Chances are good that, if until a few minutes ago you had no idea what an entire career was, none of the people who have that career are famous. Case in point - try naming a famous luthier or smutter. Those are both real jobs, and no - the latter has nothing to do with the adult film industry.

Your anonymity is just fine by you though. It would be so tough to get any work done if you were constantly being hounded for your autograph and had paparazzi snapping photos of you from a window washing scaffold outside your office on the 48th floor. Besides, you already have all the rabid fans a man could ever need, and they follow you everywhere. Their names are 1... 2... 3... 4... 5... 6...
