Legend is no mere pseudonym.
He's a rockabilly musician, director and film archivist who has lurked around San Jose nightclubs and theaters for years. He also has a walk on role in Man on the Moon , the Jim Carrey starring bio-pic about Kaufman. Blink and you'll miss Legend, who plays a New Age shaman covered with beads and gray waist-length beard and hair. The hair is all his. There were lots of people involved on the edges of Kaufman's career who tried to get into the movie and ended up on the cutting-room floor.
