Easterday gained some notoriety following the 1988 release of the Canadian movie The Kid Brother (1988), in which he played a fictionalized version of himself. The film developed a small "cult" following in Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom, as is evident from its reference on a variety of fan sites.
