Roger Griffin

Roger Griffin is a minor character in the novel "狩猎好莱坞."

Volume 1 (1986)
He hired Simon Westeros as a store clerk at the 7/11 outlet which he managed. He was very satisfied with Simon's dedication to the job but still only gave him the minimum wage of $3.50/hour for a total of $140/week.

Three days after joining, Simon asked for an advance on his pay, however, since employees were only paid at the end of the week, he was unable to give him the complete. He stated that he could only pay Simon $60 for the three days he had worked which Simon readily agreed. Roger could tell that someone truly was in need of money, and seeing how sincere and dedicated he had been at the job, his heart softened and he gave him $100 instead of the $60.

One day, while working, Simon asked if he could use the store for filming one of the scenes in his debut film. He didn't have any problem with it so he agreed since it would also serve as publicity.

A few weeks later, he saw an article in the Los Angeles Times about Simon and his script The Butterfly Effect. After asking Simon about it, he confirmed that he was indeed the man mentioned in the article. Roger was left surprised since the article stated that a young man like Simon had earned $200,000 for selling the script. After reading the article, Simon told Roger that he might not be able to shoot the scenes at his store since the character in the film needed to rob $100,000 from a store but the daily cash flow at Roger's store never exceeded $10,000. Roger informed him that only Walmart would have a daily cash flow of $100,000 but they would never agree to film a robbery scene.
