Clerks Star Jeff Anderson Has An Idea For Randal To Make The Perfect Cameo In Mallrats 2 [Exclusive]

During Ethan Anderton's interview with Brian O'Halloran and Jeff Anderson, the former shared that he thinks "Twilight of the Mallrats" will go into production as soon as possible. "I know he wrote this other script about these kids in 1984 going to the movies," he said. "He might be shooting this before 'Mallrats II,' but it's something that when there are people willing to go with 'Mallrats II,' then we're ready." Since the film isn't on wheels yet, that leaves plenty of room for last-minute additions to the script, like Anderson's idea of ​​how to incorporate Randal Graves into the film.

"We never talked about it, but I think it would be funny in 'Mallrats II' for Randal to randomly drop by, and Brian's character to be like 'Hey Gil'," said said Anderson. In his mind, Gil would respond with a simple, "Hey, Randal," and that would be the end of it. "And that's it," Anderson continued. "Never discuss it, never talk about it again. Just some sort of random thing to bind the universe. Not even make a scene of it, just a throwaway."

With Gil and Dante existing as cousins ​​in the View Askewniverse, it makes perfect sense for Randal to know Gil. O'Halloran was also a fan of the idea, and Anderson once again emphasized that he would be more than okay with the cameo. "I think that would be really funny," he said, "and I definitely would."

"Clerks III" is now available on home video.
