What Are Greg "FitzDog" Fitzsimmons' Thoughts on the Writers Strike?
First, let me take a chant straight from the picket-line and just say, EVVAA-LONGORIA, WE WRITE THE STORYIA.
Second, here is Greg's official statement on the writers strike (exclusive):
"Please support the Writers Strike. I don't want to drive past studios every day that look
like they are holding auditions for "Revenge of the Nerds: 30 years later."
---
If there was no such thing as the "Artie-chair," it'd probably be called the "Fitz-chair."
Greg isn't the "Frank Lucas" of comedy, but when he straps on a blue rubber, he does his own rendition of "blue magic."
(Those are all American Gangster references for the kids at home that can't yet attend Rated-R movies).
Anyways, some notable links:
