I have two distinct lives. One in the trenches of low-budget film and television, the other in professional gambling. Because of the feast-or-famine nature of show business I need a reliable income... gambling. So here you will read about both worlds. Enjoy!

Some data points for your listeners, regarding casinos that started requiring ID, just to get inside, after COVID:

I know of three places in Indiana that do. One of them ran my ID through a computer, and it showed my picture, with a big caution warning (that the next guy did NOT have,) and I was stopped a few minutes later at a table before I could place a single bet.

Conversely, I was recently in Mississippi, and went to seven places. I think only one, if that, required me to show ID to get in, and it did not stop me from playing there, even though I have been barred dozens of times from MS casinos.

Awesome show, as usual.
