I have never been harrassed as of yet by law enforcement, and I do not receive tips, and if one is offered for a photo taken with me, I refuse it politely and say no thanks with a big smile. Plus I do have proof that I am doing my Colonel Sanders impersonation work with KFC's blessing. I do feel for the honest street actors on the Blvd who are providing a wonderful Hollywood traditional service to the tourist trade. As far as I know it is not illegal to receive a tip if one is offerd, only wrong to solicite for them and demand. But the rude riff raft bums do need to go elsewhere for sure. The legit workers need to be organized for sure afterall this is Hollywood, and it is still the Film capital of the world and one should expect to see actors on her streets for goodness sake.

I wouldn't mind being required to have a permit. They do it on the Santa Monica pier and 3rd Street Promenade. It's kind of a bitch the way they have it set up so you have to be a certain distance apart and whatnot, I could do without that rule. But permits seem like a LEGAL way to go. Just going to the Blvd and arresting anyone who "looks" like a "criminal" (is dressing up in public a crime now? And really, blocking sidewalks? I see a lot of clueless tourists blocking sidewalks.) doesn't seem at all legal to me. Arresting innocent, well-intentioned people is not cool. But that's America now, isn't it.... I agree.

Just require the characters to have a performer's license like the drummers, dancers & other street performers on 3r St. in Santa Monica. or Since Chris has been working the blvd for so long, who better to manage the block between Orange & Highland than him? He knows everyone & has incredible insight on who is adding or detracting from the wonderful street scene. It would be so simple to fix.
