Is that Vince Offer in the Shamwow commercials?
shareYep...

At least he can clean up spills.
shareWikipedia says he funded the movie and it's promotion entirely from his selling vegetable cutters, so he's always been in the infomercial biz.
I think he sold them at flea markets then, and selling this movie through informercials was his first infomercial experience. I gathered this knowledge through reading everything I can find about Vince Offer. He's my hero.
shareHaha....
after watching this movie, you'll be saying wow every time.
You know the Germans always make good stuff, so it's gotta work.

He is fighting the church of scientology with those proceeds as well. Explains all in the article.
I think was always a comedian and writer even before shamwow. He just did that stuff to make money to pay for his dreams!

Yea, there is some info on his fan site about that - http://vinceoffer.net/
as well as an interview he did with cnbc - http://www.cnbc.com/id/28880253/First_Interview_with_Vince_from_ShamWow
He says that the film industry is his main concern and it seems that he is more passionate about The Underground Comedy Movie. I can't imagine how many offers he has turned down to do infomercials for other people's products.
Was getting beat up by a hooker part of that dream?
