call you. HA! It is a definate certaintee that if you DON'T go to one of dese workshops you is shirley NOT gonna be called an' if you call dem, dey say your type wasn't needed. (But your homie, who took the workshop did get called) Think on dat for awhile fool! |
