James Brown? Nope. Hardest Working Man in Showbiz is....

Ron Jeremy. OK, maybe not in 2007. His only film credit 9 days into 2007 is "Homo Erectus," what I'm sure is pure gold! Gold Jeremey! Gold! And come on, NINE days into 2007, that should be nine porno movies, but he's been so busy over his career he can afford to take a break. This is a man who's been in 975 movies from his beginnings in "Coed Teasers" as Dr. Burns (Mr. Burns' brother?) in 1978 until this year's movie where he plays someone named "Oog". And that doesn't include 134 instances of him being a director, 8 writing credits, and about 137 television credits, including this year's fantastic "The Surreal Life: Fame Games". I just watched the first episode, and with these kinds of numbers, Ron is definately A-List. He's worked harder, er, more frequently, than anyone else in showbusiness, except for maybe Mickey Rooney, who was in a much less impressive 305 movies or shorts between 1926 and 2007.
