Years ago, we met in a bank in Austin Texas where I stopped to ask directions. You were there with a Spanish speaking girlfriend. I was looking for a certain address where an audition was taking place. You hooked your arm in mine me and said, “Come on I’ll show you exactly where the address is. My name is Amber Heard, what is yours?” I answered, “Jim Towers is mine.”
The auditions were taking place about two blocks away from the bank. I remember us talking about the acting profession as we walked. We found the auditions right away. I left my headshot and if I remember rightly, you had a photo taken too. This must have been your first attempt at auditioning.
As I perused the internet last night looking for something about Johnny there you were – speaking perfect Spanish. I’ll never forget the beautiful young lady who spoke Spanish. Your bio said something about you doing work with displaced children and right now I’m looking for a cause to become involved in. Maybe yours is it.
Years later I became a screen writer, and a would-be director with one film that was shown on cable tv.. I also wrote a screenplay that went on to become a blockbuster.
Maybe we can salvage your career with something worthwhile. (I have a few screenplays to exploit or maybe I could even write a screenplay specifically for you.) I am also a contributing writer for two Christian websites and urge you to seek God’s face in your time of trouble.
If I can be of help in any way, please let me know. I shall be praying for you.
Incidentally, I just wrote an open letter to Johnny, out of concern for his well-being. (I appeared as a cab driver in one of his last 21 Jump Street TV shows) Johnny was shy then, so we didn’t talk much. You can find the open letter on www.propheticsignsandwonders.com.
Please write me, we appear to have many things in common. You must have been going through hell lately with the divorce proceedings. I feel so bad for both of you.
I have a book on eBooks titled “Visions, Miracles, Peace and Power” it’s a deeply spiritual book about my life in the movie business after my second divorce.
For whatever reason God has seen fit to re-acquaint us once again.
May the God of peace heal you and keep you forever.
Sincerely,
Jim Towers
