Thirty years ago, Abdul won her first Grammy for "Opposites Attract," but the groundbreaking video almost never got made at all.
Malco shares memories from his breakout film "The 40-Year-Old Virgin" as the beloved comedy turns 15.
“We decided to make it funny but also make it emotionally very credible,” the director says. “This is what someone might feel like if they were in that position.”
The actor explains how his new comedy relates to the George Floyds of the world, reveals bias he's faced in Hollywood.
A group of men journey to a beach in Belize to reunite with an old buddy. Mad Dogs is a buddy-adventure show, based on a successful BBC series of the same name—over in Britain, the title is part of a common phrase from a Noel Coward song from the 1930s: “Mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the midday sun.” The guys in the American version of Mad Dogs, developed by British originator Chris Cole and The Shield’s Shawn Ryan, are forced by circumstances to spend a lot of time in the baking-hot midday sun once one of them dies, a satchel of drug money is found, the Belize police force starts sniffing around, and they’re pursued by… who? The opening hour plays out like a second-rate David Mamet play, with the show’s stars—Billy Zane (who plays the wealthy host), Michael Imperioli (The Sopranos), Steve Zahn (Treme) , Romany Malco (The 40 Year-Old Virgin, Weeds), and Ben Chaplin (The Thin Red Line)—busting on each other in ways that turn good-natured kidding into mean digs at each other’s weaknesses.
