He made a 4 hour movie where he played over 100 characters by himself, but he ended up homeless. In 1994, Laz Rojas desperately wanted to break into the entertainment industry as an actor, writer, and director. He had written literally hundreds of scripts, but couldn't get anybody to pay attention to them. So he shot a 4 hour film that was a collection of random scenes from all of the various scripts he had written. The only thing is - he didn't have any friends or collaborators to make it with. So he played every single character - over 100 - in the film, sometimes playing up to 5 characters in a scene interacting with himself. His career never took off despite this Herculean effort, and years later he ended up homeless and destitute in the streets of LA. On this episode of Deep Cuts, we explore the inspiring, exciting, and terribly sad life of Laz Rojas.
