Arthur Kade

Arthur Kade (born Arthur Kadyshes) is an American former financial adviser. Raised by his grandmother in Northeast Philadelphia, he attended college at Temple University. Upon graduation, he began a career as a financial adviser with American Express Financial Advisers. In early 2009, he embarked on what he calls "The Journey", the pursuit of his lifelong dream of becoming an actor and model.

Kade has appeared as an extra on one scene on Gossip Girl and on television, radio, in blogs and newspapers, as well as in an article in Philadelphia Magazine. As of October 2009, production company IMG Media was reported to be developing a reality television project based on Kade's life. Kade appears in an episode of the Showtime series La La Land in which the Borat-like host Marc Wootton, hoping for "a master class in self-confidence", interviews Kade while pretending to be a London cabbie wanting to become an actor.

Critics have argued that Kade's desire is simply to become famous at whatever cost. He has been criticized for engaging in self-promotion, which has resulted in media coverage.
