概要

 THE BLURB: "Mechanic" may be his last name, but all Nick Mechanic knows about cars is that he likes driving really nice ones. Nick was an audacious, young turk Hollywood agent who made all kinds of movie and TV deals for actors, writers, directors and producers. He also made drug deals - and turned up on the radar of three different police departments. Nick fell from grace and ended up in prison and then rehab. Eventually Nick got disgusted enough with himself to change things - and to not merely attempt to recover but to succeed at it. That's what THE MECHANIC is about - outrageous, true behind-the-scenes tales of Hollywood excess and deal-making, wretched excess, drug-dealing and addiction, and a rousing, uplifting story of personal rebirth.

    THE BLURB: Dealing with the legal system is always a nightmare. Dealing with it while facing serious drug charges? A nightmare on steroids. Good thing Nick found Vicken sss - truly his legal eagle. In this episode, Nick talks about how he found Vicken and then how Vicken skillfully helped Nick navigate this nightmare, reducing what could have been some serious time in some serious places to a couple of months (plus lengthy drug treatment and time in halfway houses). In this episode, we'll explore the darker side of Nick's story.

    THE BLURB: We all know that good help can be hard to find. But my long-time friend Jonathan Rosenbloom wasn't just "good help", he was great help and became my assistant at The Agency. We'll talk about the good ol' days of deal-making, high-living (literally and figuratively) and all sorts of Hollywood craziness. Also we'll talk about some of the aftermath of all that craziness and the process of recovering from it.
