  1. Beyond film

    Cameron performs a two-person show, The Nigerian Spam Scam Scam, with actor Victor Isaac, reading from letters Cameron exchanged over 11 months with a Nigerian 419 scammer. It played the Edinburgh Fringe Comedy Festival in 2004 and 2005.

  2. Behind the camera

    At the Sacred Fools Theater Company in Los Angeles, California, Cameron took on directing and choreography duties for Bukowsical, a late night musical theater parody. He also directed videos for the heavy metal band Steel Panther.

  3. A change of course

    Asked by a girl if he played anything, Cameron fibbed that the banjo was his instrument. He then told her the guitar was another, so he had to learn it fast, spending six months on "Stairway to Heaven" with a friend before switching to bass in the 1980s.
