A Kentucky man posed as a dead body on TikTok for 321 days. Now ... (Courier Journal)

Josh Nalley of Elizabethtown, Kentucky, has been posting on TikTok each day for over a year with the goal of being cast as a 'dead guy' on a TV show.

I thought if I was creative enough playing an un-alive person, I could get the attention of a television show or a movie production company, and how about that, it worked." He's actually received several offers to "play dead" including in a music video and there have been a few low-budget movies that have also reached out. That was kind of embarrassing." "So rather than laying facedown I kind of turned over on my side and played dead. It turned out that [Mario Van Peeples](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0005522/) was the director for that episode so besides getting cast in the show, I also got to meet him, which was great." "One of my dogs still seems curious about what I am up to. "Of course, it was a telemarketer calling. "Having done more than 300 of these posts, I have progressed and gotten better. In his post from Day 91, Nalley is facedown next to a statue in Bernheim Forest. "I don't like speaking on camera, but I can lie there and act like I am dead pretty easily," he laughed. Most often he's laying facedown, in snow, dirt, grass, or rocks on the bank of a river, someone's front lawn, or a local park. Now he's going to be on CSI
