It's ironic that voiceover/radio actors are a dime a dozen nowadays, all struggling to make a living with their voice. Most of them are probably more qualified than this guy. But likely, this homeless dude will end up getting his 15 minutes and plus some.
It's kind of like Susan Boyle from a couple years ago. Actually not the greatest voice by any professional singing standards, but got her fame because of her slovenly appearance. Meanwhile, thousands of aspiring singers who have just as much talent and more training never even making it onto a professional stage.
And so now this man, who does seem to have honorably regained control of his life (or is it his golden voice that has me believing his words?), will end up with paid TV appearances talking with Al Roker on the Today Show and Ellen. And who knows, he may actually end up getting a gig.
This just proves that people just love a comeback/underdog story. It just gets proven time and time again. But a starving artist who's been at it their whole life, and gets nowhere? Not so much.

- Wait, this isn't a comeback story is it. Sorry. It's more like people just being fascinated with irony.randommail
