Well, my partner is an aspiring actor and I'm involved with some of the behind the scenes aspects of independent films. About 2 years ago, a director that myelf and my partner has worked with in the past began casting for a leading role in a series of short films about serial killers. LM submitted a headshot and application for the role and became quite pushy with the director about getting an audition. The director found him to be a bit "off" and didn't give him the chance to audition. My partner ended up landing the role LM wanted. I know TONS of people have connections to LM, but it really freaked me out. The thought that he probably watched that series (which was pretty dark) and watched my partner is unsettling. And when LM was on the run, I was terrified he'd come and get revenge on my partner for stealing his role, lol. Crazy, I know - but in the early stages of this case, my mind was all over the place.
This is a great story in illuminating LM's personality. It does make me wonder how much rejection he went through behind the scenes that we have not heard about. I think a lot of his rejection was a self-fulfilling prophecy, in that he weirded people out a bit, that beget rejection, and the rejection probably made him more angry at the world at large. Vicious cycle that played into itself, and partially probably what got this story where it is today.
