The main character is Leo
What Happened:
In 1988 he was only a boy with no money.He was in school,but he wasn't a good student.
He wanted to become a representative. Children go to Hollywood to make movies. Leo didn't go to Hollywood because he lived there already.
Leo's mother and father, Irmelin Idenbirken and George DiCaprio, lived in New York. Then they moved to California. In 1974 they had a son - Leonardo. But they had problems, and George moved away from the family home. Leo was only one year old, and he stayed with his mother. But his father visited him every day and the family was happy. There were a lot of problems and there were drugs on the street. Leo and his mother moved to a new home. His first time on TV was at five years old. He was in the children's show, Romper Room. But he always wanted to play, and the show's producers were angry with him. Leo wasn't on television again for nine years. But television wasn't the only interesting thing for young boys. In Hollywood the director watches, and he gives the part to the right actor. Leo went to a lot of auditions. Often he did't get the jobs and then he was unhappy. But at fourteen he got a part in a television commercial for Matchbox cars. After that he was in a lot of commercials and he had small parts in some famous television shows-Lassie, Roseanne and The Outsiders.
Leo wanted to get big parts in television shows but it was difficult.One woman in Hollywood didn't like his name.He tried a new name Lenny Williams, but he didn't like it. He quickly went back to Leonardo DiCaprio. Then he got an important part in the television show Santa Barbara.The show was on TV five times every week, and Leo did alot of work. There was a new script for every show.
The theme is the difficulty of being a representative.
The message is 'If you have a chance, don't let it be nullified.'
