My first day as an intern in the books department at 'Cosmopolitan' also happened to be the day the O.J. Simpson verdict was announced.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Certainly the O.J. Simpson case was a turning point in my career.
The events of the day inspired me to become a lawyer.
That day, my first day on the job, was September 11, 2001! I was actually being recognized by Switzerland the very day that the World Trade Center was hit.
When I was a general assignment reporter early in my career, I was the one knocking on their door after a tragedy.
I'm an actor and it happened to go my way that day.
I was a government employee in the morning and a writer in the evening.
The day I became press secretary to the President of the United States, I was in an entirely different world from the one I'd been in the day before.
I loved my job... then the Simpson case happened.
It was the roughest day of my career, my final day of shooting on 'Breaking Bad,' knowing that I will never be able to kind of zip on that skin again.
I began my journalistic career on the day Ronald Reagan was sworn in. That's the day I showed up for work at 'The New Republic' magazine.
