Pauly Shore to star as Richard Simmons in biopic — see first look at the comedian in character

After years of comments about how he looks like Richard Simmons, Pauly Shore is donning the fitness guru's iconic workout gear for a short film premiering during Sundance, and a feature film that's currently in development.

Pauly Shore as Richard Simmons and Tamra Brown as Ellen DeGeneres in 'The Court Jester' short film. You were very vocally supportive of your Encino Man costars, Brendan Fraser and Ku Huy Quan the past couple of years, with all their huge successes and Oscar wins. The Court Jester makes its premiere during Sundance at 9 p.m. MT on Friday, Jan. 19, at the Cabin in Park City, Utah, and will be available to stream that night on YouTube.
