Simon Rex just wants to be famous

We've always had a thing for Simon Rex. You probably have no clue who he is, though he has appeared in the entertainment rags from time to time. He once worked as a VJ for MTV, appeared in the jerk-off video 'Brad Posey's Young, Hard & Solo,' starred in hit shows like 'Felicity' and 'What I Like About You,' and the not-so-blockbusters 'Scary Movie 4' and 'Karate Dog.'

You could say he has had a varied career.

And now Simon's back peddling a new pilot with the help of his friends Lance Bass, Jamie Presley, and Paris Hilton. Called "Rex," the show follows the actor in the final moments of his fifteen minutes of fame (and how he plans to extend his time in the limelight).

And if that's too much for you (or you haven't become a Facebook drone) check out this video from one of Rex' earlier works ...
