JOSH PECK Opens Up About the Highs and Lows of DRAKE & JOSH #insideofyou #drakejosh

and no one ever complained about your weight like the producers or directors, or they just accepted it like yeah, let them be the overweight kid, oh they loved it, I mean I was especially in the early 2000s like I was fulfilling a niche as something special. on children's television or why there was always the fat friend or the fat bully and that was a big part of my inspiration or motivation to lose weight, it was like I really want to act, I'm being relegated and stereotyped. in these two parts and it doesn't seem like they're writing parts for people like me, that's a little bit more than this, right, but yeah, I mean, it's obviously a lot better now and I don't want to say that I think some people might read my book and I think I'm talking hyperbolically about myself or I'm kidding myself too much, but it really was a different world for a guy who looked like me at the time and this led to when you did it with Drake and Josh, it was pretty much what same, well yeah,

drake

was, so amanda was in that whole thing that was like snl for kids, right, she got amanda's show.

drake

and i were on amanda's show and got our own show a year later.

They liked them so much that they blossomed on the show, yeah, they have their own show, yeah, they called the guy who created all that and Amanda showed him this guy, Dan Schneider, and they said, Do you have another buddy comedy idea because he had made? Keean and Cal and he said no, they were great. If you have an idea, let us know. Drake and I are doing a scene for the last episode of the season and this guy, Steve Milaro, who you now know is a great writer and producer. chuck laurie walks up to dan and says um, don't they want you to write a buddy comedy? and he said yeah, he said it's those two idiots like that, really he's like that's your b, those are your friends and six months later we were on drake and
