The star revealed parents prayed for him, and his sisters tried to speak to him about what a "d**khead" he was being, but it was his pal and castmate Brydon who finally got through to him.
"I said, 'Look, this is a bit awkward to say, but I'm just hearing these things about you, and you've got to know that the way you behave has an effect on people,' " the 54-year-old recalled.
