While the actor has been working steadily both before and after this 90s FOX show I loved (I got yelled at by a lot of Stargate fans for not bringing up that show), I bother Corin about "Parker Lewis," hanging with "Terry," and being inspired by "The Goonies."  We also talk about his two latest films, "Place of Bones" and "I Feel Fine."

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Scott Vordiez.

Speaker 2 (00:01):
In addition to last night's KFAB winners only screenings of
the new film Reagan starring Dennis Quaid and my anticipation
for Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, which comes out next week, we are
also and a great spot here between this weekend is
between new Koran Nemic movies. Place of Bones came out

(00:25):
last weekend starring Koran Nemic with Heather Graham and Tom Hopper,
and next weekend is a new movie called I Feel
Fine starring Koran Nemic and Elijah Passmore as a character
named Ozzie Taylor who's described as a charismatic high school kid.
I have a feeling our guest on the phone knows

(00:46):
a thing or two about that, because he was the
most charismatic high school kid for those early nineties years
on that brand new Fox Network thing as part of
a show Parker Lewis Can't Lose.

Speaker 1 (01:00):
Jem you see my new geens. I have a date tonight.

Speaker 2 (01:05):
That's impossible. Parker Lewis can't lose, And for several seasons,
korn Nemick was Parker Lewis on that fantastic early nineties
show We Welcome them onto the program now, Cooran, Welcome
to news radio eleven to ten kfab. Good morning, Good morning.

Speaker 1 (01:25):
Sir, Good morning Nebraska, Good morning, Omah, Good morning world.

Speaker 2 (01:31):
I can give you a list of all of our
suburbs and everything if you want to make sure. Actually
we have so few listeners on this show, I can
give you their individual names and you can say good
morning to each of them individually. If you want.

Speaker 1 (01:44):
Perfect, just put them over.

Speaker 2 (01:47):
Have we decided whether Parker Lewis could lose to Batman?

Speaker 1 (01:53):
Well, you know, being the title of the Parker Lewis
can't lose, assuming that means in anything.

Speaker 2 (02:03):
That's that's at least of the debate.

Speaker 1 (02:06):
Play the lottery, he would win the lottery.

Speaker 2 (02:10):
You know what I missed that episode where Parker Lewis
was suddenly addicted to winning on gambling and lottery games.

Speaker 1 (02:21):
Well that was that was That was fourth season, this season,
it never was.

Speaker 2 (02:25):
Let's let's talk a little bit about that TV show
because you and I are of the same vintage. In fact,
our birth dates are just a few years off in years,
but only one day off in days. That was the
first thing I noticed on your biography. You're November fifth
on November fourth, So Happy Scorpio to you. This show

(02:48):
was an unlikely hit show. The network's ABC NBCCBS. Ill said, eh,
and so there was this fairly new thing called Fox
and they're like, yeah, we'll put it on. We're looking
for anything right now. So from your vantage point, what
was it like to be like, all right, you're gonna
star on this TV show on Fox? What's the Fox network?

(03:10):
The Simpsons? Right, and then suddenly have a hit series
on your hands as at a pretty young age. Yeah,
you know.

Speaker 1 (03:20):
I was surprised actually that originally the show, I thought
the show was a half hour sitcom and I had
turned it down. I had no interest in doing sitcom
after a terrible experience doing a season of Webster, and
so when they explained to me that it wasn't that

(03:40):
it was going to be like the show three o'clock High,
that it was going to be one camera shot like
a film, very interesting. I was extremely excited about it,
and it turned out to be one of the one
of the toughest shoots I've ever done in my life
in terms of man hours and how much time I
was on that, but also one of the funnest.

Speaker 2 (04:02):
It was so much fun to watch, and that was
just looking at your shirts and hair. Let's go back
a second, though, Was Emmanuel Lewis mean to you?

Speaker 1 (04:13):
No, Manny was great, great guy, everybody. The only people
that weren't pleasant was Man and George. That's all that
Man and George were. Were not the nicest people. They
didn't like each other, and they didn't like other people
very much either.

Speaker 2 (04:28):
So Alex car.

Speaker 1 (04:31):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, they just made it very uncomfortable. Well,
they didn't get along. You know, they used to be
married and they got divorced while the show was still going,
and they were still playing a married couple on the show,
and they hated each other. So it made it made
the you know, it made it very uncomfortable to work around.

