Bobby Baker was the king of the second grade.
Smart, popular. Picked first in gym.
He was the lead in every school play.
That led to commercials, which led to acting.
His family moved to Los Angeles, and producers and directors absolutely loved him.
No, he didn’t get many parts. I mean love in that sick, casting couch kind of way.
His parents collected the hush money, spent it on themselves.
Bobby came back to town a few years ago.
He teaches acting at the grade school, but when kids ask him what it’s like, he says “Study Math harder.”
