Abstract

The musically inept Lone Rangers - Steve Buscemi was the bassist - would soon be in high demand in Hollywood, but Sandler reveals in our conversation that he had to fight to get Fraser cast as singer Chazz Darby. SANDLER: I eventually went to his house at like 4 in the morning, woke him up, and I said, "Just know Adam Sandler ain't going to be in "Airheads" unless old Fraser is in it." - Hustle (NETFLIX) - The Whale (A24) Brendan Fraser and Adam Sandlerfirst jammed together in the 1994 comedy "Airheads", playing two members of a band so desperate to make it big that they hijack a radio station. "You crushed me", says Sandler of Fraser's comeback role as a 600-pound English teacher in Darren Aronofsky's "The Whale.". [Extracted from the article]
