00:00:00
you did man on the moon how was Carrie
00:00:02
on that with I love Jim Carrey was he
00:00:04
because you know I heard stories about
00:00:06
that movie but was it just was it
00:00:08
interesting have you guys ever done
00:00:10
anything with somebody who's doing that
00:00:12
sort of like I'm in the character all
00:00:14
the time thing uh a little bit I think
00:00:18
Sean Penn it was a movie called racing
00:00:21
with the moon wanted to be referred to
00:00:22
as character yeah yeah right my part was
00:00:26
cut out of the movie but I had a scene
00:00:28
with Sean Penn in a hospital yeah I was
00:00:31
I was a crazy man yeah you were like
00:00:34
another you were a lunatic in the
00:00:35
hospital yeah but I'll tell you what
00:00:37
Richard Benjamin called me at home and
00:00:39
said we love what you did but we have to
00:00:40
cut it out it was so sweet to do that so
00:00:42
oh that's it I worked with him I did a
00:00:44
movie I did a a Disney Family TV movie
00:00:47
with the heat directive where I played a
00:00:50
wacky Civil War ghost it was great it
00:00:52
was one of my favorite things I've ever
00:00:54
done it was so oh really yeah it was a
00:00:56
long time ago he was great oh yeah
00:00:58
Dickie Benjamin best I was blown away to
00:01:01
be working with Dickie Benjamin I was
00:01:03
like that's really that's amazing wait a
00:01:05
minute I'm a Man on the Moon Man on the
00:01:08
Moon oh it was um
00:01:09
yeah it was it was it was it was
00:01:11
challenging it was uh it was not it was
00:01:14
not easy you know he was great but it
00:01:16
was tricky you know because it was
00:01:18
sometimes hard to just kind of
00:01:21
fit yourself around what he was doing
00:01:22
you know being in the thing all the time
00:01:25
and it was it was tricky it was amazing
00:01:27
and and they made a documentary because
00:01:29
he filmed all this stuff off camera and
00:01:31
it was like what was going on off camera
00:01:33
was
00:01:34
almost was more insane than the actual
00:01:36
movie and and I think the idea was to
00:01:39
make some kind of movie out of that
00:01:40
which eventually he made this
00:01:41
documentary about it but it was like so
00:01:43
it's yeah Jim Carrey playing Andy
00:01:45
Kaufman who's playing Tony Clifton Tony
00:01:48
Clifton yeah so it was like so he was
00:01:50
home whenever he was Tony Clifton it was
00:01:52
particularly Mayhem off the set because
00:01:55
he was just [ __ ] you know he would so
00:01:57
you yell cut and he's still in character
00:01:59
and the character of Tony Clifton is
00:02:01
loud
00:02:03
yeah
00:02:05
what's your [ __ ] problem so he was
00:02:08
brown he's great yeah yeah brow beating
00:02:10
everybody and he was walking around with
00:02:12
[ __ ] stinky cheese in his pockets and
00:02:14
he was smearing stinky cheese on people
00:02:16
when he'd hug you he'd be like you know
00:02:18
give me a hug give me a give me a hug
00:02:19
and he would like you know he's stinking
00:02:21
and who pushed back the hardest who said
00:02:23
get the [ __ ] off me who put I don't know
00:02:25
that anybody did that was the thing is
00:02:27
that it was so such a [ __ ] weird
00:02:29
assault that I think people just you
00:02:31
were so kind of stunned there in the
00:02:33
headlights that you you couldn't really
00:02:35
we're just like okay okay I'll give you
00:02:38
a hug nobody really told him to [ __ ] off
00:02:40
because it was just sort of you know it
00:02:42
just occupied the whole [ __ ] room
00:02:44
whenever he was doing it especially that
00:02:46
character and then sometimes he's Andy
00:02:48
Kaufman who if people don't know is just
00:02:49
sort of quiet more demure right yeah
00:02:51
that was a more manageable thing that
00:02:54
that yeah it was interesting I mean it
00:02:55
was it was fun it was challenging you
00:02:58
know but it was uh got talked about
00:03:00
yeah for sure it did
