He's gonna f--king kill him!’” Kevin Corrigan explained. “When I asked Joe to be in the film, he didn't want to do it. We went up to my apartment, and he said, ‘Let me tell you a couple of stories. If you could find a place for this sort of thing, then I think we could make it special,’” Martin revealed.
