ShamWow Guy
Some celebrities aren't made, they're born. Vince Offer (yes that is his actual name) became a viral sensation with his over-the-top commercials. He started his career as a comedian and a writer, but he started acting as a way to pay his rent. Acting quickly became more commercial gigs, and Vince found his footing by doing infomercials. It was better since they were longer than standard commercials.
Wise Guy
Not only did Vince star in all of his commercials, but he was also the writer and director of them. That's right, every single infomercial that this guy was in was a piece of his own work. Collecting about $2 million from doing the ShamWow commercial comes with a lot of labor, apparently.
