(10) Will The Real JAMES DEAN Please Stand Up?

Ever since the waitress on roller skates told me I looked like James Dean I'd made it a point to learn all I could about him. I saw his movies, "Rebel Without A Cause," and "Giant," and I had become a big James Dean fan. But James Dean had died in a tragic accident, one that shocked my generation.

For years since his death, James Dean has been idolized by actors around the world. I can't imagine trying to fit in such big shoes now, but as a 20 year old in New York, signed to United Artists as Wes Bryan, I felt up to the challenge. Hollywood was looking for someone to take his place - why not me?


"James Dean; actor, photographer, race driver, artist, ultimate rebel and represented by CMG Worldwide is one of the greatest Legends of the 20th Century."
