Before he was in Heroes, Adrian Pasdar starred as Jim Profit, the creepily fascinating anti-hero of this brilliant satire of the business world. Ruthless and amoral, Profit rose rapidly in the ranks, leaving behind burned bosses and the broken hearts of female co-workers. Then each night, he went home, stripped naked, and climbed into a big cardboard box with a hole cut into the side to watch his TV. (He reverted to the perverted way he was raised.) Is it any wonder this became a cult classic? Is it any wonder it was canceled after only five of its nine episodes aired?
