The Alienist

Is that hard? And, and, and sorry, and was it hard after, especially when you've started finding real success in the types of Love/Hate and stuff like that, after that to start getting rejected again? Is that difficult?

I mean, there was a thing there, um, I think, um, like when I, I met you guys there a few years ago, I was doing a, I'd come off a show, an American show called The Alienist, and it was like a big budget show.

Um, like it was like 100 million or something, you know? And so I had, you know, suddenly there's somebody who wants to be your manager, and you're doing all this, and I remember, it was before COVID, and I was thinking, "Oh, yeah, this is it now.

I'll have so many meetings.

Um, I've got, uh, all the rings from my characters.

So Gaston and John Moore from The Alienist.

This actually is a ring I wore with, uh, Russell Crowe.

Actually, I love it so much, I wear it all the time.

And also, as I said, sadly relevant, maybe too relevant to modern audiences.

Have you ever read The Alienist by Caleb Carr? It's a mystery set in the late 19th century New York City.

Teddy Roosevelt as the police commissioner is a main character.

Sammy Mystery Theater has a lot of similar energy to that book.
