Evocateur: The Morton Downey Jr. Movie (2013)
Character: Self (archive footage)
Long before O'Reilly and Beck, Morton Downey, Jr., was tearing up the talk-show format with his divisive populism. Between the fistfights, rabid audience, and Mort's cigarette smoke always "in your face," The Morton Downey Jr. Show was billed as "3-D television," "rock and roll without the music." Évocateur meditates on the hysteria that ended the '80s and ultimately its most notorious agitator.

Hollywood Cabaret The Movie (1992)
Character: Carlton
Two Aliens — drop-dead gorgeous ZAB (Jessica Hahn) and her knock-out sister, DOB (Julie Strain) have left their drab alien home to visit the mysterious planet, Earth. As luck would have it, they land in Hollywood, and mistakenly end up in an audition for THE HIGH HEELS REVUE, a racy cabaret show. They get the parts, but they also get the unscrupulous Carlton, (Morton Downey Jr.), who manages the Cabaret. Entwined in the plot are some very slick song-and-dance routines, plus a lot of down-to-earth, human drama. Quite a trip for our Aliens, who return home with a new outlook on life.

La Fabrique de l'ignorance (2020)
Character: Himself (archive footage)
Tobacco, climate change, pesticides,... Never has scientific knowledge seemed so vast, detailed and shared. And yet it appears to be increasingly challenged. It is no longer surprising to see private corporations put strategies in place to confuse the public debate and paralyze political decision-making. Overwhelmed by excess of information, how can we, as citizens, sort out fact from fiction? One by one, this film dismantles the workings of this clever manoeuvre that aims to turn science against itself. Thanks to declassified archives, graphic animations and testimonies from experts, lobbyists and politicians, this investigation plunges us into the science of doubt. Along with a team of experts (philosophers, economists, cognitive scientists, political men, or even agnotologists), we explore concrete examples of doubt making and try to understand the whole process and the issues behind it.
