- If you know how to brighten up a room, you might as well go
- all the way," says Australia's latest cinematic export, Yahoo
- Serious. Yes, that is his name. "It's on my American Express
- card and my passport," he says in all Seriousness. "It makes
- people happy." The comedian, born Greg Pead, will be seen by
- U.S. audiences this summer in Young Einstein, a
- rock-historical-sci-fi-comic-romance about the scientific
- genius (played by Yahoo) and his brainy French fiancee Marie
- Curie. "Those turn-of-the-century kids outdid anything from the
- '60s," says Serious, who captures the zaniness in an explosive
- musical sequence where he turns fire-engine red and his hair
- sticks out. Which really isn't too different from the true-life,
- strawberry red corolla of his Einstein-like fluff. Says he: "I
- do it myself at the start of the week, and then I go surfing."
