Will the real Frank William Abagnale please stand up

Some of you may remember the TV game show "To Tell the Truth", where this particular episode is about Frank William Abagnale. Who?


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.

This video is what caught my attention:


I just thought it was an interesting story...even more so than the popular accounts of his life.

Speaking of interesting...
