The all-seeing eyes of his many billboards stare into our souls. We’ve seen him in costumes and photoshopped onto Mount Rushmore. His head is emblazoned onto T-shirts, baby bibs and holiday merch.
“It’s a serious business,” Tim Misny says. “But nowhere does it say you can’t have fun with your advertising.”
Now, the infamous injury lawyer who “makes them pay” is getting the film treatment. First, an artificially generated video series, The Adventures of Tim Misny, is a surreal, fictionalized version of Misny’s life. Meanwhile, Misny is involved in a documentary, The Misny Movie, following his life and work.
Releasing later this year, it’s another Misny stamp on the place he calls home.
“Northeast Ohio is phenomenal,” Misny says, “and I’m having a lot of fun with it.”
