(MENAFNEditorial) Steve Comisar’s Wikipedia page lists him as a con man. It’s not surprising since he has spent the last 15 years in prison on a fraud conviction. The FBI has ranked him in the top ten con men of all time second only to Frank Abagnale subject of the Oscar winning movie Catch Me if You Can directed by Steven Spielberg.
With one year to go before release Comisar wants to make a career change from con man to actor. The only way to accomplish this is with the help of Hollywood’s biggest stars. Comisar has personally asked Sean Penn and others to lend a helping hand by giving him acting roles in their upcoming movies.

He also wrote the best selling book America’s Guide to Fraud Prevention which is considered the gold standard of the fraud industry. After securing a major talent agent Comisar landed a co-starring role in the movie Tough Luck with Norman Reedus the star of the hit television series The Walking Dead.
Cementing himself as America’s foremost authority on fraud was not enough and soon Comisar got bored committed more fraud and found himself back in prison. This time he hopes to make the very difficult transformation from famous con man to working Hollywood actor. Comisar says “If the people I asked are willing to help me I know I’m going to succeed. If not it’s back to the talk show circuit.”
