Before he moved to Los Angeles, met Roseann and got work as a writer, Tom Arnold worked in a meat packing plant in Ottumwa, Iowa, where he’s from. My first wife’s grandfather farmed near Ottumwa and I’m familiar with the area. As you might imagine, the pay scale at the meat packing plant isn’t what you make in Hollywood.
Maybe the pay is not good, but I think the job in Ottumwa suits him much better.
He has never written anything, of which I am aware, that is remotely humorous.
Loser in Hollywood. Loser in Ottumwa.
Thanks for the info, Vet.
