Given that it takes no talent at all to be successful on tv and that he was on a wildly successful show for years,there has to be reasons for why he can't get a job in show biz.
Was his real-life Wigger fantasy causing him to act like a mini-gangsta behind the scenes at MWC,and pissing people off? Did his head blow up and cause him to ask for insane paydays after MWC ended and nobody want to hire him for that reason? -

It's been a couple of years since your question,but I have had the same questions and suspected the same reasons ever since the plug was pulled on MWC and he disappeared.
Seems like nobody that was in the cast even wants to mention his name,much less associate with him.
There has to be reasons for this. -

"Seems like nobody that was in the cast even wants to mention his name,much less associate with him." You're just wrong. The cast of MWC tended to like each other quite well, including liking Faustino. O'Neill, Sagal, and Applegate all appeared on Faustino's show Star-ving "associated with him" because they're old friends. (O'Neill's body language in reunion stuff is more warm to both Applegate and Faustino than to Sagal, as it happens.)
The reason there are so many failed television shows is that only a fraction of the time a cast has the likes of O'Neill, Sagal, Applegate, Faustino, etc., as well as creative writing. Faustino is a talented comic actor (not talented enough to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear like Pucked, but a very good guy to have around if your script is good). He hasn't had more success post-MWC than he has because he's hugely associated with one character and short, but he's doing well. -

I never heard much about his offscreen life, so I don't know what kind of personality he had.
I never even saw one interview with him, come to think of it.
I did read a bit of gossip (which may or may NOT be true, of course) that he did act like a prima donna or even nasty at times. Such as when he was dating the actress who played his onscreen gi16d0rlfriend Amber.
Gossip says that he made sure she was fired off the show once they broke up in real life.
I'd say this cloud is Cumulo Nimbus.
Didn't he discover America?
Penfold, shush.
