The Kid & I
is a 2005 movie with Tom Arnold and Eric Gores.

Characters

The main characters are:

Bill Williams (Tom Arnold) - An out of work actor who had a supporting role in True Lies
.
Aaron Roman (Eric Gores) - a teenager with cerebral palsy that wants to star in a film with Williams.
Guy Prince (Richard Edson
) - Williams's personal assistant.

Plot

Bill Williams is about to commit suicide because his career is ruined. Then a billionaire (played by Joe Mantegna) hires Williams to write and co-star in a movie exactly like True Lies so that his son, Aaron Roman, who's favorite film is True Lies, can live out his dream of being an actor and star of an action movie.

"Based on a Sorta True Story"

Gores is the son of Alec Gores, a billionaire technology investor and founder of the Gores Technology Group, best known for its acquisition and resale of Brøderbund. The younger Gores has cerebral palsy and his father hired Arnold, a neighbor in Los Angeles, to make a sequel to Eric's favorite film, True Lies
(1994), in which Arnold co-starred. The plot of The Kid & I closely parallels the actual situation.

The profits for this movie are going to United Cerebral Palsy, a lobby group for disabled peoples in Washington, DC.
