This guy takes posing to a whole new level
This dude just upped the bar for other posers:
Quote:
A would-be actor took a shockingly extreme step to improve his career by cutting off his own arm so that he could more easily pose as a war veteran, only to have a handful of small, modest parts to show for his extreme and bloody trouble.
According to KOB4, Todd Latourette, who claims he is bipolar, cut off and cauterized his right arm roughly 17 years ago while he was off his medications.
“I severed my hand with a Skil saw,” he told the outlet. “The state of my mind was a psychotic episode.”
Surprisingly, the move worked and Latourette found work off the severed limb and a story about being a war veteran. Most recently, he appeared in Season 4, Episode 5 of AMC’s “Better Call Saul.”
Latourette is back on his medication and says that living with the lie has been difficult, which is why he chose to come forward and admit to it now, despite the fact that it will likely hinder his acting career going forward.
“I was dishonorable. I’m killing my career by doing this, if anyone thinks this was for personal edification, that’s not the case,” says Latourette. “I’m ousting myself from the New Mexico Film Industry. And gladly so, just to say what I’ve said.”
Representatives for AMC did not immediately respond to Fox News’ request for comment on the matter.
Latourette, however, notes that he is not looking to be redeemed for what he’s done, but instead hopes that his story will help those who may be struggling with mental illness understand the importance of taking their medication.
“The power is in your hands to take your medication in the morning, or at night. So that, this, this discourse of my life doesn’t need to necessarily be yours. Because it happens quick … it happens quick.”

Too late! It's obvious he already surrendered his right to bear arms.

I feel bad for the guy. I realize he is a fraud but he is also an extreme example of what unchecked mental illness can lead to.

Maybe he belongs to the of Church of Body Modification and will be able to enlist in the military because he claims religious discrimination?
