Steve Sires, a Bill Gates impersonator who lives in Bothell, Washington, near Microsoft headquarters in Redmond, first came to Microsoft's attention when he attempted to trademark "Microsortof". His resemblance and minor fame because of this landed him a role as Gates in one of Microsoft's corporate films. However, Sires has once again upset Microsoft by taking part in Nothing So Strange, where Sires' character steps out of his limo, looks up and then is assassinated. Nothing So Strange, an independent mockumentary made its debut in January of 2002 at the Slamdance Film Festival.
