Success Is Never a Straight Line

Although Mr. Stanulis did not officially notify the department of his other job, it was widely known in police circles that he spent his nights as Steve Savage. One night, he looked out from the stage to find his duty captain, a woman, supervising his act with a broad smile as Mr. Stanulis danced for tips tucked into his G-string. When he was back on the beat, fellow officers would laugh as he collated wads of dollar bills every morning to deposit at the bank.

— Steve Stanulis was a cop and stripper at the same time, and then he was Leonardo DiCaprio’s bodyguard. Now he’s opening an off-Broadway play. Dreams come true, there is more than one path, follow your heart, etc.
