Himself
Raised in the Tennessee mountains, Wayne White started his career as a cartoonist in NYC. He quickly found success as one of the creators of the Pee-wee's Playhouse TV show which soon led to more work designing some of the most arresting and iconic images in pop culture. Recently his word paintings featuring pithy and and often sarcastic text statements finely crafted onto vintage landscape paintings have made him a darling of the fine art world. The movie chronicles the vaulted highs and crushing lows of an artist struggling to find peace and balance between his professional work and his personal art. This is especially complicated for a man who struggles with the virtues he most often mocks in his art...Vanity, ego and fame.

Vance the Pig (voice)
Eu moro em uma fazenda, onde sirvo panquecas no café da manhã para os animais e trabalho em experimentos botânicos supersecretos com meu porquinho de estimação, o Vance. Um dia, uma tempestade traz um circo para a minha fazenda! Eles têm animais selvagens e outras coisas muito bacanas - principalmente a trapezista Gina. Ela é a garota mais bonita que já vi na minha vida! É também a garota mais bonita que já beijei na vida! É por isso que a minha noiva, Winnie, fica tão brava. Cá entre nós, um tórrido triângulo amoroso é um prato cheio para qualquer um! No final, tudo acaba bem, e eu até mesmo me torno atração de circo! Serragem, brilho e emoção. Espero que se divirtam!
