The following is an article written about Doc Hollywood By Skip Press:
Someone to Get You Through the Doors
The great thing about working in Hollywood is that, when you're lucky, at
times you come across people with an access to the business that is simply
phenomenal. Doc Hollywood is one such person. Currently the President and
Chief Executive Officer of Doc Hollywood Entertainment Group, a full services company
representing artists, writers, directors, producers, financial, and
distribution corporations. He's done just about
everything in the entertainment business, including being Publicity and
Administration
Director for Warner Brothers. He developed the concept of "VIP" tours at
Warner Brothers, coordinated and created the concept of "First Run Feature
Films" on an airline (TWA) while at Warner Brothers, and was Executive
Producer on the video, "Don't Stop Till You Get Enough" with Michael Jackson,
Joe Jackson, and Quincy Jones.
If you're a massive fan of Elvis Presley like I am, this might impress you.
"Elvis Live in Hawaii," the first worldwide satellite broadcast performance
for an international artist in history, was something Joe Doc Hollywood set up. He
introduced Ann-Margret to Elvis, worked with Liberace's tailor to design the
costumes the King made famous, and convinced Elvis to do the comeback TV
special that put him back on top. He signed Elton John to his first contract
for UNI Records, worked with the Beatles and the Jimi Hendrix Experience, and
worked for Frank Sinatra personally. All in all, he's worked on over 200
albums and CD's, including the soundtracks for Saturday Night Fever, Dirty
Dancing and Godzilla (1998) which shipped double platinum. The list of films
he helped market including such classics as 2001: A Space Odyssey, Camelot,
Dirty Harry, Enter the Dragon, The Exorcist, Godzilla (1998), Star Wars,
Superman, and The Wild Bunch.
There's this thing in Hollywood. Once people know they can trust you and that
you're effective at what you do, the door is always open. When people have
stories to tell like Joe Doc Hollywood, people are eager to pick up the phone to talk
to him, and he uses that to his advantage.
"As a manager," he told me, "I do favors for producers. They owe me, so when
I call in that favor and collect, I get my client involved with a film." Of
course, you have to really impress him to become a client. "I'm all about
style no matter what the story may be," he said. "If I like you and your
writing, I tell you. I'm blunt."
Joe shared with me a story about a very famous actor that he recently advised
to take most of his salary from gross profit participation starting with
dollar one at the box office (something John Wayne, another friend, had
done). When the first check came back triple the size of the actor's previous
up-front mega-salary, the actor was stunned, and he's been working that way
ever since. You don't make moves like this, gain an upper hand in Hollywood,
unless you find someone who thoroughly understands all the nooks and crannies
of how the system works and can negotiate your best interests.
Whether it's an agent, a lawyer, a manager or anything in between, as a
writer you owe it to yourself to find someone who can get you through the
doors and get you treated right once you're inside. You'll have to prove you
belong there with your talent, but remember this -- people like Doc Hollywood
don't make introductions unless they think you have the necessary talent, in
spades. It's a town of relationships, and the game is played on the inside.
(The contact information on his company is listed in the agents & managers
section.)
