Dion Mial
The person who play Dion Mial looks like Michael Jackson
shareI googled him and it said he was a MJ impersonator.
shareI also wondered about the possible gay relationship between Gary and Dion Mial (but as Jerry Seinfeld would say "Not that there's anything wrong with that"). The New York Times critic who reviewed the movie believes the movie implies they were boyfriends.

I always thought that the real Dion was gay. I remember he and Gary put out a "rap" song called the "Outlaw and the Indian" needless to say it was horrible.
shareYeah...I remember seeing the two of them singing that song on the talkshows. I remember thinking to myself, "What is Gary doing hanging out with that gay dude?" I think they had to have something going on...but look at Gary now, he's married and claim to never had sex with his wife. Did anybody see Gary and his wife on "Divorce Court"? It was unreal. Todd and his wife was on "Decision House" also with Judge Lynn Toler.
shareIn one scene as Gary and Dion drive away from his parents house the father actually screams you Michael Jackson WANNABEE! I had to rewind it just to make sure I heard it right.
shareYeah I caught that too (just posted that on another topic, in fact.) I also wondered if this was insinuated to be a gay relationship. If Gary is gay though, I don't think he's "out" because he was also on "Star Dates" a few years back being set up with a woman.
shareGary's likely not gay, never seen an inkling of that suggested from him.. Dion likely is, and they had their ups-and-downs over the years. Don't know where it all stands now. Dion was a Michael Jackson imersonator and could sing remarkably like him, too. The actor playing him really looked very close to what he looked like back then.
