1) his name is Vince Offer and he's 43.
2) In 99 he released a film titled The Underground Comedy Movie which, according to the New York Post, "may be the least amusing comedy ever made... is just a series of sketches built around subjects like masturbation, defecation, alienation, urination, necrophilia, voyeurism, casual brutality, and mockery of the unfortunate".
3) he sued the makers of There's Something About Mary claiming they had stolen 14 scenes from his film. The Farrelly brothers responded, "We've never heard of him, we've never heard of his movie". The case was dismissed and Twentieth Century Fox was awarded 66M in attorney's fees.
4) He also sued Anna Nicole Smith for breach of contract, alleging that Smith had agreed to appear in Underground Comedy Movie but backed out, claiming it would hurt her career.
5) In 04, an ex-Scientologist, he sued the Church of Scientology, alleging the church had declared him a criminal and told its members to commit libel against him. Offer claimed that the church's actions caused him to lose a successful business, as many of his employees were Scientologists who quit upon learning of what the church did.
