Verizon hangs up on Test Man
Actors dream of fame and fortune but most toil in obscurity, unable even to make a living. So you have to imagine Paul Marcarelli was pretty thrilled when he landed a role that earned him steady, sizeable paycheck and a nod as Entertainment Weekly's most intriguing person of 2002.
The thrill had almost certainly worn off by last winter when, as his grandmother's coffin was being lowered into the ground, the hush was broken by a family friend whispering "Can you hear me now?" To say nothing of the fact that Marcarelli was harrassed by teens screaming "faggot" outside his home - for years - but declined to file a police report because he worried Verizon might be upset by the publicity and his coming out.
Yeah, you have to imagine Marcarelli was pretty thrilled when he got the job. And kinda relieved now that it's finally over.
