MTV is looking for online poker players--and others who may lead alterative lives on the Web--to star in its "True Life" series. "We're reaching out to a number of different online groups and
cultures, and we thought it could be fascinating to profile someone who gambles online," says Ben Rosen, whose company, LeftRight.tv, produces the show. Rosen, who has been posting in online forums,
including those dedicated to poker, adds: "the key thing we're looking for is that our subject leads a life that is very distinct/unique/interesting when juxtaposed to his or her online gambling
activities." The documentary series tells the stories of young people and unusual subcultures they might inhabit. It has featured people with Tourette's syndrome, gay marriage activists and people
dealing with pregnancy, debt and other issues.
