A lot of Gary’s misadventures are reportedly courtesy of Anderson’s friends, the producer Gary Goetzman (“Larry Crowne,” “My Big Fat Greek Wedding,” “The Silence of the Lambs”), who, like Gary, was a child actor, and who, by this account, bounded into a very, very shaggy-dog 1970s Southern California at a young age.
