I worked in another area of show business for awhile in the movie industry on the business side after I graduated from the UCLA film school. Finding someone without a gigantic ego is virtually impossible. It's an asshole breeding ground where screwing people over seems to be the norm. I'm sorry but I'm not going to side with the "suits" and I tend to think the "talent" should get every consideration as there would be nothing without them and they're usually on the short end of the stick. In the case of Keith, I don't know the details of his gripes but it could be that he just doesn't take shit from anyone. I walked out of four different associate attorney positions at law firms over the years because I just wasn't going to be screwed. I'm like that.
