There are a ton of real people who have had movies based on their lives and experiences, and every so often one of them winds up in a movie… about that life and/or experience. It’s the circle of life, man! In this video we take a quick look at 25 examples, with an extra or two thrown in for good measure. These include the one and only Hunter S. Thompson in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, the conspiracy king Jim Garrison in JFK, and the detective duo Eddie Egan and Sonny Grosso in The French Connection… and yes, we know, we forgot to mention all the actors from Taxi who play themselves in Man on the Moon, but let’s just pretend it’s our cringey attempt at a Kaufman-esque anti-joke and move on, eh?
