Bryan Greenberg, star of HBO's How to Make It in America, will be making it big soon if the "east coast Entourage" takes off like we expect it to (it premieres this Sunday at 10 p.m. e.t.). Greenberg, 31, plays Ben Epstein, an NYC hustler trying to make it in the cutthroat fashion industry with help from his boys (played by Victor Rasuk and Scott "Kid Cudi" Mescudi). You might recognize B-Gizzle, who grew up in St. Louis, from HBO's Unscripted, films like The Perfect Score and Nobel Son, or his album Waiting for Now (or, if you're a teenage girl, One Tree Hill), but How To... has him poised to blow the fuck up. Before he becomes too big for this earth, Complex caught up with the actor/singer-songwriter to get his "Mantras," a.k.a. the rules he lives by. Keep reading for his stance on filming sex scenes, having sex with married fans, and more things that don't necessarily relate to sex...
FOLLOW SIGNS.
Bryan says: When I graduated [from NYU], I spent a year in New York bar-tending, catering, waiting tables, hustling, doing whatever I could and getting little [acting] jobs. There wasn't enough work to go around. I was living with my college girlfriend in this small-ass two-bedroom in the East Village and one night brown water started dripping from our ceiling—our upstairs neighbor's toilet was overflowing and shit was falling from the ceiling. I believe in signs. I decided then to try L.A. I visited for the summer and got two jobs the first week.
