I understood it was a comedy which worked for about 50 % the motion picture until finally Alan Medder, who was directing, it literally pulled me into his trailer and reported, ‘Hey guy, you’re looking through also amusing. Where’s the Johnny from Karate Kid?’ I’m like, ‘Yeah, he’s in The Karate Child, dude. I want to do a little something various.’ I tried out to have enjoyment with him, I enjoy Chas Osborne.”
