If he wasn't a pro and could be another famous person, Shane would be: Why the hell would I want to be someone else? Plus being famous would totally suck. You would never have any privacy. You couldn’t go into public without people bugging you and wanting some of your time. How about infamous? If so I would choose D.B. Cooper. Back in 1971 he hijacked a 727 extorted $200,000 from the FBI when the plane landed in Seattle and then took off again and bailed out of the plane never to be seen or heard from again. Totally stuck it.
