A regular customer often chatted with him. Sean G enjoyed\nthe talks but was curious why this young man always drew a crowd. He soon realized\nhe&rsquo;d\nbeen talking to Johnny Depp, who got him a job in the cashier&rsquo;s booth at\nthe Viper Room, which Depp owned at the time. The idea of Sean G greeting habitues\nof the Viper Room has a certain Candide-like charm. He is hardly the image of\nperdition. He runs upwards of ten miles a day, has never been late for a job\nor called in sick. Even the way he came to work at Barney Greengrass is based\non the desire for self-improvement that night workers occasionally flirt with. &ldquo;I\nshould do something with my days,&rdquo; Sean G remembers thinking. &ldquo;I\nshould learn something.&rdquo; A Viper Room barman brought him to the deli and\nshowed him the ropes. &ldquo;I never ate this food,&rdquo; Sean G says. &ldquo;I\ndidn&rsquo;t know what a bagel was, or nova, or cream cheese.&rdquo; He got his\nbrother a job there, too.
