Tyson Lies Throughout the movie.
I was shocked at the lies and fabrications Mike told in this movie.
1. He said he was always an addict
2. He was always an alcoholic
3. He always had demons
4. Managers Jacobs and Cayton were "slave masters" and signed him when he was underage.
Mike completely ignored 1984-1988 when he was a hero. He failed to mention that, in 1987, he was hired to do network TV commercials for Pepsi Cola, Nintendo Video and Kodak Film. Not enough -he was hired by the New York City Police Department, the FBI and the Drug Enforcement Administration to do PSA's. The Police and FBI do not usually hire addicts, or those who have demons, as role models. My entire correspondence with Mike's manager, Harlan Werner, the film's producers, as well as documents and photos proving Mike's huge hero status during 1984-1988 with Cayton and Jacobs may be found at this website:
