Chris Pratt being the link between Cheech & Chong and the Kennedys is ridic
Before Hollywood, I was living in a van in Hawaii and waiting tables at Bubba Gump Shrimp Company. One day, the incredible Rae Dawn Chong walked into the restaurant, and naturally, I went up to her table and said, “Hey, you’re a movie star! What are you doing here?”
She asked if I could act, and I said, “Fuck yeah, put me in your movie!”
She asked for my phone number. The only problem was I didn’t have one. So I gave her my buddy Mike’s number instead. A couple days later, Mike casually mentions, “Oh, by the way, someone called you.” ARE YOU KIDDING ME, MIKE?!
I called her back, and sure enough, she was serious. I drove over to pick up the script, went back to Mike’s house, and read all 120 pages three times in a row. First script I’d ever read. My character's name was Devon, and I remember thinking, “Sweet! I could totally play a Devon!”
I showed up to the audition with every line and inflection mapped out in pencil. Rae told me I could act and offered me the part. I asked if we were shooting in Hawaii. Nope. Los Angeles.
I had about $60 to my name, a bag of clothes, and some rollerblades.
Then Rae told me they'd fly me out. And I remember thinking right then and there, my life just changed forever. I'm going to be an actor.
That little movie was Cursed Part 3, a low-budget horror comedy that opened the door to Hollywood for me.
I'll forever be grateful to Rae for taking a chance on a kid working at a shrimp restaurant. Everybody starts somewhere, and this is where it all began for me.

People make fun of Steven Seagal Because he’s a pretentious douchebag. The actor Stephen Tobolowsky has what is perhaps my favorite Steven Seagal anecdote ever. In the 1996 flick “Glimmer Man”, Tobolowsky played a psychopathic serial killer. And Seagal had to kill this horrible villain, as any hero in any action flick ought to. But he suddenly decided he did not want to kill anyone anymore because killing people, even fake people in a movie, would be “bad for his karma”.
Steven Seagal was big in his Tibetan Buddhism phase. And like all things in life, Seagal adopted it with the childlike enthusiasm only the simple-minded with a strictly rudimentary understanding of matters could ever hope to possess — Buddhism says killing is bad, I fake-kill people for a living, this is bad, so I cannot do it anymore. The director, in desperation, talked to Tobolowsky and asked him to not entertain Seagal’s delusions as the death scene had to be shot for the film to be concluded…
And so, Stephen Tobolowsky explained to Steven Seagal that his character was “in pain” from his sinful and horrible life and that he was begging to be killed through his actions. And that if Seagal’s character killed his, the character’s soul could then be reincarnated in a better place and start anew and the world would be better for it. “You would be doing him a kindness,” he concluded Tobolowsky solemnly. After which Seagal did shoot the scene, and killed the villain.
"I was pissed off when David Cronenberg, one of the kings of body horror, once again made a movie with some body horror aspects."
