re: Matthew Gray Gubler from this article/interview

He has even reached that level of fame where he's the subject of a growing Internet rumor: that he's the basis for the Killers' song "Mr. Brightside," in which frontman Brandon Flowers sings about watching another man seduce his girl. Gubler, who's working with a mutual friend on a small project for the band, says that claim "blew my mind," but it's not true.

"I don't think so, anyway. I haven't really asked Brandon about it," he says. "I think I'd rather not ask him about it."

"But," he adds in closing, "I am Roxanne from the Sting song."
