Gavin McInnes is a writer and performer best known for being one of the original co-founders of VICE. After leaving VICE in 2008 because of “creative differences” with his fellow co-founders, the “godfather of hipsterdom” founded the website Street Carnage and has been occasionally doing things to piss people off.
Currently, McInnes stars in Fox Digital Studio’s How To Be A Man, which is described thusly on IMDB: “When former comedian Mark McCarthy is faced with a rare form of cancer, he hires a young, impressionable cameraman to document his crude and comical lessons on what it means to be a man for his unborn son.” The film is available for streaming on Netflix and is also available on iTunes and Amazon.
