If you read my book, afterwards, I promise you won't say, Damn, that sucked. That's the Brian Laesch

About Me

I grew up in Bloomington, Illinois where I learned how to be a real person. I went to Arizona State University where I learned how to party with girls with fake boobs and dudes who wish they were part of the Gotti family. I hang out in West Palm Beach, Florida when I like to pretend I'm rich. And now I live in Hollywood, California, where I say WTF all day long. So you could say I'm your average dude. I put my pants on two legs at a time. I shave with the rusty blade of an old lawnmower from 1918. I style my hair with pine tar, and brush my teeth with sandpaper. You know, just like everybody else. But, on top of that, when I wake up in the morning I write books.
About my book:

Brian Laesch says:
"In Hollywood terms, my book is a cross between Dumb & Dumber and the exact opposite of Entourage."
Brian Laesch, disguising himself as someone else talking about his book, says:
"The Verge of Psychosis is a look into the uncovered diary of delusional aspiring actor Trott Felipe, who chronicles his first year in Hollywood, pursuing his dream. Unfortunately, he’s a $%#*&^@ idiot.
Trott's story starts off like that of any other aspiring-actor-moving-from-Iowa-to-Hollywood-type. You know…stapling headshots to trees in Studio Exec’s neighborhoods, attending mobile acting classes on short school buses, getting assaulted for wearing camouflage, and getting kicked out of Lakers games. But what makes Trott stand out in a crowd? Well…nothing really, except for his mind, but not in a good way.
Trott's driven, yet clueless. He's outgoing, yet totally secluded. How do you become secluded in Hollywood you ask? Trott finds a way, just as he does with everything in life. But unfortunately, with all of the compromising, “open-mindedness” and talking to inanimate objects, he doesn’t realize he is slowly slipping into psychosis...and things could turn fatal...for everybody."
