    I read the wiki page on him, because sadly I've never heard of him, and immediately thought "how in the fuck have they not made a movie about this guy". Well, it turns out Showtime is actually making a mini-series with him played by Ethan Hawke. Hopefully they do him justice.

    It literally premieres next week.
