A Seat at the Superstar’s Table

by Todd Mercer

Until lightning strikes I'm a yes-man in the entourage of a legendary actor. It's festive, sometimes, but patience-testing when my guy acts impulsively or fusses about if my job's done. Trust me, dog. It's under control. I laugh when he jokes, practice saying, "Great idea!" My responsibilities.
