There are so many characters from those days in college that are worth mentioning, but one of my favorites by far was the guy (I believe his name was Shane) in my theater classes who wanted to write, produce and star in his own films and plays. Never mind the fact that the guy wore coke bottle glasses, had the personality of tepid tap water, and the talent of...well, tepid tap water (hey, at least he was consistant). The guy was amazing though. His acting was miserable, he couldn't convince anyone to work with him, and yet -- he had a following. Who knows why, but he had a couple girls always latched onto him, and so in the directing class, he always had a full cast of people to act in his scenes. They were hialrious where they shouldn't have been. If it was possible, they had less talent than he did. You had to applaud the guy for the sheer spectacle of it all.
Gosh, I miss him.
Sounds like the William Hung of yester-year!

Maybe he was a cult leader who missed his true calling?
