His brother is the actor Albert Brooks, probably remember him best for the sweating TV news anchor in the movie Broadcast News around 1988. You wonder why they have different last names? Albert Brooks real name is Albert Einstein, he was a funny standup in the 80's on a lot of the TV shows before he got into acting.

As far as Gene Okerlund, I loved wrestling in the 80's with that guy and Randy Macho Man Savage and Roddy Rowdy Piper and that whole MTV gig they had going on. Even Cindy Lauper was a manager. What I couldn't believe was Macho Man's wife, Miss Elizabeth. They had separated a long time ago and she died of a drug overdoze.
