 Andy Dick
Spotlight By: Michael Dance "I jumped on my mini trampoline for about forty-five minutes, and I'm feeling great," Andy Dick tells TheCinemaSource at the beginning of our interview. "I'm in a really good phase in my life right now - that's how I get ready for my day in general. I do a lot of really weird health things that people probably don't think are natural or normal. Like, I start with a dry-brushing. It's called a dry-brush massage. You take this horse hair brush and you brush yourself and you have to go in the same direction that your lymphatic section drains. Doing that for five minutes is almost like you've worked out for half an hour." Dick then jumps into a long discussion about the body's lymphatic system, followed by an explanation of a homemade health shake he's drinking. "This shake. It's the most nutritionally comprehensive shake, that I created. It has everything you could ever want. From fish oil to blue-green algae -- it looks like you're drinking swamp water, and yet it tastes like a dark chocolate bar." Forgive the actor for seeming offbeat - he's had a remarkably strange trip through Hollywood over his nearly twenty-year career. Thanks to persistent problems with drug use, notably a 1999 under-the-influence car accident, and some odd public behavior - his appearance in Comedy Central's Roast of William Shatner consisted of licking the faces of Farrah Fawcett and Carrie Fisher - might make it easy for him to be the butt of Hollywood jokes. The reality, however, is that Dick has been getting steady work for years, with two years-long TV shows - Newsradio and Less Than Perfect - under his belt, as well as supporting roles in movies like Employee of the Month and Road Trip. He got his big comedic break on the short-lived Ben Stiller Show, and still counts Stiller as a friend - in fact, he was able to get him to do a cameo appearance in Danny Roane: First Time Director, which Dick wrote, directed, and stars in. It's just now out on DVD. "Everybody did it as a favor, and everybody was so gracious. From Jack Black to Ben Stiller, Bob Odenkirk -- I know I wanted to have the Jacks and the Bens to pull in the audience, but my favorites were the Bob Odenkirks, the Kevin Farleys - you know, that's Chris Farley's brother. Those people, the Jamie Browns, and that big 400-pound guy, Paul Henderson, a good friend of mine, those were like my golden nuggets of comedy, my untapped comedy gold vane, if you will. They were there every day - Ben would pop in, and we were done with him in an hour. Jack Black, he was there probably three hours. In and out." The film is about a down-and-out television actor who gets blackballed from the |
