How Napoleon Dynamite Ruined “Pedro’s” Life

- [Narrator] Napoleon Dynamite took everyone by storm.
A bizarre movie with a small budget
and no famous people seemingly came out of nowhere
and captured America's hearts.
It seemed all involved in the film would be
destined for greatness, but sadly, that wasn't the case
for everyone.
- Hey, is that a new kid or something?
- Napoleon, this is Pedro.
- [Narrator] Despite having expectations
to vote for his character plastered on every
tchotchke at the mall circa 2006,
Efren Ramirez, the actor behind Pedro in the quirky classic
didn't exactly go on to huge things after becoming
instantly recognizable worldwide.
He popped up here and there without making a huge impression
and you probably didn't know his name
until I said it just now.
But his fame was sufficient enough to cause
his life to become a drama filled mess.
You see, Efren has an identical twin named Carlos.
And reports suggest the latter may like the sweet-natured
well-intentioned soul of Pedro.
Striking while Efren's fame was blazingly
(stammers) warm, Carlos began posing
as his brother at public appearances.
- What the heck are you guys doing
trying to ruin my life and make me look
like a frigging idiot?
- [Narrator] He claims that he only did so
at the request of Efren who was too busy
to make it to every social engagement
that his agent lined up for him.
We don't know if that's true or not
as Efren has gone on record to say,
he wants to keep what's between him and Carlos
between him and Carlos.
So it's a case of he said he said
doubly complicated when both he's are identical.
Carlos did admit, however,
at least one breach of fraternal etiquette.
I did attend an event without his knowledge,
as I was being immature and wanted to get back at him
for a personal matter which involved a girl
I was dating at the time.
He didn't elaborate on that
presumably hoping a studio buys the rights
to the full story.
We'll suggest that Carlos' hijinx
weren't all that innocent after all,
is the fact that Efren threatened to sue him
and slapped him with a cease and desist order
so unsuspecting attendees of boat shows
would no longer be tricked into worshiping a false Pedro.
After all, that Carlos remained upbeat
about reconciling with his estranged brother.
"I would love to talk to Efren,
"maybe even work together in the future."
"I think it's safe to say
"the magnitude of Napoleon Dynamite
"and everything that has come along with it
"has ruined my relationship with my twin."
In other words, it's the movie's fault
and he learned exactly bupkis.
If that sexy movie hadn't come along
why I'd never have done any of those crimes.
Nice defense Carlos.
