Some People Are Happy Being Fake

Here's a blog I quickly pieced together for an actor a while back. I put up pictures in his gallery that were meant to be temporary filler until he put real ones in, yet after several months they're still there:

Of course it is fake. It's not even very convincing photoshop work, yet he says that they helped him land gigs so he's leaving them there. Weird.

Of course, I'm just poking fun at Bill Marles, a fine actor, screenwriter, and travel writer with a great sense of humor.

(It was the new cigar guy phenomenon that reminded me of that weensy project:

    Who knows, maybe it drives traffic. I assume only the first 6 photos in the acting gallery, and a few in traveling are fake. Though #18 in the acting is off. Maybe it is just that he is thinner than he appears elsewhere, and the shadows.

      I'm not sure. He's mostly getting bit parts in Christmas movies and rock videos.

      Bill Marles claim to fame is that people sometimes mistake his name for Bill Martell (inside joke).
