A would-be actor took a shockingly extreme step to improve his career by cutting off his own arm so that he could more easily pose as a war veteran, only to have a handful of small, modest parts to show for his extreme and bloody trouble. According to KOB4, Todd Latourette, who claims he is bipolar, cut off and cauterized his right arm roughly 17 years ago while he was off his medications. “The state of my mind was a psychotic episode.”Surprisingly, the move worked and Latourette found work off the severed limb and a story about being a war veteran. I'm killing my career by doing this, if anyone thinks this was for personal edification, that's not the case," says Latourette. Because, it happens quick... it happens quick."
