'''Adriel Jeremiah "A. J." Green''' (born July 31, 1988) is an [[American football]] [[wide receiver]] for the [[Cincinnati Bengals]] of the [[National Football League]] (NFL). He was drafted by the Bengals fourth overall in the [[2011 NFL Draft]]. He played [[college football]] for the [[Georgia Bulldogs football|University of Georgia]].

Green has caught more passes (260) than any other player in NFL history during their first three seasons.

== Early years ==
Green was on his elementary school's [[juggling]] team telling ''The Atlanta Journal-Constitution'' that he learned to juggle as early as second grade. Green said he could juggle as many as four items at once, and that the ability helped the development of his hand-eye coordination.

'''''Left Behind''''' is an upcoming American apocalyptic [[thriller (genre)|thriller]] film directed by [[Vic Armstrong]] and written by [[Paul LaLonde]] and John Patus.<ref name="Vic" /> It is based on the series of novels [[Left Behind|of same name]], written by [[Tim LaHaye]] and [[Jerry B. Jenkins]], and is a reboot of ''[[Left Behind: The Movie]]'', which is based on the idea of a [[pre-tribulation]] [[Rapture]]. The film is set for an October 3, 2014 release.

== Plot ==
{{Advert|section|date=May 2014}}
Without warning, millions of people around the globe simply vanish.

All that remains are their clothes and belongings … and an overwhelming sense of terror. The vanishings cause unmanned vehicles to crash and burn. Emergency forces everywhere are devastated. Gridlock, riots and looting overrun the cities. And there is no one to help or provide answers. In an instant, the earth has been plunged into darkness.

For Ray Steele, the pilot of a jumbo jet, it means trying to calm his hysterical passengers who saw loved ones vanish before their eyes. It also means trying to land his damaged plane when every airport is jammed with burning wrecks, all while wishing that he could talk to his family one last time.

For Buck Williams, the world-renowned journalist trapped at 30,000 feet, it means a struggle to understand the incomprehensible, the most devastating event in history.
And for CHLOE STEELE, Ray’s daughter back on the ground, it means trying to find her mother and brother. Lost in a post-apocalyptic landscape, she is forced to head home through a world where despair and rage rule the day. This is the story of the Rapture, the story of those left behind.<ref>{{cite web|title=The Story|url=http://www.leftbehindmovie.com/about/|website=http://www.leftbehindmovie.com/|publisher=Stoney Lake Entertainment|accessdate=14 June 2014}}</ref>

'''''Left Behind''''' is an upcoming American apocalyptic [[thriller (genre)|thriller]] film directed by [[Vic Armstrong]] and written by [[Paul LaLonde]] and John Patus.<ref name="Vic" /> It is based on the series of novels [[Left Behind|of same name]], written by [[Tim LaHaye]] and [[Jerry B.

== Plot ==
{{Advert|section|date=May 2014}}
Without warning, millions of people around the globe simply vanish.

All that remains are their clothes and belongings … and an overwhelming sense of terror. The vanishings cause unmanned vehicles to crash and burn. Emergency forces everywhere are devastated. Gridlock, riots and looting overrun the cities. And there is no one to help or provide answers. In an instant, the earth has been plunged into darkness.

For RAY STEELE, the pilot of a jumbo jet, it means trying to calm his hysterical passengers who saw loved ones vanish before their eyes. It also means trying to land his damaged plane when every airport is jammed with burning wrecks, all while wishing that he could talk to his family one last time.

For BUCK WILLIAMS, the world-renowned journalist trapped at 30,000 feet, it means a struggle to understand the incomprehensible, the most devastating event in history.
And for CHLOE STEELE, Ray’s daughter back on the ground, it means trying to find her mother and brother. Lost in a post-apocalyptic landscape, she is forced to head home through a world where despair and rage rule the day. This is the story of the Rapture, the story of those LEFT BEHIND.

'''Tommy Wiseau''' ({{IPAc-en|w|ə|ˈ|s|oʊ}}) is an American director, screenwriter, producer, and actor. He is best known for ''[[The Room (film)|The Room]]'' (2003), which has been described as "one of the [[List of films considered the worst|worst movies ever made]]" and has gained [[cult film]] status.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://popwatch.ew.com/2008/12/30/the-room-postsc/|title='The Room': Worst movie ever?

Wiseau is secretive about his early life.<ref>{{cite web|last=Collis |first=Clark |url=http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20246031,00.html |title=The Crazy Cult of 'The Room' |publisher=EW.com |date=2008-12-12 |accessdate=2013-10-30}}</ref> In interviews following the release of ''The Room'', Wiseau gave an age which puts his birth date in 1968 or 1969.<ref name="crikey">{{cite web|url=http://blogs.crikey.com.au/cinetology/2010/02/16/interview-with-tommy-wiseau-actorwriterdirectorproducer-of-the-room/ |title=Interview with Tommy Wiseau, actor/writer/director/producer of The Room | Cinetology |publisher=Blogs.crikey.com.au |date=2010-02-16 |accessdate=2012-12-19}}</ref> He claimed to have grown up in [[New Orleans]], [[Louisiana]],<ref name="terminal">{{cite web|url=http://terminallaughter.ca/2009/03/29/interview-tommy-wiseau/ |title=Interview: Tommy Wiseau « Terminal Laughter |publisher=Terminallaughter.wordpress.com |date= |accessdate=2009-07-18}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=http://clatl.com/atlanta/trapped-in-the-room-with-tommy-wiseau/Content?oid=5343821 | title=Trapped in The Room with Tommy Wiseau | publisher=CL Atlanta | date=May 8, 2012 | accessdate=January 3, 2013 | author=Maddux, Rachael}}</ref> and to have lived in [[France]] "a long time ago",<ref name="spi">''[[Seattle Post Intelligencer]]'' article: "[http://www.seattlepi.com/ae/movies/article/Is-The-Room-the-worst-movie-of-all-time-1305606.php Is 'The Room' the worst movie of all time?]"</ref> moving back and forth between the [[United States]] and [[Europe]] throughout his life. Wiseau spent some time in France before moving to [[Chalmette, Louisiana|Chalmette]], [[Louisiana]].<ref name="aintitcool1">{{cite web|url=http://www.aintitcool.com/node/44619 |title=Capone's wacky Windy City weekend with Wiseau, creator of THE ROOM!!! | publisher=Ain't It Cool News | date=April 12, 2010 | accessdate=2013-01-20}}</ref>

