A few years ago, I had dinner with an actor and
his manager. I was trying to woo this actor to take the lead role in a pilot I
was producing. He liked the part, liked
the script, but was a little hesitant about signing what was, essentially,a six-year commitment.In success, that is.The truth is that television pilots have
about a ninety-eight percent failure rate, and of the successful pilots that go
on to series, those have about a ninety-five percent failure rate...
