Comedian was a 2002 American documentary about the art, business, and emotions of stand-up comedy. One thread follows Jerry Seinfeld as he prepares to go back on the road with new material subsequent to the end of his TV show. The other thread follows impossibly arrogant up-and-comer Orny Adams as he tries to become the next Seinfeld. In this clip, Orny travels to Montreal and learns that exposure in the National Post doesn’t quite mean what he thought it did.
THIS MOVIE ROCKS, says my actor friend whose name we’ve misspelled: The first quote that appears in the trailer for Canuck indie Only is attributed to one “Greg Byrk” of the “IMDB.” As the IMDb doesn’t employ critics, a quick trip to the site confirms that the line was extracted from an effusive user comment by thebrykhouse, whose only other remark corroborates his identity as Greg Bryk (not “Byrk”), an actor who, according to Wikipedia, is “best known for playing the role of Mallick in Saw V.”
You’d think they’d know how to spell his name correctly, though, given that Bryk starred alongside Only co-director/co-writer/co-producer Ingrid Veninger in a 2005 sci-fi flick.
