Gold

Let me say this right here and now, I am not a fan of Jamie Gold, and I have my own strong opinions regarding the ruckus he created (guilty or not) on that "gentleman's agreement thing" during that infamous WSOP incident, but I will not dwell on that here. At least not today, for now, let me just talk about the person, a bit of his background.

As you all know, this poker player is connected to Hollywood in more ways than one, and he started his career in this line at age sixteen. He served as intern for the J Michael Bloom and Associates Travel Agency, and he was already a talent agent prior to turning 21 years old.

Right after his Ultimate Victory at WSOP, a website article came out asserting that in fact, Gold had very scant experience as an agent, but other entities came to his rescue by coming out with their respective statements that Gold in fact, is a competent agent with sufficient experience going for him.

Well, the hell with it, I personally do not care if he has scant or great amounts of experience. It would matter with me if Paramount Pictures gives me a call to offer me a leading role, which is as probable as the ozone hole magically closing itself up tomorrow at dawn.
