Interesting Man?

The Man<The Klein

Have you ever seen the Dos Equis pitch man?  They call him "The Most Interesting Man in the World".  He is pictured above and you know what, I get it a lot that I look like him. There are a lot of worse possible comparisons. 

When it comes up I usually respond "I'm just his stunt double".

At the recent Gotham Film Festival one of the winners floated the idea of my starring in a Dos Equis spoof.

Truth be told, I'm not that interesting.

Come on Fred, this is the chance of a lifetime! Let's make fun of him and the archetype of the man in control who lives without fear. See, by spoofing something you actually embrace the thing you make fun of and turn it upside down. Just like the BMW spoof ad that I made, we got to drive the BMW and have fun with it before we blew it up. The ball is in your court.

Odey Raviv-Alex is right on. Question-- will Fred's acting and Alex's Directing bring
Alex another Gotham Film Fest win in 2016?

I actually thought of you the first time I saw the commercial.

Truth be told, it is interesting that I wrote this blog at the recent LI Wonen's breakfast (sitting between Flo and Michael Garibaldi).

OK. Don't hold it against me if I toot my horn a little to start. It will be over quickly and there is method to my madness! I have lived in Europe and Asia. New York, Florida and California . I have traveled the world from Johannesburg to Katmandu. I have 26000 hours of pilot in command on jet transports and met hundreds of very interesting men and woman. I married 3 beautiful woman the latter of which literally has saved my life. I will say without a doubt Fred that you take first prize as THE MOST interesting person I have ever known. My God ! The energy ! From where does it eternally spring ? The loyalty ? I know this to be profound . The accessibility anywhere any time ! Reliability nonpareilled . Honesty and accountability. Trust ! What else can I say ? I know that we can spend hours upon hours engaged in the most stimulating conversation and never be without something sage to divulge to one another. I'm looking forward to that time !

Fred, there are very few people I know that I'd put in your league! I get it that you don't want to do the spoof, but I'm certain it would be a YouTube sensation! I vote for the filming at Rao's!

Well, the message is clear. Have you heard the urban legend that all of us have a twin, a body double walking somewhere who looks just like you? You are lucky Fred, you have found him and he's called the most interesting man in the world. He is a pure creation. You are real. What if you found out that the creator of the ad lives right next door to you?

Just had this BIG Ahah moment. Instead of a spoof, how about I make a documentary film on the founder or founders of Gotham? I would create a crowdfunding project and ask the members of Gotham to pitch in. What do you think?

Here is a laugh for you. I did a TV commercial for Toyota of Stamford as one of the Most "Unusual" Man's sidekick. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6puzzEEAOw
