While I promise to never mention the name of the useless waste of space currently sitting in an LA jail, I have always been fascinated by the intoxicating concept of fame. I have a long-standing fantasy of being a famous person who hates my fame. But that is for another day...
One of the more promising young actors these days, in my opinion, is Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who addresses the very issue of reluctant fame and fame-building as a commercial vehicle on his very fine website http://www.hitrecord.org/.
Read about his short film "Pictures of Assholes" and then watch the film:
