Television writer Lucas Brown Eyes moved to California from rural South Dakota when he was 13. He came from a 10-person family, but a tragedy tore his family apart. By the time it was just him and his mom living in a friend’s basement, she asked him where he wanted to go if they could start over.
He said Hollywood. They moved to Santa Ana close enough. And on the day they arrived, before they had time to find a hotel, his mom had a job interview and he had an audition for the Orange County School of the Arts.
