Fused Film reader Will sent this to me on Facebook but the link sent me goes to the homepage of Bill Chott.
“Big news first. I may have my foot in the door again on the Farrelly Bros. Three Stooges“ How?” you ask.“Oh, and Indian!” I respond…Here’s the scoop. Jim Carrey was cast as Curly in the film but he bowed out. Maybe being bald and fat isn’t his thing. But I’ve been settling into this role for a long time. After shooting the Ringer with The Farrelly Bros. I told them that I was VERY interested in playing the role of Curly. Pete Farrelly sent me a bunch of Curly tapes and DVD’s to study. I put together an audition which you can see by clicking HERE. Pete and Bobby Farrelly already think the world of me and Pete even called to let me know that I was at the top of their list and they hadn’t read anyone else besides Jim Carrey for the role.” film.”
