This bit from lead actor Corin Nemec's wikipedia page is so surreal that i feel like @depthsofwikipedia.bsky.social needs to see it - you can add 'trying to steal the spotlight at someone else's wedding' to Hulk Hogan's long list of shitty behavior
On September 22, 2022, the Tampa Bay Times reported Corin was moving to the Tampa Bay area to begin production on a series of independent films with Scatter Brothers Productions, and met his girlfriend Sabrina Nova Tropf on set. Nemec and Tropf were married in July 2023 in St. Petersburg, Florida. Former pro wrestler, actor and media personality Hulk Hogan attended the wedding, where he proposed to his girlfriend (the bride's best friend) Sky Daily.

I remember watching Jetsons: The Movie a few times as a kid, but I had no idea I was hearing the very last words of the guy who played George Jetson
(screenshot from Jetsons Wiki) In the mid-1980s, George O'Hanlon suffered from a stroke, so when he made the later "Jetsons" series and the film, he was practically blind and had very little short-term memory, so he had to have each line spoken to him so he could repeat it back.

A few moments before George O'Hanlon's death, he recorded all of his dialogue for George Jetson. According to voice director Andrea Romano, George had suffered from a second stroke and found it difficult to read and hear, and in the end, he died in the recording studio doing what he loved to do.
