Vincent Kartheiser Doesn't Have A Pot To Piss In And He Likes It That Way
Vincent Kartheiser, who plays Pete Campbell on Mad Men, doesn't have a car and lives in a 1-room wooden box without a toilet or a TV. Welcome to another episode of, "Nicolas Cage, This Is Your Future Life!"
In an interview with the Guardian, Vincent says he got so sick of stuff that he threw everything out of his small Hollywood home while it's being renovated. Everything including a toilet. Yeah, so that pile of caca you stepped on in front of Vincent's house didn't come from a dog. You became one with Pete Cambell.
Vincent says, "I go on the bus, I walk. A friend left his car recently at my house and I took it out one day just for 15 minutes and it was terrible. You know why? I felt like I was back in LA again. Four or five years ago, when I had a car and I had been out of the city I wouldn't feel I was back until I got in the car, you know. But now I feel off the grid. I feel that I am not part of the culture. And because I don't have a car I don't really go anywhere to buy things. In fact, I have been in a slow process of selling and giving away everything I own.
Like, I don't have a toilet at the moment. My house is just a wooden box. I mean I am planning to get a toilet at some point. But for now I have to go to the neighbors. I threw it all out.
It started a couple of years ago. It was in response to going to these Golden Globe type events and they just give you stuff. You don't want it. You don't use it. And then Mad Men started to become a success on a popular level and people started sending me stuff, just boxes of shit. Gifts for every holiday, clothes. One day, I looked around and thought 'I don't want this stuff, I didn't ask for it'. So I started giving it to friends or charity stores, or if it is still in its box I might sell it for a hundred bucks. I liked it so I didn't stop."
First of all, Vincent must have a special bond with his neighbors if they let him shit in their toilet all the time. He should get them a bouquet of urinal cakes as a thank you. Second of all, where does Vincent do all his thinking. That's what the toilet is for. It's where you think, read, file your nails, draw pictures on your thighs with a sharpie, talk to your relatives, smell shampoo bottles, write your blog posts, etc.. etc.. Doing all those things while squatting over a cut-off milk carton in the backyard just isn't the same thing.

I had LOTS of shit before I moved to Europe, but now that I have less material things (aside from clothes clothes clothes and more clothes) I am OK with it.
I have not driven a car in over ten years, but then again, I have not lived anywhere that you'd need one either. New Yorkers don't need cars. But if I lived in Los Angeles I certainly would NOT be on a fuckin' public bus!

OMG.
I never comment here, but I have to tell you guys I've known this guy for 20 years and he's one of the biggest pricks I've ever met.
That's all. Carry on.
------------------------------
LOL Thanks for clearing it up for us. No I don't need to give him the benefit of the doubt about him not being a total self-centered prick.
I'm sure he worships the asshole whom "Into The Wild" is based on.
Kudos to him for being better than us who are still attached to our toilets. He is still an asshole regardless.

The old accusation of "he was playing himself" would certainly not apply here.

Who the hell gives away their toilet? MK is right; THE most important things are accomplished on the toilet daily. I would go insane without one. Pooping not only cleanses the body, it also clears the mind. This guy has lost it.

VK sounds a lil bit crazy there... giving away everything? That sounds like he's getting ready to commit suicide. I mean, I understand getting rid of shit, I have so much of it. But his toilet? Ku---raaaazy....
Yes, this is the creepy forever-17 looking dude who played Connor on Angel. If I was his neighbor I'd be fucking pissed if my crazy-ass neighbor had to use my bathrooom every day. WTF.
i am totally taking a poo as i read this!! excellent

It's nice to read a brand new book, but really if you're not going to read it again in your lifetime give it away.

Word. Those brothers are just nasty.
And because I'm a nerd, everytime he's on Mad Men, I'm like, "oh look, Connor-from-Angel".
He looks like one of the McPoyle brothers from "It's Always Sunny." I'm sure he's a perfectly nice man, but he gives me the creeps on a mayjah level.
P.S. Vince, LiLo wants to come over and browse through your swag so she can help you "donate" it. Don't worry about the toilet thing. She'll go wherever these days.
Ok, enough pontificating, I need some liquor.

