Man lands dream job after posing dead for 321 days

This is what we call an 'uncanny' way of getting a job...

This is proof that if you really want something, you don't just try once and give up. 

But power through and persist to get yourself out there. Josh Nalley from Kentucky, United States is the epitome of staying true to his goal. 

Of course, his goal was extremely unusual, but it was his dedication to it that really left us in admiration. 

He goes by the handle living_dead_josh on TikTok and has been posting videos of himself, well, as a corpse.

After setting out to post 'un-alive' videos for as long as it took to get a role in a TV show, he posted 321 videos showing off his creative approach to deathly scenes. 

His efforts were not in vain as he landed a role in an episode on 'CSI: Vegas' last year.
