The writer, director, and star of "the greatest bad movie ever made," The Room, is quite the character. For one thing, he's completely cloaked in mystery. Wiseau, to this day, refuses to disclose his place of birth (he claims he is from New Orleans, despite his Eastern European accent), his real age, or how he made the enormous fortune that allowed him to spend a rumored six million dollar s on the making of his cringeworthy masterpiece.
