About Hollywood Blvd Characters
Famous costumed characters who try to be photographed with tourists and sometimes badger them relentlessly for tips.
This famous Los Angeles tourist destination has long been a place where a few out-of-work actors, dressed up as Elvis or Michael Jackson, posed for pictures in hopes of being tipped.
They are all free-lancers, unaffiliated with the companies that own or created the characters.
Today, police estimate anywhere from 70 to 80 characters work the one-block stretch that includes not only the Chinese Theater, but also the Kodak Theater (home of the Academy Awards) and a new retail and entertainment center called Hollywood and Highland.
LAPD Officer Michael Shea has spent nearly 25 years patrolling Hollywood and he says this is the craziest collection of characters he's ever seen.
