Freddy moved to Hollywood. He loved it. He got a backer, a producer of pornos named Mike Weldon. (He sat in on a shoot once, but was asked to leave because he started laughing. "Don't you understand," Weldon told him, "these girls think they're serious actors, OK?")

And in my neighborhood, if you were good at anything, you got respect. It didn't matter. I mean, there was a famous kid—he was famous because he could pee across the street. So the fact that I was now the best pool player in the neighborhood, pretty quick I was big."
