It’s been called the "Citizen Cane" of bad movies. "The Room" is a low-budget film phenomenon that started in Los Angeles and has grown to cult status on par with the "Rocky Horror Picture Show."

But what’s become of the actors in the now infamous flick?

One of them lives right here in Phoenix. Fans will know Phil Haldiman as Tommy Wisseu’s next door neighbor Denny.

He’s now working on a new creative project that reflects on his unpredictable journey to silver screen stardom.               

Phil Haldiman will be signing issues of his comic book series “My Big Break” Thursday night at Film Bar before a screening of The Room.
