Michael Lewis will be remembered for so much. The story of where he came from, and the success was simply beyond any movie script. Above else though, people came to love him because of his regular guy status.

"“Everybody looks at me like a regular guy because I had a 9-5 and didn’t go to college. It was like, ‘This guy was one of us. He worked every single day. He drove a beer truck.'” Lewis said. “That’s what keeps me grounded and in touch with the fans, because they know that I knew what it was like to get up every morning and punch in a time clock.”"
