I was bored this evening (how unusual…) and decided to look up an old friend of mine, Samm Levine. I had the good fortune of working on three episodes of one of the greatest television series of all time, Freaks and Geeks. Samm played Neal which is a role I had actually read for initially, but can wholeheartedly agree received much better casting with Samm. Samm (who had to add the extra M since SAG already had a Sam Levine, much like Michael J Fox who has no middle name) is, without question, one of the funniest people I’ve ever worked with, and a genuinely nice guy. I worked directly with him on the show and have run into him quite a few times since, and he’s always great to talk to and endlessly entertaining. He’s heavily involved in comedy, and is even the youngest member of the New York Friars Club. He is also quite short which he has managed to make extremely useful.

So in my searching, I came across the following short film (and the pun is very much intended). It stars Samm as well as Seth MacFarlane (yes, of Family Guy fame), as well as several other talented actors. I thought it was extremely funny, and I had to share it with you. You, of course, being my imaginary loyal audience. That’s right, you know who you are, or at least would if a figment of my imagination could have cognitive thought. So enjoy:
