- Via a recent e-newsletter, comedian Joshua Sankey reveals that it’s him sharing the screen in that deleted scene from “Zack and Miri Make a Porno” where Craig Robinson attempts to buy his big screen TV:
“…I made the deleted scenes on the DVD of the hilarious Kevin Smith film “Zack and Miri Make a Porno” starring Seth Rogen and Elizabeth Banks! My scene got cut from the theatrical release but thanks to today’s technological advances you can see me in Scene 12 “Delaney’s Flatscreen” on the Deleted Scenes menu. Check it out. It’s a cool scene with the hilarious Craig Robinson from The Office, Knocked Up and Pineapple Express. Working with Kevin and Craig was definitely the highlight of my comedy career! So buy the DVD, as the movie is funny and sweet and there’s a whole bunch of extras!”
