"Is William August a phony?"
Posted by PagongRatEater on 11-10-04 at 11:49 PM
Well, yeah I know he's a fake boss on a fake show about a fake job...but is he also a fake actor? After seeing a commercial today that looked like it might have been him (it wasn't), I did a quick search of both Google and IMDB and the guy is a ghost. Most even aspiring actors have a list of psuedo-credits SOMEWHERE, right?

Maybe nothing, maybe he's a nobody...or maybe it's something fishy. Just a thought is all.

So - are you thinking it's a stage name for an actor playing a boss on a show? That would be my thought - It even sounds fake.

How long to 1000?
just say NO to swoops

But why? It's not the name he uses for the boss (even though it sounds like it could be). I can't recall but I think Steve gave us his name last year.

I agree it sounds fake and evidence indicates it just might be - but what would be the point? (of course, my problem may be assuming that there are any "points" at all in this show)

That is interesting. Presumably they would go to great lengths to use someone that the contestants would not recognize. I am not seeing why this would be fishy.

Well - no one would have known who Steve was before the original but he has a long resume at IMDB. My point is that every tiny bit actor has SOME credits. But you are right, it could be totally meaningless.
