I'm Starting With the Man in the Mirror...

Hi ho, hi ho, it's off to work I go... 

WTF?

Why in the name of Billy Jean would any person purposely cause themselves to look like “the artist that formerly looked like Michael Jackson?” So I read on… oh I see this guy was an aspiring actor / McDonald’s worker in southern California who won a costume contest in 1996. Ok, so naturally one would parlay that into a ten-year world tour impersonating our generation’s official poster child of bad cosmetic surgery and questionable “child-care practices.”

But hey, I guess everyone has to make a buck.

“Moss says he is eager to branch out into film and TV roles that do not call for a Jackson lookalike. "I would love to get away from the Michael Jackson thing," he said, a hint of exasperation in his voice. "I'm an actor. I have so much more to offer."” – Star Tribune article (Variety 3-22-05)

Good luck with all that. And actors wonder why no one takes them seriously, especially the ones that take themselves seriously.
