From what I've heard and seen , it seems as if Dice has changed his name from Andrew 'Dice' Clay to Andrew Clay Silverstein as he is credited in his new movie. Anyone know the reason for this?

quote:

Andrew Dice Clay(born Andrew Clay Silverstein) was born in Brooklyn in 1957


that is just his real name. I don't really know why he is being credited eith his real name...

quote:

Release Date: April 27th, 2001 (pushed back two weeks from April 13th, 2001; originally scheduled for the fall of 2000; then February, 2001; and then March 16th, 2001)

MPAA Rating: R (for violence, sexuality, and language)

Distributor: USA Films (as the first film of a production deal with Further Films, which is Michael Douglas' production company)

Cast: Liv Tyler (Jewel Valentine), Matt Dillon (Randy), Michael Douglas (Mr. Burmeister), John Goodman (Det. Dehling), Paul Reiser (Carl Lumpke), Richard Jenkins, Reba McEntire (psychiatrist), Leo Rossi, Eric Schaeffer, Andrew "Clay" Silverstein (Utah/Elmo), Andrea Bendewald, Ric Sarabia

Director: Harald Zwart (U.S. debut of the director of the 1998 Swedish film, Hamilton; his next film will be Wolff & Byrd)

Screenwriter: Stan Seidel (debut)

Premise: Three men (Dillon, Goodman, Reiser) tell their stories of how they love the same young woman (Tyler), all around the setting of a bar called McCool's in a single night. (see preview site linked below for additional detail).

Filming: Production on this movie took place in and around Los Angeles from August 16th to early November, 1999.

Genres: Comedy, Romance

Preview: Preview Online (Three full pages of detail, interviews, commentary... this site's previews are a treat; and so is this one).

Official Site: OneNightatMcCools.com

Greg's Preview Thoughts: This movie got most press of its press (so far) because it was the project that Liv Tyler was working on in L.A. before she flew down to Australia for her role in the more publicized (at least online) project, Lord of the Rings. It's also worth noting that this is the first movie project that Paul Reiser is doing after his many years on Mad About You, as he embarks upon a new post-TV movie career.

I thought he only used his real name as a credit for non-Dice stuff? (Like all those highly successful B-movies he's been in)

Too bad for him - maybe he's only got like one line in the movie.

On a side note, Ms. Tyler was on Conan last night - she's a real cutie! I never really noticed her before.

Dice said he did it to give the role more credibility. Dice is a character. In the movie Andrew Silverstein plays another character. Something like that.

It's only a bit part as far as I've heard.

Seriously all, would you want to go see a movie with "Andrew Dice Clay?" Probably in his contract to use his real name, so as not to make the movie a complete bomb.

(Btw, newsday gave the movie just one star ... another potentially funny movie that's gonna wind up in the bargain bin at Blockbuster)

Dice should start by changing his act, not his name.

I stand alone on the cliffs of the world,
no-one ever tends to me.
Sitting alone covered in breeze.
Some things are so my mind can breathe.

The waiting is hard, fuckin' takes so long.
Draped in sun, hands in sand.
Earth acid cleanses me.
It cleanses me clean, but the world it never comes(Kyuss, Space Cadet)

Because he had no career in 1999 when the movie was made. His popularity was resurected when he hooked up with O&A in 2000 as the Dice Man.

From the adverts on tv, it seems Dice is Liv's boyfriend and she shoots him. Sounds like a good movie. Actually I love Dice, he's a great guy. Very funny.

"One Night at McCool's" is apparently an awful movie but this Salon review gives Dice props:
Visit this Website

Here's the relevant bit because it's too funny:
"The best work comes from three of the supporting players [....] and Andrew "Dice" Clay (billed here under his real name of Andrew Silverstein), who's let down by the filmmakers in his final appearance but who, in his first scenes, as Jewel's ex-con boyfriend, a biker muscleman in studded leather, knows how to make a loudmouth tough guy funny without hogging the spotlight. But then I've never seen Clay not funny when he's taken on a character role."

The reason Andrew used Silverstein instead of Dice Clay was a studio decision. Hollywood, as you know, is run by douche bags who are terrified of being politically incorrect. They figured Clay Silverstein would not upset certain people as the name Dice would. Fucking babies, they should all have a warm glass of AIDS thrown on them. Andrew, on the other hand, didn't give a shit what name the studio used.
