Greg Kinnear sold cable

Greg Kinnear used to be a door-to-door cable salesman.

The 48-year-old movie star finds acting much easier than having a door repeatedly slammed in his face.

“My job before acting was going door-to-door selling cable television subscriptions,” explained Greg.

“I had terrible territories, and they would give me $25 if I got somebody to let them come and just put the little cord in their house. With that, we would give them 100 channels of television.

“I would stand at the door in Tucson, sweating and going, ‘You don’t understand. They’ll put this thing in and you’ll get the television free for six months.

“If you don’t like it, then we’ll come and remove it, and you’ll get all of your money back.’ And then, that would be about when the door would come slamming in my face. It’s so easy in acting. Everything falls into place.”
