For example, my runner-up is Ice-T: A notorious gangster rapper and “Cop Killer” singer currently in his 25th year in the role of CSI detective for the NYPD.
My top spot goes to Snoop Dogg: notorious gangster rapper and marijuana enthusiast who is now besties with Martha Stewart and in demand for cameo voice-overs in children’s programming.

Of course, if schadenfreude is your thing, there’s legendary comedian-cum-rapist monster Bill Cosby, or the recent falls of any number of the now mask-off nazis permeating the media…

So, what is your favorite real-person character arc?

    Danny Trejo has a pretty interesting story starting off with drug addiction and criminal record, and got into acting when he showed up as a sponsor for a fellow cocain recovery addict on a movie set. They saw Trejo and cast him as an extra.
