Jim Piddock is Caught With His Pants Down

Published: May 12, 2022, 4 a.m.

How does one become one of the greatest character actors of all time? Jim Piddock shares his journey to success.

Jim Piddock is an actor, writer, and producer. He made his theatrical debut in the U.S. in \u201cThe Boy\u2019s Own Story\u201d, a one-man show about a soccer goalkeeper, at the Julian Theatre in San Francisco.\xa0

He appeared in his first movie in the top-grossing film of 1989, \u201cLethal Weapon 2\u201d, in which one of his lines, \u201cBut\u2026you\u2019re black\u201d in answer to Danny Glover\u2019s request to emigrate to South Africa, became a catchphrase for the film. But it is probably his diverse performances in the improvised Christopher Guest comedies \u201cBest In Show\u201d (as the Dog Show commentator with Fred Willard), \u201cA Mighty Wind\u201d, and \u201cFor Your Consideration\u201d that he has gained the most attention as a chameleon-like character actor, barely recognizable from role to role.

Jim and discuss Lethal Weapon 2, his guest spot on Friends, working with George C. Scott, writing with Christopher Guest and so much more!

We also discuss Jim's book, Caught With My Pants Down. A must read!
