Folks....


Now you know I never ask for favors so this has to be important for me to post this... ( though I give out plenty of favours my self.. :))...


A friend of mine had some serious health issues a while back and was forced to leave FOX Sports.  He is well now and has spent the better part of the last year trying to get work in LA....  He has the chops but is having a tough time getting thru....


His resume is impressive..... ( some of his credits and work are below)


As a favour to me could this group orwell connected peeps, please advise on how he can break in all over again.....   


Pretty please.... any ideas at all.  His scoop is below and he has a great demo reel.
