Davidson wrote the script to the film along with Apatow and Dave Sirus, which is described in the report “as a semi-autobiographical story of Davidson growing up in Staten Island, New York.”
The young actor lost his father in 9/11, an event that that obviously had a vital impact on his life.
Davidson joined SNL when he was just 20 years old, and has since appeared in numerous TV shows including Brooklyn Nine-Nine and The Jim Gaffigan Show.
At age 16 he jumped into stand up and used “stark, truthful” language on sensitive topics, including the loss of his father.
