My next-door neighbor is a celebrity

I love LA. I was chatting with my next-door neighbor (also named Brent) today and we got to discussing what his college-age son is doing this summer.

Brent: He's interning at the agency that represents me.
Me: Huh?
Brent: It's a literary agency.
Me: Oh, cool. Um, so what kind of stuff do you write?
Brent: Well, movies.
Me: Anything that I'd know?
Brent: Ever heard of Short Circuit?
Me: I think so. Was that in the 80's?
Brent: And Tremors. Also Wild, Wild West.
Me: Oh, yeah. Definitely. That's so cool. I didn't know I lived next-door to a celebrity.

For those who don't know, Tremors was this pulpy thriller about bone-sucking giant desert worms that terrorize a group of people. With Kevin Bacon and Michael Gross (the dad from Family Ties). Excellent stuff, really. I am so honored to be living next door to the man who helped dream up those bone-sucking giant desert worms. Also, I wonder if he knows Will Smith. :)
