Dave Coulier turned out to be an ideal match for Joey Gladstone on “Full Home,” and never simply because he got here up along with his now-iconic final identify. From the stand-up comedy routines to the outlandish outfits, Coulier made each component of his character work. This makes it all of the extra stunning to be taught that he had worries about lacking out on the half within the wake of his audition. He recalled on “Full Home Rewind” that he got here in and gained the approval of Jeff Franklin instantly, however that wasn’t fairly sufficient.
“[Producer Tom Miller] stops me and he goes, ‘Wait a second. I might such as you to learn for the daddy,'” he stated, and that was all it took for Coulier to really feel he struck out. He thought that he completely missed the mark for Joey, so that they have been as an alternative going to check him for Danny Tanner – the “Full Home” character who followers really feel deserved higher, as portrayed by the late Bob Saget. Fortunately, Franklin went to bat for him and reassured him that he was the choose for Joey. Coulier recalled Franklin telling him afterward, “‘I used to be offended at Tom Miller when he stated, “Let’s have him learn for the daddy,” as a result of I used to be like, “I do not care who else walks in right here at the moment, that is my Joey. That is my character.”‘”
Suffice to say, “Full Home” would’ve been a vastly totally different present both with out Dave Coulier or with him within the position of Danny Tanner. One has to think about that in both state of affairs, Gladstone would not have been Uncle Joey’s final identify.
