Inspiring The Weather Man: Steve did not participate in that
Producer Todd Black talks up his house screenwriter Steve Conrad to SF Chronicle's Hugh Hart, articulating the depths of The Weather Man, the first of three Conrad-Black movies out of the chute. "Steve was with a bunch of friends and his brother in Fort Lauderdale and there was a local weatherman walking across the street... A couple of kids in the car said, 'Let's throw a drink at this guy and keep on driving.' They thought it was funny.
Steve did not participate in that, but he found the image of a weatherman being hit with liquid very funny and always remembered that. Steve likes to think of pain and humor as being one and the same thing."
