Career Opportunities

Career Opportunities is a 1991 comedy romance starring Frank Whaley, Jennifer Connelly, and Dermot Mulroney.

Frank Whaley plays the dorky son of a local cement contractor who lives at home and has no direction.

Jennifer Connelly plays the gorgeous daughter of a wealthy businessman who dreams of leaving town.

Now, here’s where you have to suspend reality. He hooks up with her. But no way in the world ─ not even with two fistfuls of yen ─ does this little wimp hook up with that fine piece of change.

And that point was driven home all the more when I was watching The Blacklist the other night and saw the way he’s “matured” ─ not well. But he’s in one of the most classic movie scenes ever ─ I’ll do that one tomorrow.

Jennifer Connelly has 52 acting credits. The only memorable one in my mind is one where she’s wading into a river topless, although I don’t remember the title. Btw I still woulda loved to nail her even after I found out she was a vegan.

And that was Dermot Mulroney sliding off the back of the rocking horse.

My first book – Born to Be Wild – was published in 1992 and is still selling on Amazon & Kindle. It’s a true story about certain members of the Warlocks motorcycle gang.

The story took 21 years to play out with many twists & turns. It’s an amalgam of Sons of Anarchy and Breaking Bad – but these outlaw bikers make the Sons look like Cub Scouts.
