Jeffrey Tambor Breaks Out the Grandpa Stick on Michael Cera

Beloved young comic actor Michael Cera has expressed ambivalence about the rumored Arrested Development movie to the point that some fans are wondering if he could single-handedly strangle the project in its crib. Enter George Michael Bluth's television grandfather Jeffrey Tambor, who name-checked the holdout with the following:

"If I have to call him up and say, ‘Get on set right now, young man,’ he’ll be there . . . The movie is going to happen this year, and Michael Cera is on board. Trust me."

Tambor's delivered the humor and had steady work since the mid-70's. You don't have that kind of Hollywood longevity without learning some deadly survival skills. So, Mike, unless this is another one of your straight-faced pranks, don't make PeePaw come after you.
