Tommy Wiseau is the man responsible for "The Room." The 62-year-old actor directed, wrote, produced and starred in the cult film in which he played Johnny, the main character. According to reports, Tommy planned for the movie to be perfectly imperfect. "I was planning to provoke the audience and I did my job, you see," Tommy told Entertainment Weekly. "The movie's not a boring movie, it's just that you have to interact — if you want to, it's not like everybody has to — but I think you can get something, you relate to it, that's important to me."
