Laslo Escorts his way to Acting
Who is that man? How does he know.. mumbles a crowd surrounding the latest huge star studded event in Hollywood. Talent escorts have received little spotlight in the past even though they are the talk of most viewers. People want to not only know about the stars, but also their entourage. This is a dream job that many fans would kill for, yet it has been so under reported and so intriguing to virtually everyone.
Christopher Laslo moved to New York to build an acting career, but he never knew that he would embrace a dream job and literally have to battle for his life. After only being in the city for a few weeks, Laslo was offered a dream opportunity as a talent escort for one night. VH1 was short a talent escort for their annual fashion show that was happening that evening. Although he knew nothing about escorting or handling talent, Laslo knew he could quickly learn and his charisma would soon pay off.
Laslo was very successful at the show and requested back continuously for award shows and benefits in New York, Los Angeles and Las Vegas for just about every network. Some of these shows include: GQ Men of the Year Awards, The Daytime Emmys, Essence Awards, MTV Video Music Awards, Net Aid, 20th Century Sports Illustrated Awards, Angel Ball Benefit and many others. Because of his charm and continuous helpfulness, he was assigned to top talent such as Tom Hanks, The BackStreet Boys, N'Sync, Rosie O'Donnell, Susan Sarandan, Susan Lucci, Sharron Stone, Destiny's Child, Donna Summer, Queen Latifah and many others.
As an escort, he walks his talent down the red carpet, accompany them to parties, ushers them to dressing rooms, make-up and hair departments and makes sure that the production company takes care of all their needs. Spending this much time on the set and with talent usually gives him an opportunity to get advice from talent about how to improve my acting skills. He is sort of a cross between a Stage Manager for the entire event and their friend. Some of his favorite talent included Deborah Cox, Rosie O'Donnell, Enrique Iglesias and Queen Latifah.
Two years ago, he was diagnosed with cancer. At the Daytime Emmy, Rosie O'Donnell showed her support and offered him some great advice and inspiration. Now, recovered and the cancer in remission, he continues escorting nationwide while balancing his blossoming acting gigs. His stories of escorting and events that happen during these shows sound like fantasy to most, but behind the scenes of an award show and benefits are usually more exciting than the show itself.
