Clint Catalyst (born April 8, 1971) is the nom de plume[1] of Clinton Green, an American author, actor, spoken word performer, and stylist.

Other than a year in Germany on scholarship, he remained there until he attended Hendrix College, where he started As If magazine[10] and received a Bachelors in English with honors distinction.

[14] Writing in the LA Weekly, Linda Immediato called Catalyst a "Midwestern ex–meth head who came to L.A. by way of San Francisco, where he was a goth art-club darling — the most photographed model of the underground."

"[15] In 1989, Catalyst was one of 25 graduating high school seniors in the U.S. to be awarded the Congress-Bundestag Youth Exchange scholarship through Nacel Open Door, which enabled him to live and study a year in Germany.

[20] While touring together in the year 2000, Catalyst and artist Michelle Tea came up with the idea to solicit first-person narratives for their 2004 anthology Pills, Thrills, Chills and Heartache, which was published by Alyson Books.

In November 2008, Catalyst had a cameo as the stylist for Antoine de Caunes in Allez a L.A.!, a five-part series that ran on the French Cable Network Canal Plus.

[31] As 'Himself', Catalyst appeared in a celluloid version of the off-musical comedy Forever Plaid, shown nationwide in theatres for one night in 2009 to celebrate the play's 20th anniversary.

[51] He has also hosted literary events, including a monthly spoken word series entitled The Unhappy Hour at the Parlour Club (where he also created performance art night Touché).

[59] Moreover, from May 3 to August 31, 2008, a portrait of Catalyst, along with a filmed version of his spoken word/performance piece "To Push Away or Clutch"[60] was on display in The Andy Warhol Museum (Pittsburgh, PA).

Deemed an 'Uberstar'—along with designer Rami Kashou, photographer Dirk Mai, journalist Rose Apodaca, model/designer Audrey Kitching, and internet celebrity Cory Kennedy—Catalyst was hand-picked by sculptor/visual artist Glenn Kaino to represent his 21st Century take on Andy Warhol's Superstars.
