Was talking about Puffer's amazing Dave Foley avatar, which led me to think about one of my favorite comedies of all time, The Wrong Guy (1997), which led me to this recent-ish fantastic article/interview with Foley et al. from the film. If you haven't seen this and like smart stupid comedies, try to track a copy down! (Mine is on VHS, I really have no clue if it even exists on DVD, streaming, etc.)
Screen SlateYou Take Your Comedy Seriously: The Wrong Guy’s Dave Foley, David Anthony Higgins, and Jay KogenTonight New Yorkers get the rare chance to catch the 1997 comedy The Wrong Guy on the big screen at Museum of the Moving Image, co-presented with Hollywood Entertainment.
