Because his fame came early, he's now more interested in doing fun stuff--reading at the Christmas show at his beloved Disney World, serving on the board of Hollywood's Magic Castle (a club for magicians), producing an interactive-mystery-theater piece called Accomplice: Hollywood--than in managing his career toward lead...
...fall of Kwame Kilpatrick, whose promising political career was dashed in a sex-text-messaging scandal that led to a conviction on charges of perjury and obstruction of justice.
