Returned missionary makes waves as Mister Him in Italy
Depending on who you ask, returned Mormon missionary Marco Lui is either a successful working Italian mime/comedian whose name is linked to Italian version work on a number of popular movies and film projects including "March of the Penguins," "Ice Age 2," "Robots," "Garfield," "Alien vs. Predator" and the Italian version of "Young Frankenstein."
Or he is a children's cartoon creator whose name is mud — or more specifically Mister Him.
His cartoon creations (which have run just prior to the end of the ads after children's cartoons on the Italy 1 channel) have been attacked by parents and Internet viewers since they started airing in 2005. The critics demanded the gags be removed and even suggested Lui be "banished from the Earth." (The shorts were dropped in July 2008.)
