The only dramas I see in production in LA -- and I bump into them everywhere -- are the two NCIS shows. I swear, NCIS: LA is stalking me, having shot three times in my neighborhood, once on the beach close to where my mom lives, and one time a half block from where I used to work. Alas, I have not been able to get Daniela Ruah to acknowledge my existence. You'd think the fact I drive the same car as LL Cool J on the show would get me some notice, but no.
And no, it isn't just me. Of my apx. 200 Facebook friends, nearly 30 are unemployed, and another 15 or so are underemployed. Almost half of those in dire (or near dire) straits live in the LA area. Today I had to resort to creating a 100th version of my resume (only slight hyperbole), this one focusing on my days working and managing various retail outlets because -- sigh -- I'm now having to apply to work retail again.
