The Poojer Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 he also was so ashamed of graduating from Oneonta St. he lied about that as well....he chose SUNY Purchase over Oneonta
Pete Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 Why would he say that? I don't understand people sometimes
Cugalabanza Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 He looks like a bad, hacky comedian http://exclaim.ca/images/theleague.jpg
bbb Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 Did this lie help him at all in his career - or was it totally useless and now will be his downfall. I can't imagine that, if he's good, he wouldn't be hired if he had told the truth. He was in midtown but that day made him decide to follow his dreams.

I'm a fan of The League, but didn't even know about his WTC story. I have no experience in the entertainment industry, but I imagine when it comes to hiring actors for a major role on a network like FX, the final decision will come down to an x-factor. His agent was probably like "Anyone could say that 9/11 changed their mindset. For the interview's sake, tell them that you were actually in the building. No one will know..."
KD in CA Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 Oh well....at least he wasn't the senior managing news editor for one of the country's largest TV networks.
DC Tom Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 Of course. Everyone's lying about 9/11. #whatreallyhappened
Chef Jim Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 I would care if I had any idea who he was. No, on second thought, even if I knew who he was I still wouldn't care.

The video shows a ball of fire, but NO plane.
