And John C. Reilly is absolutely breathtaking as my dad,” Jeanie said. “And and whether he he could feel that he could channel Jerry Buss. You know, the writers gave him great material. You know I mean the performance and how he wasn’t talked about for an award or several awards. I hope that this season, just from what I’ve seen so far, he should definitely be considered. He’s absolutely fabulous.

“And I got a chance to meet him at a Laker game and I literally cross paths with him in the chairman’s room at the arena. And I thought for a second, I really should introduce myself to him because I knew he was playing my dad. And I said it’s by chance I’m here. I’ve got to take this moment. So I introduce myself to him. And the look on his face, he goes, ‘Are you throwing me out?’ And I go, ‘Why would I throw you out?’ I said, ‘I just I really want you to hear this story. I have to tell you the story that one of the things that my dad and I did, one of our passions was to go to the movies. And my dad being very busy when when we did get a day to go to the movies, he’d want to see two or three or four in one day. And so we had seen the movie Chicago and John C. Reilly was fantastic in that film.

“And after we watched the film, my dad said to me, it goes, I think I think he’s going to win an award. He was really he was really good. And when somebody that it can be so funny can play such a tragic character. I said, ‘I think he’d be really honored that you were playing him.'”
