My brother Tim is a television producer working for ABC. Recently he sold a comedy pilot to ABC based on my family in the 1970's, growing up in Glendale, CA, an Irish-Catholic family with 8 sons. At the time, I was a student at St. John's Seminary in the archdiocese of Los Angeles and I am portrayed in the teleplay. They started taping this week and I met my television doppelgänger. The creation of the pilot is a big step in turning it into a weekly TV series.
