Sebastian Maniscalco is currently one of the most famous comedians in the world – why hasn’t he actually featured himself doing any stand-up comedy in his new movie About my father?
After all, About my father It is loosely based on Maniscalco’s life and the culture clash that occurs when his Italian immigrant father meets his fiancée’s parents. The film’s marketing was unabashed when it called Maniscalco “America’s Best Comedian,” but the story “About My Father” gives Sebastian the new career background of a successful hotel general manager, who arouses the affections of a super-rich woman. His name is Eli (Leslie Bibb).
With a tradition of comics incorporating their stage personalities into their dramatic on-screen projects, Sebastian Maniscalco could easily parade his fame on the big screen. So why don’t we do that?
“I never thought about it. Standing didn’t have a story here; the story was the relationship between my wife and I, and being a hotel general manager is what I would have done if I hadn’t been.” That’s where that came from, but I didn’t see standing as an integral part. from the movie. What you did for a living didn’t really matter. I would talk more about the relationship with my father, and I would meet my wife’s family.
To be fair, it’s clear from the trailers that “About My Dad” Sebastian Maniscalco will put in a lot of funny work – just to keep up with his on-screen dad, Robert De Niro. With that challenge on the table, as well as his biggest leading role in a movie vehicle for himself, it’s entirely fair that Maniscalco didn’t add writing a tight five to his to-do list.
