The premiere of the Warner Bros show V on ABC has brought back some memories for WME agent Adam Isaacs. As he told me years ago, "I auditioned to be a guest lizard named Howie -- a sort of Jewish guest lizard -- on the original V. And it was during my third callback that I decided 'I don't think I can do this,' and I didn't want to be an actor anymore. And that sent me from LA back to NY and into the William Morris training program. Robert Englund [aka Freddy Krueger] got the part, and when I saw his performance, I thought, 'I so could have done that better.'"

Fuck you, Nikki.
He turned down being a lizard to become an agent?
Adam always has been a great agent for his clients. A good guy.
V was not shown in the Nashville market. Instead we were stuck with the Jeff Fisher show.
Lizards and Agents … hmmmm … What’s the difference again?
too wong foo
Nobody could be as good as Robert Englund.
LOL… Pretty funny since we are all slimey lizards…!!
Adam Isaacs is one of the good ones, and was always good to me.
I’m glad he decided not to be an actor, even though I bet he would have been fucking good.
Coulda, woulda, shoulda
The character’s name was Willie, not Howie.
Ugh…I’m a geek.
Excuse me, you don’t insult the great Robert Englund like that. He was the best part of the old show. The slow alien.
