Farrelly Brothers Tracked Down 'Blind Billy' On Facebook To Cast Him In 'Dumb And Dumber' Sequel
EntertainmentEntertainment1 min read

Child star Brady Bluhm became briefly famous in 1994 after appearing in the Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels hit film, "Dumb and Dumber."

Blum played "Blind Billy," a kid who characters Harry and Lloyd take advantage of by selling him a dead bird for $25.

Here's Bluhm as Billy in 1994. You may recall him stroking the bird with his now-famous phrase, "Pretty bird":

Fast forward to nearly 20 years later and Bluhm is now a 30-year-old man with a wife and baby.

According to his Facebook page, he moved behind the scenes after his child acting with jobs including sound engineer and is currently employed by an educational software company.

So when the Farrelly brothers started working on "Dumb and Dumber To" earlier this year, they wanted to bring back Bluhm - but had a hard time finding him.

Eventually, the Farrelly bros - who are writing, directing, and producing the sequel - turned to Facebook.

When they found him, Bluhm was asked to re-audition for the role and landed the job, according to a report in TMZ.

Here's Bluhm today:
