This is one of my favorite scene from the movie Man On The Moon, in which Jim Carrey attempts to portray the life of comedian Andy Kaufman. Andy Kaufman acted as a strange, funny character named "Latka Gravas" on a TV show called "Taxi".
I DO NOT OWN THIS.

I just love the fact that they got as many of the actual cast members to play the characters again on a rebuilt set. You NEVER get to see that in other biopics. I wonder if Marilu Henner remembered her lines from the episodes they were re-enacting, given her eidetic memory.

@joshuaplotkin8826 2 ай бұрын

He actually invented Latka. It was originally part of his stand up routine. The producers of Taxi liked it so much they wanted him to do it on the show. But Andy was an artist and artists don't like doing the same thing for too long. If he had known he would be doing that same routine for six years he probably would have said no. I don't know this for a fact, but I think he came to regret ever creating that character.

Tony Danza and Andy Kaufman were actually friends. Actually, all of the Taxi cast liked Andy. Not so much at first, but they just warmed up to him and accepted his eccentricities. Tony Danza was actually on another project when they were filming Man On The Moon. And, Andy actually didn’t mind being on Taxi. He actually liked his cast mates. His only problem was he would get bored playing the same role. That’s why they invented Vic Ferrari.
