Brad Pitt to Play Me in a Movie?"},"content":{"rendered":"

Hey, I was as shocked as anybody when I saw the headline, but according to Screen Rant<\/a>, Brad Pitt has signed on to play The Gray Man<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It turns out, contrary to what you may have heard, thought, dreamed, or laughed at, The Gray Man<\/em> is not about yours truly or even my Pawley’s Island-based alter ego, but is the title character of the 2009 bestselling thriller The Gray Man<\/em><\/a> by Mark Greaney<\/a>.

\n**On the contrary, I’m on my own bandwagon which will happily follow along with theirs for a while.
