"Rent is more than a Broadway show" (The New York Post)
After living in LA for the last 10 years, David Beecroft was completely unprepared for the shock of returning to Manhattan. The actor playing Eliot Freeman on All My Children can't believe how high rents have gotten. "We have a big house in California," he says.  "It's over 2,500 square feet. It's got mountain views, it's near my gym and my son's daycare. Coming from a house with all that space to where they charge $4,000-$5,000 for 1,000 square feet - well, it's mind boggling." Even with the sky-high rents - and the wait until his artist wife, Greer, and year-and-a-half old son, Damien, arrive after the sale on their home is completed - Beecroft is still happy. "Being an actor makes for such a bizarre existence," he says. "You can earn a bunch of money in a month, and then, if you don't go right into another project, it begins to dwindle. I'm a father now, and it's great to have steady work. So does anyone know of a nice apartment with two bedrooms for less than $5,000?" [Relayed on the DQMW List by Pat P.]
