Robert Dunnings stood on the balconey of his L.A mansion and took in a deep breath of the polluted air
"Beutiful" he sighed to himself.The night air was warm and with his glass of red wine in one hand and a joint in the other it would have been perfect but for the fact there was no stars, but hell he was in L.A, if he wanted stars he could go his mansion in Lisbon or London or even spend some time on his island.Not tonight. Tonight Robert was wiating for an old friend to come and pick him up 'Tonights the night I finally take you out Bob' Danny Williams had told him earlier on the phone, for his own reasons Robert was releaved.
He sat on his sofa and flicked on the T.V to watch the news, the presidents aprouval was at an all time low and some woman was screaming into the camera telling the world that America was going to hell.Talk like this bored Robert and he found himself looking at the awards that sat on a shelf about a foot abouve the T.V. Five oscars was bad and he honestly could have won more if he wanted.

Robert never forgot were he came from or how he got to where he was today, which is where his old friend Danny Williams came into things.
At the age of 18 Robert Dunnings was himself homeless after leaving New york in the hope of becoming an actor, within 6 months he had never got further than a first audition and as money dried up so did his landlords patience and the next 6 months were spent in shelters or up dark alleyways.On the morning of an audition for a film Robert decided to end it all.No food.No home.No hope.Robert went to the audition a broken man. The man holding the audition was named Danny Williams, he took
