I knew him from the age of 6 to about 14, I acted like his big brother. He was always adorned by everyone, had the longest eyelashes you have ever seen. Girls thought he was so cute at that age. I met him while driving him and his mother Adrian in a cab. I hope I was his inspiration to become an actor. The most vivid memory I have, I took Adrian to see the movie "splash". He was about 8. When the movie ended, he was crying. I asked him why, and he explained... "he's never going to see his brother again!" Family has always meant alot to Adrian. I hope to see him again. I requested not to be in the movie, but I care alot about him. If I had one piece of advice for Adrian, it would be for him to let go of the nice guy image. Let it go just once and be angry. If he could take a part that would give him a chance to explode, I mean let all the hurt out, he would reach the heights of the most watched in hollywood.

After prosecuting him and him getting sentenced to prison, I decided to start following my hunch that someone else I was told was my biological father when I was a child might be something to find. I watched this documentary and was inspired to do so. This wasn't about a good or bad film it was about a life changing experience. I decided to put everything into it. I ended up finding him and found out I may have 3 brothers too. I didn't know the impact this would have on my life. We all were almost sure based on many facts so we all jumped in. I spent 7 amazing months with them. we finally did the DNA test and Friday at 6:15 PM it was confirmed Dennis is my Dad! I feel so many things and I am so happy. I am thankful for the moment of flipping chanels one night to happen upon this documentary! Thank you Adrian just for putting your heart and life out there! You inspired me! I am the most blessed woman for the opportunity to now know my real father and he's the best. I am blessed!

I enjoyed the film for its rawness and truth and am still not sure what those 2 scenes added or were for? Any ideas?

The stepmother also takes part of the blame, she blocked Adrian's phone calls to his dad...that's such an a**hole thing to do to a child. Adults really know how to screw children's lives over.

It provided some insight into my own quest for my biological father. I especially liked his comment about envisioning how you think things will be but being flexible enough to accept them as they are. I had quite a few 'aha' moments...watching this. Thank you Adrian.

Doesn't this remind you of the countless tasteless TV shows based around tracking down lost relatives? I mean who cares? It's private. Now is this was someone interesting like say, Werner Herzog, I would watch it, but of course interested people have better taste than this.
