Judd loved and cared about fame
It can't be only me who thinks this - but Judd always came across as someone who was exploiting a situation.
He knows the cameras are rolling and there's an obvious house villian........ and Judd turned his fantasies about being a hero into a real life play.
His over-emotional reactions to things seemed so contrived - like a teenage boy who thinks he'll impress the girls by crying even hard at sad scenes in a movie.
