Alan Smith, A.K.A. Alan Braham Smith, a.k.a. Braham Smith, a.k.a. "the Big Dog," lives in a big, expensive house on a hill in Calabasas, Calif., in the San Fernando Valley. The house is built in a land of earthquakes, mud slides, fires and floods, which is why Smith sleeps in shorts with four pockets. He stuffs those pockets with his wallet, credit cards, cash and car keys in case of a catastrophe. Smith doesn't fear catastrophes; he just always likes to be meticulously prepared.
At 9 A.M. Smith's face brightens. He pads past photographs of himself with celebrities like Tom Arnold and Roseanne up to his second-floor office. "I can't wait to get out of bed in the morning," he says. "Make the calls, work 10 stories at a time. I love the adrenaline rush. You're like a soldier in a war."
