The Two Coreys
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Two Coreys (also known as The Coreys) are two popular teen actors from the 1980s, Corey Feldman and Corey Haim. Born in the same year, the two Jewish[1] actors appeared in many films together, most notably a number of successful teen-oriented films in the late 1980s. Feldman starred in Gremlins, The Goonies, Stand By Me, and Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter while Haim starred in Silver Bullet and Lucas before being joined together in the movie The Lost Boys in 1987.

[edit] Reality show
The Two Coreys is a reality show on the A&E Network. The show begins with Haim, unemployed, single, and slovenly, moving in with Feldman, who has become a clean living, responsible adult, and Feldman's wife, Susie Sprague (married by fellow celebrity star M.C. Hammer on a 2002 Surreal Life episode) in a threesome in the style of the film You, Me & Dupree.[2] Although they are credited as playing themselves,[3] the actors play characters which are definitely meant to represent their real personas. Haim and Feldman are producers on the program.[2] The show is filmed near Vancouver, British Columbia, and its production is in part covered through Canadian grants.
RDF USA Vice President Greg Goldman said because Feldman and Haim have been friends on and off screen for several years, the chemistry between the two "just pops off the screen." He explains, "Everyone feels like they know the Coreys."[4] On Tom Green Live, Corey Feldman said the house they were staying in during the filming of The Two Coreys was a rental but they ended up staying there.[citation needed]
The show began filming on December 4, 2006 and premiered on A&E on July 29, 2007.[5] The show was cancelled before finishing the second season. The final episode aired August 17, 2008.
