Director Wayne McClammy has signed with bicoastal/international Hungry Man for commercial representation. He was formerly repped by Oil Factory, Los Angeles.
McClammy is perhaps best known for the short video Who’s F*cking Matt Damon?, which was featured on Jimmy Kimmel Live and has gone on to generate considerable viral buzz. The short, which stars actor Damon and comedian Sarah Silverman, continues to gain fans and hits on YouTube. It was not only directed but also edited and co-written by McClammy.
McClammy got his start in directing by making short films that were featured in the Austin (where he received the Audience Award), Los Angeles, Santa Barbara and Seattle International Film Festivals. Two of his shorts gained exposure in the well-known Texas theater chain, The Alamo Draft House. He soon got noticed by the likes of Bob Odenkirk, Jimmy Kimmel, and Sarah Silverman. Kimmel was so impressed he brought McClammy on board to be the comedy segment director for his ABC show.
In addition to his writing and directing for Jimmy Kimmel Live, McClammy is a director on The Sarah Silverman Program for Comedy Central and is in pre-production to direct the 20th Century Fox comedy Cool School.
Gene Hackman Died Of Heart Disease; Hantavirus Claimed His Wife’s Life About One Week Prior
Actor Gene Hackman died of heart disease a full week after his wife died from hantavirus in their New Mexico hillside home, likely unaware that she was dead because he was in the advanced stages of Alzheimer's disease, authorities revealed Friday. Both deaths were ruled to be from natural causes, chief medical examiner Dr. Heather Jarrell said alongside state fire and health officials at a news conference.

Investigators found that the last known communication and activity from Arakawa was Feb. 11 when she visited a pharmacy, pet store and grocery before returning to their gated neighborhood that afternoon, Santa Fe County Sheriff Adan Mendoza said Friday. Hackman's pacemaker last showed signs of activity a week later and that he had an abnormal heart rhythm Feb. 18, the day he likely died, Jarrell said. Although there was no reliable way to determine the date and time when both died, all signs point to their deaths coming a week apart, Jarrell said. "It's quite possible he was not aware she was deceased," Jarrell said. Dr. Michael Baden, a former New York City medical examiner, said he believes Hackman was severely impaired due to Alzheimer's disease and unable to deal with his wife's death in the last week of his life. "You are talking about very severe Alzheimer's disease that normal people would be in a nursing home or have a nurse, but she was taking care... Read More
