American On Purpose (2009)
“Helen would never have left Britain—she loved it there—and I had wanted to be wherever she was, but all of that was over now.
It was time for the States. A fresh start.
Unfortunately, I was flat broke and couldn’t conceivably make the trip without at least some money. Borrowing it from the bank was not an option—I’d already had the last of my credit cards cut up in front of me by an embarrassed liquor-store clerk who had called Amex to see why I’d been declined.
I got a few gigs and made some money, but I couldn’t hang on to it, because with Helen gone, the brakes were off and I was getting fucked up all the time, which wasn’t cheap.
Finally I caught a break when the BBC cast me in a movie to be filmed in Glasgow called The Bogie Man. It starred Robbie Coltrane (he plays Hagrid in the Harry Potter movies) as a nutter convinced he is Humphrey Bogart who winds up solving a real murder. The stunning English actress Fiona Fullerton, already internationally famous for playing a Bond girl... in A View to a Kill—she takes a Jacuzzi with Roger Moore and is murdered while wearing a sexy scuba outfit—was cast as an investigative journalist who has an affair with my character, a detective.MoreLess
