Moresco struggled to make that long walk a few blocks east.He studied acting,turned out for all the cattle calls (临时演员的招募)and during the decade of the 1970s made a total of $2,000.“I wasn’t a good actor,but I had a driving need to do something different with my life,” he says.
He moved to Hollywood,where he drove a cab and worked in a bar in the night.“My father said,‘Stop this craziness and get a job;you have a wife and daughter.’”But Moresco kept working at his chosen craft.
Then in 1983 his younger brother Thomas was murdered in one of moblinked killings (黑帮火并).Moresco moved back to his old neighborhood and started writing as a way to explore the pain of Hell’s Kitchen.HalfDeserted Streets,based on his brother’s killing,opened at a small OffBroadway theater in 1988.A Hollywood producer saw it and asked him to work on a screenplay.
His reputation grew,and he got enough assignments to move back to Hollywood.By 2003,he was again out of work and out of cash when he got a call from Paul Haggis,a director who had befriended him.Haggis wanted to help writing a film about the country after September 11.The two worked on the script,but every studio in town turned it down.They kept selling it.Studio administrators,however,thought no one wanted to see an honest vision of race and fear and lives in conflict in modern America.
