'Dumb and Dumber 2' News: Rob Riggle Says Sequel is Funnier Than the Original 1994 Film? [VIDEO]
Comedian Rob Riggle recently discussed his role in the highly anticipated Dumb and Dumber 2, the sequel to the 1994 original.
Riggle spoke with CBS News this week about his role in Dumb and Dumber 2, which has been stylized to Dumb and Dumber To in order to reflect the idiocy of the two main characters. In the sequel, Riggle will play twin brothers.
"I'm such a fan of the first one, so it's such an honor to be asked to be in this one," he admitted. "It's the Farrelly brothers back at it. You got Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels back as Harry and Lloyd -- and it's funny. It's good. These guys were dedicated to making this as funny or funnier than the original. If you like the first one, you're going to love this one."
Riggle will be playing a handyman named Travis as well as his unstable twin brother Captain Lippencott.
