During the 1960s, Abagnale attended high school in Long Island. His father built a profitable stationery store on Madison Avenue in New York City. When his father suffered a business loss and his parents divorced, the son left home in 1964 with around $100 in his pocket. The sixteen-year-old vowed to make up for his father's losses and bring his parents together again. To this end, in the years that followed, the young man developed an unusual talent for creative transformation, starting with forging his driver's license by bringing his birth year forward by 10 years. Even before he turned 21, the teenager, who appeared much older, had already posed as a pilot for the Pan Am airline, a doctor, a lawyer and a professor of history. Through forged checks, Abagnale secured a fortune of over $2.5 million.
Throughout his 5-year criminal career, Abagnale was patiently pursued by FBI agent Carl Hanratty in a sort of cat-and-mouse game. At the end of his criminal career, he was wanted in 26 countries and the entire USA as "The Skywayman", who, thanks to a fake "Pan Am" identity card, repeatedly managed to escape by plane to other states and countries. After the fraudster was finally arrested in France in 1969, he was extradited to Sweden after a French prison sentence, where he also served time in a Malmö prison. Ultimately, Abagnale was extradited to the United States and sentenced to 12 years in prison. In 1974, however, the US government offered him early release in return for revealing his criminal skills and knowledge. Abagnale decided to work with the FBI, where he then held expert seminars in its financial crimes unit. Authorities and companies around the world soon became interested in the former document forger's expert knowledge.
As independent entrepreneurs, "Abagnale & Associates" today offer services for expert assessment and advice in the area of documents and certificates with great success on an international scale. Abagnale married and had three sons. With his company profits, the fraud expert paid back the entire $2.5 million that he had once swindled. The quick-change artist and creative fraudster has an intelligence quotient of 136. In 2001, Abagnale published his book "The Art of the Steal", a guide to preventing fraud and counterfeit crime. Based on Abagnale's autobiography of the same name from 1980, Steven Spielberg filmed the life of the cunning fraudster in 2002: In "Catch me if You can" the actor Leonardo DiCaprio plays the young Abagnale.
In the run-up to the US presidential election in November 2004, Abagnale spoke out in favor of the incumbent President George W. Bush: As an expert in document forgery, he declared the recently published notes of National Guard Lieutenant Colonel Jerry Kilian about alleged misconduct by Lieutenant Bush in 1972 Counterfeits. A little later, the television station "CBS", which had released the documents during the election campaign, had to admit the mistake and apologize. In 2015, he was named an AARP Fraud Watch Ambassador, where he helps "provide online programs and community forums to educate consumers about ways to protect themselves from identity theft and cybercrime." In 2018, he began co-hosting the AARP podcast "The Perfect Scam."- Bruce Watson was born on 27 July 1940 in Bronxville, New York, USA.

Fourteen countries including Japan, Brazil, and Portugal, have seen him pass through, either by himself, or singing as guest with other musicians.

Paul took a summer job and served eight years as a lifeguard, to pay the bills and swam in sponsored events to raise money for cancer related charities. He became a volunteer schoolteacher for both 3rd grade special education and later a program in comedic acting for kids.

Studying at SUNY Oswego, Paul achieved a B.A. in Theater Arts in acting and directing. He spent time in England at Imperial College, London. The plays and culture would shape his acting talents immeasurably. After University, Paul headed into New York City and engulfed himself immediately in countless plays and started his transition to film roles.

Her 2015 album, Blackbirds, debuted at number one on the UK Country chart and in the top 40 UK pop chart and was awarded International Album of the Year and Song of the Year.

Bruce Lawton is an all around motion picture and video specialist, who hails from three generations of noted cinematographers (Don, Karl & Rick Malkames) who have long been involved in film restoration and preservation. His enthusiastic interest in "the family trade" took hold at an early age (before he learned to speak actually!) and blossomed into an insatiable appetite for early cinema - particularly classic comedy. His tireless study of film throughout childhood prepared him for a five year tenure with Killiam Shows in New York City where from 1988 to 1992, he served as archival director of the company's vast collection of restored silent classics and archival materials. In the past, he has produced and edited documentaries and presentations for public and international television and presided over numerous home video releases for Republic Pictures and The Voyager Company. Editor, Andrew Marcus commissioned him to prepare special sequences which appeared in the Merchant-Ivory productions, "Mr. & Mrs. Bridge" and "The Ballad of the Sad Cafe". He provided archival material for the AFI's "Visions of Light: The Art of Cinematography", served as a consultant on Jazzmedia's "The Chaplin Puzzle" and was the East Coast coordinator on Chuck Workman's "The First 100 Years of Film" for HBO. He discovered and provided material which made it possible for Turner Entertainment to more fully restore Buster Keaton's "The Cameraman" and has helped track down rare material for Michael Agee's series of Laurel & Hardy silents on DVD. He has had the pleasure of working with Kevin Brownlow and David Gill on the three-part television series, "D.W. Griffith: The Father of Film" - as well as assisting them with their restoration of "The Gold Rush" for The Chaplin Estate. Other related activities have included producing archival transfers of over ten hours of rare audio recordings of Lucille Ball & Desi Arnaz for a CD-ROM produced by Lucie Arnaz and inspecting Paramount's film and video vaults on both coasts in order to review their archival preservation program. Since 1996, Bruce has been producing "live cinema" programs with silent film accompanist, Ben Model.
