Agent W

Andy Warhol (1928–1987) was an American artist, printmaker, and filmmaker. Agent K revealed that he is Agent W, a member of the Men in Black. He was a leading figure in the Visual Art Movement known as pop art. Despite his fame, Warhol is desperate to end his undercover job since "[He's] so running out of ideas, [He's] painting soup cans and bananas" (which Agent J rather likes) and "can't tell the men from the women" and requests that Agent K help him fake his death. Warhol passed in 1987. In Men in Black III, Warhol appears in the 1960's part of the time-travel tale. He is played by Bill Hader.

Trivia

 * Hader had to wear a fake nose to play Warhol.
 * Warhol was shot by Valerie Solanas, a radical feminist writer in 1968, the year before the Agent J meets him. The shooting was believed to have caused him health problems, to the point where he had to wear a corset for the rest of his life to hold his organs.
