David Krumholtz and Caleb Alexander Smith join Nerdtropolis Mayor Sean Tajipour on Reel Insights to dive into Forelock — the darkly funny, character-driven LA story that blends crime, chaos, and an unlikely friendship between two men who should never have crossed paths.Caleb breaks down how much of the film’s wild world is pulled straight from real-life Los Angeles, from street-level absurdities to the surreal experience of constantly being mistaken for a certain superhero. He opens up about writing, directing, and starring in the film, sharing what it took to build Caiden’s wide-eyed innocence, survive a brutally unforgiving spandex suit, and guide a story that explores male friendship, identity, and the madness hiding beneath the city’s glossy surface.David talks about stepping into Randy, the sharp-tongued con artist whose humanity sneaks up on audiences. He reflects on finding the character’s emotional core, crafting some of the film’s biggest laugh lines on the fly, and discovering the unexpected chemistry that formed the heart of the movie. He also teases his upcoming role in Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow and how the project stays true to the graphic novel fans love.Together, the duo revisit their first meeting, break down the odd-couple energy that shaped their performances, and talk about the challenges — and joys — of making an indie film with grit, humor, and a beating heart.Visit Nerdtropolis.comhttps://www.Facebook.com/nerdtropolishttps://Instagram.com/nerdtropolishttps://Twitter.com/nerdtropolis
