The Love Butcher
Caleb is a crippled gardener, a self-proclaimed "gimp." He has Coke-bottle glasses, malformed hands, and can't seem to communicate with the opposite sex. His brother Lester, on the other hand, is handsome, suave and seductive, able to assume various personalities from a Texas businessman to a Latino record salesman all in the name of getting laid. There's a twist, though: Caleb and Lester are both played by the same actor, Erik Stern, in a jaw dropping bit of mega-acting that will lodge itself in your heart and perplex your senses as the homicidal Lester dispatches his sexual conquests with a variety of lawn-care equipment and phony accents.
