Swardson spoke to The Lantern in a conference call about the film.Īdam Sandler - founder of Happy Madison Productions, the production company that produced the film - came up with the idea for “Bucky Larson,” Swardson said. Armed with a bowl cut, a sweater vest and a “Fargo”-esque Midwestern accent, Bucky moves to Los Angeles hoping to follow in his parents’ footsteps. The film follows Larson, a small-town grocery bagger who discovers his conservative parents were once porn stars. Nick Swardson - noted for his roles in “Grandma’s Boy,” “Blades of Glory” and TV’s “Reno! 911” - stars as the wide-eyed, buck-toothed Bucky Larson in “Bucky Larson: Born to Be a Star,” in theaters Friday.
Now the spotlight’s on him, and this time he’s an aspiring porn star. He’s been featured in supporting roles as a nerd, a stalker and a flamboyantly gay petty criminal. Nick Swardson goes into porn with 'Bucky Larson'