Speaker 2 (04:48):
You know, when I woke up this morning, I had
a feeling I was going to break some forty year
old news about the TV series Webster that I'd never
heard before. And here and here we are. I love
it when my dreams come true. You actually decide, according
to stuff I've read online, which is always true, you
decided that you wanted to do what those other kids do.

(05:09):
You want to be an actor. And it has to
do with one of the greatest movies of all time,
the Goonies. Is that true?

Speaker 1 (05:16):
Yeah, that is true. My dad was the assistant art
director on Goonies and he had he had really hyped
me up on what an incredible movie it was going
to be, and and so I had. My mom was
in the was in the theater and music business as
a graphic designer. My dad was in the film and
TV business as as a set designer, production designer. So

(05:37):
I was really familiar with with the entertainment business behind
the scenes, but didn't. I was more drawn towards the
artistic side, like my dad and mom, the graphic design,
the drawing and all of that and uh. And it
wasn't until the movie Goonies came out that the idea
of becoming an actor hit me, you know. And that's

(05:59):
because I understood what it to make the movie, and
I understood the work that went into it. But it
was just so profound, What what a fantastic story it
was that these kids got to pretend to live through.
And it sold me. So I started pursuing it post takes.

Speaker 2 (06:15):
Is there a scene from Goonies that you want to
reenact for us right now? A speech, a line, a
phrase or something like had you been one of those kids,
you would have said that.

Speaker 1 (06:26):
Here I'll do I'll reenact the truffle shuffle for you.

Speaker 2 (06:35):
All right, you can come inside the house. Hope it
wasn't depositive on you know. For me, I wanted to
be the girl who gets her bike stolen from Josh
Brolin and just says, I want my bike, I want
my bike. That's my favorite line in that movie.

Speaker 1 (06:51):
Her Feet.

Speaker 2 (06:52):
Yes, yeah, I tend to gravitate towards the deep cuts
for our movie references here on this program. So Bean,
like a kid of the eighties, Hulk Hogan was at
your wedding. How are you even at all able to
pay attention to your wife?

Speaker 1 (07:11):
That was due life is the most wonderful fature that's
ever been created.

Speaker 2 (07:15):
Well, so I started off with your phone. Your phone
cut out there? That was that was what oh I said.

Speaker 1 (07:20):
I said, that was the easiest bar was was paying
attention to my wife because she's the most wonderful, beautiful
creature ever created. Man. And uh, yeah, her, my wife
and his wife are are have been close friends for many,
many many years. And uh and so that's how that
that connection came about. He's a He's a great guy.

(07:42):
Terry's a great guy.

Speaker 2 (07:42):
I was.

Speaker 1 (07:43):
I was very excited to have him at the wedding.
I mean, no one would have known I got married
had he not been there.

Speaker 2 (07:48):
Yeah, you get to call him Terry.

Speaker 1 (07:53):
Uh, well that's what I do call him. I think
it'd be weird if I called him the Holkster.

Speaker 2 (07:56):
But uh, did you have him do a best man's
speech and rip his shirt off like you did at
the Republican National Convention, which I imagine was the same
speech he gave to you.

Speaker 1 (08:08):
I wish he had ripped his shirt off, but he
did give a great, wonderful little speech which I really appreciated.
It was lovely. He said that I was the man,
and I'll take that.

Speaker 2 (08:24):
Did he call you brother?

Speaker 1 (08:26):
Of course?

Speaker 2 (08:27):
A dream come true? Talking here with Korn Nevick, one
more question here about Parker Lewis, which I started to
ask and we got diverted. But when I mean, you
get your show on the Fox network, and it hadn't
yet been this cultural phenomenon that it would be in
a relatively short amount of time between Parker Lewis, can't
lose The Simpsons, Beverly Hills nine two one zero all

(08:50):
Arsenio Hall. All we did in the nineties was watch
Fox and occasionally flip over and watch EMTV raps. So
when you went from all right, you're gonna be you
have the show picked up on this Fox network, You're like,
isn't that a UF station to suddenly a cultural phenomenon.
What was that like for you? Did you get a
big head? Were you like demanding that hotel rooms paint

(09:13):
the room because you didn't like the color of the walls.
I mean, did you go crazy or what?

