Remember the underwear-clad guy atop the Charging Bull sculpture near Wall Street? Now Daily Intel reveals it wasn't a drunk intern or other victim of investment firm debauchery—"He was Peter Killy, a fortysomething actor who was making an indie movie, The Robber Barons of Wall Street. This particular pose was a shot they plan to use for the promotional poster." Killy said, "I am slightly disturbed that this opportunistic photographer never bothered to see if I was dead or alive. I had my photographer and director there, they said a police car drove by and didn't even stop. That was the funniest part of all ... It was just like another day in the financial district."
