He's probably best known as the subject of the movie "Catch Me If You Can" with Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hanks.
Tony Curtis starred in a similar movie back in 1961 called "The Great Impostor" which was also based on a true story.
Abagnale is also the inspiration for the TV series "White Collar", one of my personal favorites. He worked with the FBI to help them solve crimes involving forgery and cons. Abagnale currently runs a security company, Abagnale and Associates.
