Comedian/actor Bob Rubin appears as a mafioso named Gorgeous George in “The Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day.”
Without giving away too much, we can say that good ole George gets the crap embarrassed out of him by the brothers in the flick.
We saw the movie, but it doesn’t officially realize until October 30, so take some time to get to know Rubin.
BLAST: So Bob, tell us a little about yourself. I see a mix of film, tv, writing and comedy in your background.
BOB RUBIN: Everyone knows that as a baby, I was abandoned in the woods and raised at the end of a stick by a pack of wild corndogs. After years of
battling condiment addiction, I pulled myself together, started stand up and in only 26 years I made it to an obscure, cult hit status.
That’s 26 years of maximun R&B (rambles and babbles). The rest of the story is at Rubetime.com.
BLAST: What is your role in “Boondock Saints II?”
BR: I play Gorgeous George, a pivitol character in the storyline of “BDSll,” and another awsomely memorable character created by Troy Duffy.
BLAST: Tell us about “Gorgeous George” — what went into that character?
BR: To prepare for the role, I spent a week watching “The Sound of Music” over and over. When that didn’t work, I conjured up the spirit of Otto Preminger who told me to fatten up on Chubby Chug Bacon Beer.
BLAST: How did you get involved in Boondock Saints II?
BR: I was walking down the midway at a carnival when Troy hit me in the head with a sledge hammer on his backswing during a try at the
strength skill game, ring the bell. I was in a coma for a week. When I came to I was okay, except I lost all my 4’s, which screwed up a lot of my phone numbers and some uncashed checks I had. Anyhow, Troy felt so bad he put me in his movie.
BLAST: Any plans to come to Boston?
BR: Oh hell yes. I love Boston. Great town and it’s been way too long since I’ve been there. Don’t know when, but I’ll see ya there soon.
Enjoy the movie, it kicks ass.
Catch Bob Rubin in “The Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day” in theaters October 30.
