'Cos I'm a Star (Gonna Make You a Star)!

No, no, you certainly don't want to hire an actor to act this part! That's too challenging. What you need is someone who is brain-damaged to play a brain-damaged person, because, seriously, how can that go wrong?

And what's with the request for a pre-injury video?! Is that to assess how much more screwed up you are now?

"Yeah, Bob, I totally wanted to hire you.  But then I saw Danny.  And, Man, Danny is now dangerously fucked-up! Like, you have some damage, clearly.  But Danny, HOLY SHIT!  As soon as I saw where he was at before and, like, how he is now, I was like, yeah, FUCK yeah..."

Found him. 

And here's what appears to be his master plan:

Holy fuck! I gotta hitch my horse to this wagon!

This is the best plan EVER! I am totally going to make a video where I stand there and say "My name is Monica." Then I'll do like a shit dance move (my specialty) and conclude with: "Want to see more? Send me $10."

Oh, who am I kidding! I can't do this on my own.
I need Kongg! Kooooooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnngggggggggggggg!

When you're an actor, you send out postcards with your photo (headshot) with information to keep casting directors and other contacts updated about what you are doing - the subtext generally being "Hey lookie, I'm being hired! You should hire me too!" I remember a few examples that stood out of what not to do from one of my courses. One was a dude who had sent a postcard with a note on the front that read, "If you don't want to you hire me," and the back had a small salt packet attached and continued with, "you can just EAT me!" Fantastic technique.  But this guy* has topped even that self-promo wiz.  

I just love his approach. I have to hope that the role he was hoping to audition for was in some way related to that character... No, never mind, that doesn't make it much better.
