    There's a funny story about filming the first Hangover film like that. The leads ran into him at a bar the night before they were to shoot their scenes together, and Tyson had no idea who they were and didn't seem to remember he was to be filming the next day. But hey, he showed up on set the next day, was hilarious in the movie, and everyone liked working with him (there seems to be universal praise for him in the film industry as being great to work with).

    And sadly, both Tom Petty and Brittany Murphy, the actress who voiced Luanne, are now deceased :(
