July 25, 2005 "Kids in the Biz: A Hollywood Handbook for Parents" by Troy Rutter (AHS 1992)
Troy Rutter,
AHS 1992, has recently published
a how-to book on getting your son or daughter into the TV/Film industry
called "Kids in the Biz: A Hollywood Handbook for Parents." Troy spent
seven years in California working for Warner Bros., Universal Studios and
CBS doing everything from designing and maintaining the web sites for
"Babylon 5," "The West Wing," "Rosie O'Donnell," "Friends," and more - to
being a writer on the game show "Pictionary" starring Alan Thicke. In 1998,
he appeared three times on the TV show "7th Heaven," which allowed him the
opportunity to join the Screen Actors Guild. Troy has since relocated back
to Ames and can be seen as one of the lead characters in the musical "The
Fantasticks" showing at the ACTORS studio in September. It is directed
by Amanda Lloyd Julson, another Ames High Graduate and features several
other alumni as well. |