Speaker 1 (09:18):
No? No, no, no, no, not even close. I mean fortunately,
I started acting, you know, years before that, so it
wasn't like it was my first experience with a little
bit of fame. I'd gotten the Emmy nomination for I know,
my first name is Steven, and I had done the
big TV pilot show with Eddie Murphy Productions and some

(09:39):
other stuff, you know, and obviously I've been on Webster
for that one year. But you know, for me, it
was a job I was I was more interested in
in in getting together with my friends and painting on
the weekends and stuff. You know. I was really been
into graffiti or my whole life, and I never really
stopped hanging out with my graffiti buddies, you know, so

(10:02):
they kept me grounded.

Speaker 2 (10:04):
Making out with Milla jose Jovovich. Tough job, man, tough job.

Speaker 1 (10:09):
Well, we went to we went to high school together,
for real.

Speaker 2 (10:13):
That was some amazing acting on your your part to
act like you enjoyed making out with Milla Jovovich. All right,
speaking of acting, Place of Bones out last weekend, Tell
me about this film.

Speaker 1 (10:29):
Yeah, Place of Bones. It's just it's a wonderful script.
Richard Taylor, a great writer, wrote it. Audrey Cummings, a
director out of Toronto, directed it. And and we obviously
has Heather Graham and Tom Hopper in it, and both
of them are fantastic. But it's got a great cast
ancillary cast cowboys. Sharone is in it. The Seroni Uh,

(10:51):
he does great in it. And uh. But it's a
mix of genres. It's a it's it's got your classic Western,
but it has an element of being a thriller. And
then it's got a sixth sense twist to it in
the end that leads it kind of in a different
direction than you're expecting. I don't want to give it
away because everybody really should watch it because it's the

(11:12):
it's the twist that that changes the whole experience of
what it is that you've been watching. And so it's
got a great you know, Western horror, thriller, action, It's
it's a little bit of everything, but it's so artfully written.
I like to say that it's like Hateful eight meets
Misery and six sense.

Speaker 2 (11:32):
Oh, that's a that that hooks me right there. I
love all those movies. Next week, that's what it is,
next weekend, Go ahead, Yeah, those three movies, Yeah, come
together perfectly in place of Bones. Now that's out. Now
next weekend, you're competing against yourself and Michael Keaton at

(11:53):
the box office with a film called I Feel Fine.
As I mentioned earlier, the main character is a charismatic
high school kid. So I mean, were you basically in
there to teach Elijah Passmore how to be that kid?

Speaker 1 (12:09):
No, Elijah did a full plastic job. He had a
really he had a very very difficult role on his
shoulders for a young actor with a lot of nuance,
you know, a lot of having to play against the
emotion and not obvious acting. You know, there's a lot
happening for this kid underneath the surface. That is, you know,

(12:32):
not easy for any actor to play really, but you know,
it was a difficult story for me too, because I
mean I have a kid his age, my son, you know,
and having you know, I never had a problem with
my son in that respect where my son had suicidal
tendencies or anything. But it just is such a heartbreaking

(12:56):
scenario to imagine losing you know, your child at a
young age like that. Women seems to be something that
should have been solvable, you know. So it's it's a
very difficult movie to watch. But I know that the
story is based on a true story and it is

(13:17):
relative to the experiences that people are having today obviously,
and it's a tough movie to watch though, A tough
movie to watch.

Speaker 2 (13:26):
Yeah, I Feel Fine is the name of this film.
It's out next weekend, place of Bones in theaters now,
both starring Korn Nemick of Parker Lewis, Can't Lose Fame
and I Love Thank you very much for letting me
ask my typical dumb questions as a fellow, you know,
gen Xer about that TV show and that part of
your life here In addition to experiencing this, this next realm.

(13:48):
You've been working steadily in a lot of different ways
over the years. I could talk to you for hours
about everything from Charlton Heston and Peter Boyle working with
those guys, or the work you've done with the great
Paul Mooney. We'll have to leave that for another day. Corn, Hey, great.

Speaker 1 (14:05):
I would love you. Man. You got my phone number.
You can call me anytime.

Speaker 2 (14:08):

We will talk again. Thank you very much for the
time today. It was great talking to you.

Speaker 1 (14:16):
You bet my man. Cheers and God bless Oh.

Speaker 2 (14:21):
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait wait, one more thing I
almost forgot. We ask our favorite guests on this program
to say a line for us that we feel is
the best thing to hear first thing in the morning.
Would you do us the honor? The line is, good morning, honey.
I made you pancakes for breakfast, and you can do
with that whatever you want.

Speaker 1 (14:42):
Hey, good morning, honey. Guess what I made you pancakes
for breakfast?

Speaker 2 (14:54):
That was That was both delightful and a little terrifying.