In his 2013 memoir ''[[The Disaster Artist: My Life Inside the Room]]'', actor [[Greg Sestero]] related that Wiseau offered several stories about his past, over the course of their 15-year friendship.<ref name="disaster">''The Disaster Artist: My Life Inside the Room'' by [[Greg Sestero]] and [[Tom Bissell]]. [[Simon and Schuster]], 2013.</ref> Sestero claims to have obtained copies of Wiseau's immigration papers via his brother's girlfriend, revealing that Wiseau was "much older" than he claimed,<ref name="disaster" /> and that he was born in the 1950s somewhere in the [[Eastern Bloc]] of communist Europe. Sestero claims that Wiseau moved to [[Strasbourg]], [[France]] as a young adult, where he adopted the name Pierre and worked as a restaurant dishwasher.<ref name="disaster" /> After being wrongfully arrested following a drug raid at the youth hostel where he was staying, Sestero claims that Wiseau was detained and tortured for an indeterminate period of time by French police, a traumatic experience that led him to arrange passage to America to live with his aunt and uncle in [[Chalmette]], [[Louisiana]].<ref name="disaster" />

Sestero claims that Wiseau later moved to [[San Francisco]], where he worked as a street vendor selling toys to tourists near [[Fisherman's Wharf, San Francisco|Fisherman's Wharf]]. Locals nicknamed him "The Birdman" for his unique bird toys that were only popular in Europe at the time; this moniker led him to legally change his name to Thomas Pierre Wiseau, "taking the French word for ''bird'', ''oiseau'', and swapping out the O for the W of his birth name".<ref name="disaster" /> Some have also suggested that the "W" may be related to Wieczor, the surname of his aunt and uncle in Louisiana.<ref name="wie">{{cite web|url=http://www.avclub.com/article/a-redditor-sleuth-has-unraveled-the-mystery-of-tom-107084?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=ShareTools&utm_campaign=default |title= A Redditor sleuth has unraveled the mystery of Tommy Wiseau's nationality |publisher=''[[The A.V. Club]]'' |date= 2014-01-20|accessdate=2014-02-08}}</ref> According to Sestero, Wiseau worked in the San Francisco Bay Area in a variety of jobs, including restaurant busboy and hospital worker, as well as a second business called Street Fashions USA, selling [[product defect|irregular]] [[blue jeans]] at discounted prices. Wiseau eventually purchased and rented out large retail spaces in and around San Francisco and [[Los Angeles]], making him independently wealthy.<ref name="disaster" /> At some point in late adulthood, Wiseau was involved in a near-fatal car crash in California after another driver ran a red light and struck Wiseau's vehicle; as a result, Wiseau was hospitalized for several weeks. Sestero believes that this incident was the turning point in Wiseau's life that led him to pursue his dreams of becoming an actor and director, ambitions that he had long neglected while pursuing financial security.<ref name="disaster" />

Wiseau has stated that he has been influenced by the films ''[[The Guns of Navarone (film)|The Guns of Navarone]]'' and ''[[Citizen Kane]]'', and specifically the actors [[James Dean]] and [[Marlon Brando]].<ref name="nontv">{{cite web|url=http://nontv.tumblr.com/post/103062611/tommy-wiseau-interview |title=nonTV Interview: Tommy Wiseau |publisher=nonTV.tumblr.com |date= |accessdate=2009-05-19}}{{dead link|date=August 2013}}</ref><ref name="theonion">''[[The A.V.

==Career==

===Film===
Wiseau's best known production is the film ''[[The Room (film)|The Room]]'', released in 2003. Its budget was $6 million, the financing of which has remained a source of intrigue, and was based on an unpublished 540-page novel written by Wiseau himself.<ref name="Knegt"/> The movie was immediately lambasted by critics,<ref name="crazycult">Entertainment Weekly "[http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20246031,00.html The Crazy Cult That is the Room]"</ref> but ultimately became a "cult classic" with late-night showings at theaters around the country. Audience members typically arrive wearing wigs resembling their favorite characters, interact with the dialogue on screen, and throw plastic cutlery and footballs around the theater. This attention grew into what was dubbed ''The Room''{{'}}s 2010–2011 "Love is Blind" International Tour, with the movie being screened in the [[United Kingdom]], [[Germany]], [[Denmark]], [[Australia]] and [[India]], among other locations. Wiseau appears at many of these events, posing for photographs with fans and often addressing the audience before screenings.<ref>{{cite web | title = The Room Official Movie Site | url = http://www.theroommovie.com/ | accessdate = March 12, 2011}}</ref>
