They bump into each other one night while leaving the set, and Trey thinks Jesse is much too good-looking to only be a PA.

A Home for Jesse

Trey is flipping through a magazine in the lobby when someone calls his name.


Trey looks up to meet a pair of friendly eyes. He stands up, reaching out to shake hands.


“That’s me.” He smiles. The person looks somewhat familiar but Trey can’t put a name to him.


The man introduces himself. “Durant. Ted Durant. Are you going to read for Florian?”


“Uh, I don’t, I mean…” Trey fumbles a bit. “It’s for The Hunter and the Protector, isn’t it? You…are you the producer?”


“Me? Oh, no,” Durant laughs. “I wrote it. I’m thrilled they gave me a chance to make it into a series. Well, at least they’re going to spring for a pilot. By the way, we’d be glad to have you on board. You’re awesome. My wife adores you.”
