Dear Denise Bella Vlasis, July 2009 I'm sure you get a lot of letters like this, but I just had to write you one myself. A few months ago I got a job working at a theme park as a Brendan Fraser look-a-like promoting a "Journey to the Center of the Earth" 4-D ride based on the movie that came out last year. Anyways, this was my first job as a look-a-like and I was so nervous. I was so afraid that my first day on the job would be my last if I bombed. So, I started researching on the net trying to figure out how I was going to pull it off. That's when I discovered your book on Amazon. Wow, among all of your other talents, you are a terrific author! Reading about your experiences and those of others made me feel so much more comfortable! If I had any idea that someone could actually make a living at this I might have tried it years ago!
I've really tried hard to follow your advice and honestly it has payed off. I got such a wonderful reception on this first job that I've decided to see how much further I can go with this business. I've really got the bug for it now and can't wait for another chance to work. I recently got an offer to work as a photo double on a new movie Mr. Fraser is making in Boston, but sadly I had to pass it up. Still, I was thrilled to even get the call! I'm trying to push forward and as of now I am working on a new costume, a press kit, and all of the stuff that you recommend in your book. When I get it all together I will send some more photos your way. In the meantime, I just wanted to thank you for sharing your insight. You seem like a wonderful person and I wish you continued success in all that you may pursue! Best Regards, Chad Smith