I'm all for thoughtful downsizing, but...sweetie...we all need a toilet. A good one that flushes the first time and doesn't run all night. That is what is called a necessity to us spoiled city folk.

He would be a lot cooler if he said he took his dumps and p's in the bushes of all his neighbors.
my grandpa did that once, in a yard sale took a piss in the bushes in front of everyone
my mom was DYING (is her fil) I cant stop laughing when I remenber because he is really dark it was in PA in white persons yard :D

Very helpful, thanks to those who answered my question! :)
Good for him!!! Although you gotta have a toilet/indoor plumbling to be at least in the 20th century if not the 21st.
I did the same thing with my closet. I got things down to 1 month's worth of wardrobe including underwear, shoes and jewelry. Meaning a month's worth of different outfits for day/evening/play/lounging. Everything is QUALITY I have to say. Then it's in heavy rotation throughout the year every month, mixing and matching. I do have about 10% of things that are sentimental or valuable (designer collectibles, black tie event dresses) that I keep in the back. It could be a year before I look at them but it's good to know that
I don't have to jump on a fashion bandwagon when it comes to certain things, cuz they are in the back of my closet.
I love shopping in my closet. I call it the boutique because everything I have is what I would buy If I owned a boutique.
I donated all my books including ones who were signed, got rid of the desktop, and when I read my mail I make sure I have the trash bin right next to me. I hate all that paper. I never hold on to a whole magazine. I just clip the articles I want to use for future reference then throw out the mag. You can go online now for mags.
Brush your teeth, hippie.

I feel the same way. Too much junk in my apt. that I don't need. I'm desparately trying to throw stuff out/give it away, and its amazing the wonders a clean, almost bare space does for the mind.

Smashley - This is my opinion, but after living in Los Angeles for 35 years I offer this advice.
You need a car. Period.
It is theoretically possible to survive in LA without one, but it would be EXTREMELY inconvenient. Getting around via public transportation is time-consuming and inefficient. This city is very spread out.
In fact, I wouldn't want to live here without my own transportation because one of the benefits of living here is that there is so much to do. But you need transportation to do it. Why live in LA if you are going to confine yourself to a small geographical area? It makes no sense.
Get a car before you get here. You won't like living here without one.
My 2 cents.
"while squatting over a cut-off milk carton in the backyard"
Heeey, y'know that's not a bad idea if one ever gets caught short. I might start stashing a few milk cartons around the garden.
I locked myself out one day OKAY???
He's ok with me. A refreshing change from the celebutards buying mansions with 40 fucking rooms. Plus he donates the stuff he feels he doesn't need. Win-win.

the studio probably provides a car & driver like his neighbor provides his toilet.
i think the only place where you don't need a car is NYC.

Are you gonna bark all day, little doggie, or are you you gonna bite?
I have a serious question here:* I'm planning a move Los Angeles for early next year, and the main delay in my move is that everyone who I know who lives there (and many people on online forums) INSIST that you need a car there to survive.
Also, I double checked one of the articles about this guy and it says he resides in LA (where 'Mad Men' is shot, etc..). Everyone says that the public trans is awful, unreliable, and almost non-existent. Is it realistic that this clown could make it without a car in LA??

"Golf fans are the biggest fucking idiots in the world"- Scott Ferrall
I'm not sure how not having a toilet - and then using your neighbor's - qualifies as some kind of nonmaterialistic ethos.
god, i hate these preachy holier than thou celebs who act like they are above it all. yo vinny, if you really are so fucking great and living the simple life now, why not just give me all that money you are making too. THAT would be cool.
you've just been violated!
He's just as creepy as his character. Every time he's on screen I get the willies. If I saw him coming across the yard, I'd close the blinds and lock the doors. No way in hell would I let that loser come stink up my bathroom! *gag* Unless there was some nice swag in it for me.
