Claim: Jamie Kennedy, who created the false persona "Marty Power", became famous for his role in the Scream film series but was nominated for Worst Actor for his performance in Son of the Mask.
Evidence: Kennedy created a false persona, screen agent "Marty Power", to attract the attention of real agents and managers over the phone, who would later book his performances.
