You're going to do. Oh, Hello everyone and welcome to the Tobolaski files a series of stories about life

love and the entertainment industry as told by character actor Stephen Tobolaski

my name is David Chen I'm the managing editor of slash film.com and the host of the slash

film podcast and joining me today as always he is the man who played Tom Abernathy in

Miss Congeniality 2, Armed and Fabulous, Stephen Tobolaski.

Oh, that's fabulous.

That's great.

You know, in that particular show I was not originally Tom Abernathy.

Oh really? What was your original role in Miss Congeniality too?

Yeah, I was I was not I was not in the movie at all.

Jeffrey Tambor played Tombore,

played Tom Abernathy,

and they wanted to do reshoots of that movie,

and Jeff did not want to do the

reshoots so they had to recast the entire role. So they they brought me in

and they pulled an Oliver Reed on me in that they used my face and on some of the long shots

they had already shot with Jeff they see gied my face onto his body.

So there is a hybrid vehicle operating in that movie

that I think a lot of people may not be aware of.

Well, Jeffrey Tambor's loss is your and our gain.

I did get to meet Sandra Bullock, who is an extraordinary individual.

We could talk about her some other time.
