another name fact the character Grady Wilson is also the actor playing Lamont's real name. Never heard a story about that but it is what it is.

My dad had a friend at work named Grady and they all called him Shady Grady for some reason I never learned. Never met the guy but I pictured him in my mind as looking exactly like Grady Wilson.
