And Terry “ Weekend at Bernie’s Bernie” Kiser goes for broke as the lascivious mad scientist who somehow thinks his dinosaur will lead to immortality.īut it’s Theo Forsett as Tammy’s gay friend Byron who gives a performance that would make Billy Porter proud. Paul Walker, in one of his first film roles, just effortlessly charms with his goofy smile.
