What’s up, buuuuuddddyyy? Ready to wheeze the juice and burn some calories? It seems as though Pauly Shore may be gearing up to play reclusive fitness guru, pop culture personality and David Letterman foil Richard Simmons in an upcoming biopic. Feel free to let that sink in before proceeding…
Ok, rested up? Paul Shore took to social media to confirm that he has indeed spoken to Richard Simmons about the potential for a biopic, further urging his fans to do their part to make sure it gets greenlit. “I’ve noticed all the reactions to me playing Richard Simmons in a new biopic. So I reached out to him. I heard he’s living deep in Big Bear. We’ve been playing phone tag. I’m trying to make it happen for you guys. Be optimistic. In the meantime, hit up Hulu, Amazon, Disney, HBO and all the big producers.

Straight-to-dvd is known as the last stop on the gravy train before the end of a fading star's career. And there's definitely some truth to that. But it can also be a low-risk, high-reward place to restart a career, where you can throw away the stuff that hasn't been working and trying something new. Budgets and stakes may be lower, but so are expectations.
The Dtv landscape is full of untapped opportunities and I give Pauly Shore credit for being one of the first guys I've come across in this column who's clearly taking advantage of that. Completely dismissed by critics (Roger Ebert once compared him to "the cinematic equivalent of long fingernails drawn very slowly and quite loudly over a gigantic blackboard"), reduced to a punchline in the mainstream, the former MTV DJ and movie star has reinvented himself in straight-to-dvd land as "Pauly Shore," the star of self-deprecating...

But Henry Gibson was one of those actors who showed up in, almost literally, everything. From animation to Star Trek to Paul Shore.s Bio-Dome; you name it, he did it in an acting career which spanned more than forty years. His IMDb page is endless, a warehouse of memories, a ticker-tape of roles in which he was, every single time, brilliant.
