2017-10-31T07:34:23-07:00Andy Dick Fired for Alleged Sexual Harassment
Former NewsRadio star Andy Dick has attempted to make a career out of being offensive and inappropriate. That's why it comes as little surprise that he was recently fired from a small role in an independent movie over claims that he repeatedly harassed and assaulted multiple members of the production. He also was apparently not doing his job very well. In other words, it was all business as usual for Andy Dick.
Via The Hollywood Reporter.
Andy Dick has been dropped from the independent feature film Raising Buchanan following accusations of sexual harassment and misconduct on set.
The Hollywood Reporter was not able to reach any of the alleged victims, however, two sources detailed Dick’s inappropriate behavior, which included groping people’s genitals, unwanted kissing/licking and sexual propositions of at least four members of the production.

Berm-Tech Industries and its staff of cubicle-dwelling vampires are once again open for business. Just out on DVD this week is Netherbeast Incorporated, the quirky horror/comedy feature debut of the Phoenix-based filmmaking team of Dean and Brian Ronalds.
Based on the brothers’ short film The Netherbeast Of Berm-tech Industries, Inc., produced in 2004 and a favorite on the festival circuit, the full-length adaptation (scripted, like the short, by Bruce Dellis) stars Darrell Hammond as the company boss who kills an employee with a stake through the heart, forgetting he’s a vampire himself. Steve Burns, Jason (The Tripper) Mewes and Dave (Postal) Foley play three of the undead employees, while Amy Davidson and Judd Nelson are two human outsiders who discover the company secret; Robert Wagner also appears (in a flashback) as President James Garfield. The movie enjoyed a limited theatrical run in the Phoenix area last fall ahead of...

Dean and Brian Ronalds had been making short films for a few years when they were handed a script to a three-minute flick called Netherbeast of Berm-Tech Industries. That short, written by Bruce Dellis, turned into a much longer script that the brothers decided would be their first feature film. Now, their horror comedy Netherbeast, Incorporated is getting a limited theatrical release beginning this weekend as well as a domestic DVD push later this year.
We sat down with the Ronalds Brothers last week as they were editing another film they're producing, The Graves, written and directed by comic book author Brian Pulido.
I remember talking to you guys about the short film years ago at the Phoenix Film Festival, and then I saw this movie about 18 months ago. So how long has Netherbeast been brewing?
Dean Ronalds: From making the short to this point in time, probably four years.
