Allan Havey, a stand-up comedian turned actor on Madmen, had some interesting things to say about his earlier efforts in our hobby. Pardon me for not being a capable enough editor to just post a clip to share, but on the other hand I enjoy the podcast daily (off iTunes) and recommend the show. The discussion specific to the hobby starts about 43:30 into the show.

20 plus years into this, I do look for more than just the thrill of the hunt and the knock on the door, but certainly that has been and is a big deal.
