Office phone rings...
"Good afternoon, Hollywood Adventist Church, this is Lennox."
Voice on the other end: "What's up, Lenny Len! I'm heading your way.
Got a spot in North Hollywood to show you."
I've been hoping to catch up with this guy for a few weeks now. He's got a lot going on, so I completely understand when our schedules don't coincide.
California Subs turns out to be everything he promised. Their mixed fruit smoothie and Italian Sub on sourdough leave nothing to be desired.
We talk about his growing success as an actor. His recent performance on CBS's Cold Case airs May 3.
I once asked him why it is that he gets roles when others can't even get auditions. He said, "You gotta know what you want and if anyone says you can't have it, that should upset you. If you tell me I can't get it, that pisses me off."
Today he adds, "I would much rather live on the dangerous side, than not realize my full potential."
I ask him what he likes so much about acting. He says it's the chance to feel so many different life experiences and make them his own. "You can experience firsthand what people go through."
I ask if he has fans. He replies, "at least one"
He was on audition recently and practicing his lines when another actor, auditioning for the same role, said "You were on Eleventh Hour, right? I only watched one episode and you were in it. I thought you were really good!"
At first he thought someone was playing a joke on him, but then he realized the guy was serious. Amazing to me how humble is this friend of mine, so talented, so informed, so brilliant.
I'm also a fan. I'd say you now have at least two fans, sir. My guess is there will be thousands more.
