Federal agents on Wednesday arrested a Southern California man who allegedly claimed to have a cure for the coronavirus and was selling the fake antidote using Earvin “Magic” Johnson’s name as a ruse to lure investors.

Middlebrook, who held small-time uncredited roles in “Iron Man 3,” “Thor” and “Moneyball,” delivered pills to a federal agent posing as a potential investor after he allegedly claimed to have personally developed a “patent-pending cure” for COVID-19, the global pandemic that has since ravaged the world, the agency said in a statement released Wednesday.

Nobody ever claimed actors have brains. That’s why they’re actors. They do a job children can do.

Yes, this guy has maybe made mid four-figures in his “acting” career.
That $1200 stimulus check (if they even qualify) probably wont help a lot of actors. Or part time actors living large in L.A. Not surprised. I wonder what the other actors/actresses will do for money??
Not much of a career, most of his 'roles' were uncredited and hadn't had an entry on his IMDB since 2013 except for one in pre-production that you get bet gets scrubbed ASAP.
