*Abagnale

I would also note that while Andy of course fancies he and Abagnale have a lot in common, Frank actually went on to make something of himself and is responsible for a lot of the anti-fraud measures built into paper checks over the past few decades. I've gotten a lot out of his books on detecting financial fraud (unsurprisingly, the kinds of people who pass bad checks and the kinds of people who use and manipulate other people have quite a bit in common).
