How to Make It in America - Bryan Greenberg Interview

Was there a point before this show where you would not have gotten into the downstairs area of La Esquina?
Half this city I couldn’t have gotten into before this show. It is pretty amazing how many doors have opened. It is ridiculous, actually. And I am not stupid, I know what is going on.

What do you mean?
Well, it’s not because I am a nice guy that I am getting free drinks and getting into the cool places. And hanging out with these people. I get what’s going on. But I don’t take it so seriously. I look at it as a fun ride. I never got into acting for all this shit that comes with it. It’s cool, all the nice side perks, but it is really about working, about getting the next movie.

Did you have well-connected friends before?
No, when I was at NYU, I could barely get into, like, the fucking Irish pub. I had to get, like, a fake I.D. to do that.
