Question
Hello, I was wondering if you could help me with a movie that William H. Masey acted in - he was I think a mentally challenged man selling items from door to door.
Could you tell me the name of that movie?
Thanks,
RUSS

Answer
Hi Rusty,

I believe the movie name you're searching for is "Door to Door."  It premiered on TNT.  For more information about the movie, the following is a link to the movie's official site:

http://www.tnt.tv/Title/Display/0,5918,341694,00.html

The reason why you might have had difficulty finding this information is that William's last name is spelled Macy.  Just like the department store chain.

William won 2 Emmys this year for "Door to Door."  One emmy for acting and another that he shared for writing the script for "Door to Door."  Additionally, he was also nominated for a Golden Globe and won the Screen Actors Award for his performance.

He had 3 previous Emmy nominations (guest starring on "Sports Night" and "ER" and lead actor for "A Slight Case of Murder."

He has an Oscar nomination for his performance for "Fargo" and he won an Independent Spirit Award for his performance in "Fargo."  He had 2 Spirit Award nominations prior to his win.

I hope this helps.  
Good luck on all your future endeavors,
H.

PS  If this has been helpful, I would appreciate you taking the time to fill out a recommendation.  Thanks.
