IRVINE, Calif., May 6 /PRNewswire/ — Best known for his roles in
Employee of the Month, Dumb & Dumber, Something About Mary, Half Baked, and
Rocketman, the genuinely multi-talented actor, writer, director and comic
Harland Williams, veteran of nearly 30 feature films and countless
television roles and appearances, has signed on with new media and Internet
Television Network, KoldCast TV, to write and produce 21 installments of
Unscrewed with Harland Williams — a 3x weekly comedy micro-short that will
air on-demand on the KoldCast TV Comedy Network beginning this month.
“Harland is a versatile comic brand with an enormous fan base. Over the
last 15 years he has appeared in many of the funniest films of the period
and has become a gigantic cult favorite among an entire generation of young
moviegoers — the very same audience that became the driving force behind
the online video revolution that most people now refer to as Internet TV,”
said David S. Samuels, CEO of KoldCast TV. “Harland’s popularity among this
demo is simply impressive — when you mention his name, they often start
quoting his movie lines — they absolutely love him and know everything
that he has done.”
Each installment of Unscrewed will essentially be a micro-short
stand-up act performed by Harland who will have creative control of all
material. Audiences can expect hilarity without vulgarity in vintage
Harland Williams form.
“KoldCast TV is a cutting edge entity in the Internet world and I
brought Unscrewed to KoldCast because they have a visionary approach to a
medium that is taking over the world. I am proud to be a part of that
vision and look forward to spreading my artistic wings and WHOOOING like an
owl on KoldCast TV,” Williams said.

Kenny, in “Half Baked,” the hitchhiking serial killer in “There’s Something
About Mary,” the silent motorcycle stud, Slater, in “Superstar,” the
goofball astronaut Fred Z. Randall in Rocketman, or Roberta, the ugliest
red head in the world in “Sorority Boys”? Williams is seen regularly on
