Jesse,

I felt it was very important for me to write you this letter to thank you. I know that a lot of guys have come through your school and don't give you any credit. They seem to forget where they learned how to run the ropes. From the age of 13, you and Bill Anderson have welcomed me in giving me the chance to follow my dream. I have learned so much from you guys and not only that, you have opened plenty of doors for me.

One door that sticks out is breaking me into acting. You helped me get my first job. I also remember where I got the idea. You probably don't remember, but one day we were walking into a Denny's in Lancaster and you were telling me that I should jump into acting. Well, I did not forget that conversation and here I am today. I just got done working on a Paramount MTV movie called Freedom Writers with Hilary Swank for the last 3 months so thank you for everything you have done.

Sincerely,

Sonny
