My brother Keenen took me [and other brothers] Shawn and Craig to see Airplane! when we were kids. It was an influence on my life, as was Blazing Saddles. We're big fans of Mel Brooks. The Zucker brothers are legends they were pioneers in the parody game. I was definitely influenced by Airplane!but I think our humour was different. We didn't change the wheel, but we put a rim on the tyre.
Happy Pride to all my LGBTQ peeps. From my block to my schools to my cast and crews to my friends to my family... where ever you are or have been in my life I wish you all love and support. You can be a straight man and still love gay people.
