You’re Killing Me, Smalls! Patrick Renna Returns To The Dugout
About this episode
Patrick Renna shares BTS stories from The Sandlot including how he landed Ham Porter as one of his very first acting jobs, the original version of “You’re Killing Me, Smalls,” the scene that was rewritten for him the night before filming, sneaking into Basic Instinct with the cast, and why The Sandlot exploded on VHS and still connects with generations of fans. He reveals how his new YouTube comedy series Dugout Dads (which premieres TODAY 8/26) reunites much of the Sandlot cast as over-the-top Little League coaches, why it’s intentionally NOT a Sandlot sequel, how Danielle Fishel became his onscreen wife, and how he got Michael Peña and The Office’s Creed Bratton to do cameos. Patrick also talks The Big Green, working with Steve Guttenberg, his memorable “Bad Blood” episode of The X-Files with Luke Wilson, David Duchovny and Vince Gilligan, and why Ham’s future as pro wrestler The Great Hambino might have been perfect after all.
