First of all i like to give you the Utmost respect, your Amazing at what you do! Your are a legendary icon!!! (((i mean that!!!)))
You have an eye and a gift for what people need to and want to see!!!👏🤙👏
“You are asking yourself right now who is this maniac writing me????”Let me tell you who i am! i am Rob McNeal Jr, from Amish America a little town called HoneyBrook, Pennsylvania. I’m 44 years old. i don’t have a lot of money! My parents were poor, i am poor! They did the best they could, i learned their hard work habits! Anyway enough of that.
In 2018 my dad got me into the movie’s with “Creed2” Sylvester Stallone’s film. They were advertising it on the radio and he signed me up. Well four or 5 months had passed, i got a email from Heeryloftus asking if i was available. That’s how all this started!!! I don’t want anything just handed to me but since 2018 well 2019 since “21Bridges” because i found out then you need 3 SagAftra vouchers to join the union. This is where my passion began. I told myself ima do this for dad! “He started me why not fight and finish it for the Marine!” Later 2019 i did a film “The Trial of Chicago 7” Aaron Sorkin’s Filmfile:///var/mobile/Library/SMS/Attachments/53/03/3F52F0BC-46FA-4D01-8D54-9DDA956B1A70/IMG_6383.PNG
Yes that my mug! GrantWilfley. They will not give me a union voucher? For some reason? They did not give me one for “the deuce”
season two or three 2018 & 2019. I kept trying to get another voucher. I still need two more? I finished “the deuce”, did two independent films, “Slaughter Beach” and “Xknight”, both were very small lines. Xknight was a one liner and Slaughter Beach
Then i did, “And Just Like That” and “raising Kanan” one i was trying to land a line in???? Tv show’s but something! Here in 2024 i got a second waiver in “TASK” out of Philadelphia! Recently i was in Bob Dylan’s movie in north Jersey, mountain side, GrantWilfley, no union vouchers! i need a little help. Every actor seems to need a little help! Well i need a lot! Everyone is now making fun of me and saying i can’t get into Hollywood. People are mean and rude anymore!? I am set out to prove everyone wrong and my dad right!!!
Idk Lorne, i know it’s a lot but I can do it! Oh and to top this all off I have type 1 diabetes and brain 🧠 damage. It’s not stopping me!
The list of writers who have hosted SNL is pretty short, but I've decided to make you a finalist for hosting duties, along with Salman Rushdie. Before I make my decision, I just have one question: have you written a Rule of Three column that resulted in a fatwa on your head and inspired a lunatic to stab you dozens of times?
So nice to hear from you. Salman, a fellow Substacker, has certainly produced some fine work. And, he has many hidden talents - as I recall, he was part of the winning "3-legged race" team at last summer's Substack Annual Summer Jamboree. Yes, the fatwa is a compelling element on his resume, but, honestly, who hasn't been stabbed in Chautauqua? John Kasich was mean to me once (see a recounting of that incident in the story linked below) - does that count?
Thanks for your consideration,

Wow, you have a great memory! Although I’m in the Central time zone, I’d stay up late to watch. “More cowbell” is my all-time favorite SNL sketch, and Three is my favorite rule. Maybe combine them? Three cowbells?
Three cowbells has a nice ring to it. And, yes, I’m a little embarrassed to admit that I have a cowbell in my office. So, when an industry association I was leading a few years ago adopted “More Cowbell” as the theme for its convention, the organizer volunteered to secure a cowbell for me to use at the event, to which I responded, “Don’t bother - I’ll bring my own.” It’s always nice to have the “home cowbell” advantage.
