PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – Our beloved Gritty may not be hosting the Academy Awards but he is featured in a prestigious New York magazine. Gritty is the face of a recently published New Yorker magazine article called "The Year In Good Men."

Fry goes on to mention his infamous entrance when he descended from the top of the Wells Fargo Center to Miley Cyrus' "I Came In Like A Wrecking Ball."
