They'd been burned on some Saturday Night Live movies that had come from Lorne, so they didn't want many Saturday Night Live actors in Mean Girls, because then it might feel like an SNL movie and people might shy away from it." "It's weird, but Paramount had a nervousness about Saturday Night Live. It's especially interesting when you consider that, according to Waters, initially Paramount (the film's studio) didn't want any SNL folks in the film.

"Amy definitely coached him on how to do the rap, and she actually gave him some of the moves and choreography for it," Waters explained. Because Amy Poehler has proven herself time and time again to be the sort of women many of us ladies aspire to be: inspiring, awesome, smart, thoughtful, kind, hilarious, giving, generous, brilliant, clever, absolutely hilarious, and secretly really adept at rapping.
"She'll actually give credit to Amy for this, because Amy is more of the rap person," said Waters.īecause of course. everyone's other lady hero Tina Fey - handed the reins over to Poehler when it came time for mathlete Kevin Gnapoor to spit some rhymes. In an interview with Vulture, Waters revealed the tidbit, stating that the screenplay's author - a.k.a. Uuughhhh Amy Poehler you goddamn gift to comedy, you. Where are you? What’s your next movie? It’s this right here Woody.Some days, even the staunchest Amy Poehler obsessives look around at each other, exhausted, and think: "She couldn't possibly reveal another reason for us to love her, could she?" Adding onto the unending pile today was Mean Girls director Mark Waters who revealed that, of course, it was Poehler who created Kevin G's memorable rap from the talent show scene. I think it would be so ironic if the role that I ended up playing was myself. Well, people are looking at the book, considering turning it into a movie and I would love for that to happen.

So I run a calligraphy business out of New York called Letters In Ink, I’m now an author and I still continue to audition for tv shows and movies. So I was doing to chalkboard menus at restaurants and cafes in Toronto and it kind of became a thing. I had come back to Toronto a couple of times and I had very casually started this calligraphy business. If you’re willing to take chances amazing things can happen. I really learned that you really shouldn’t let the fear of failure stand in your way. It allowed me to kind of mourn the loss of this big dream that I had. Running away was actually kind of the best thing for me. I moved to Munich and I became a nanny for two little kids. So I actually ended up running away from home. So I was kind of crushed when I found out someone else was cast. And then a few months later, after this six-year journey, I found out that Ang Lee, the final director, didn’t want an actor. This was something that was to continue for 6 years. A ll the while I continued researching for this part. The adaptation of the book went through 5 different directors. I wanted to perfect that South Indian accent. And I learned how to walk like those Indian kids.
I enrolled in the boy's school that Pi attends, this little seminary called Petit Seminaire. I flew to South India where the book takes place. And I made it my mission to land that part. On the set of "Mean Girls," the cameraman had read a book and he came up to me one day and was like,"You’re the lead character in this book I just finished."Ĭause here, finally, was that lead role that wasn’t playing the stereotypical, nerdy Indian kid. And I felt like Tina Fey had written this accurate depiction of what it meant to be a first-generation Indian guy in North America. This rapping math guy that didn’t have an Indian accent and bobble his head. When I auditioned for "Mean Girls," I was at this point in my life as an actor where I was so frustrated with the stereotype. And it still surprises me that 14-year-olds come up to me and say,"Oh my God! You’re Kevin G." It’s going straight to DVD." Then "Mean Girls" came out and it became this big thing and I was shocked. It’s called 'Mean Girls' and it’s starring Lindsay Lohan. She had worked on some pretty big movies and she was like, "Oh please. I remember sitting in the hair and makeup chair one morning and asking the hair stylist how she thought it would do. And Lindsay, at that point, wasn’t a huge star. The only sort of big name on set was Lindsay. "Mean Girls" was a lot of fun to shoot because no one on set was a big star.
‘Cuz the next time you see her, she be like,'Ohhh! Kevin G!'" The G is silent when I sneak in your doorĪnd make love to your woman on the bathroom floor.
