1. The Enigma That Is Tommy Wiseau
As interesting and weird as the movie is, the story of the man behind it may just be even more intriguing considering how truly little we really know about the man. Rumor has it that Mr. Wiseau financed this film by importing and selling leather jackets from Korea, while on the first day of shoot, Johnny and Lisa shot their memorable love scene. The director, writer, main lead, and producer of The Room, Tommy Wiseau has garnered status as this mysterious man of fame with his unusual accent in the film and the complexity of trying to understand what The Room is really all about. Itʼs difficult at times to find the words to describe this man, this legend, the myth of the one and only Tommy Wiseau, a man ahead of his time.
