Biography

Willie D Burton, lors de ses années au lycée, travaille dans un magasin d'électro-ménager et développe un intérêt pour l'électronique. Les possibilités de trouver du travail dans ce domaine étant très restreintes pour un Afro-Américain à cette époque en Alabama, il décide de déménager à Long Beach (Californie), où il peut étudier l’électronique au Compton City College . Après avoir obtenu son diplôme, il veut travailler dans la télédiffusion, mais il lui faut pour cela être syndiqué. En 1969, il est le premier Noir à obtenir la carte de l'International Sound Technicians Union, ce qui lui permet alors de travailler sur plusieurs séries télé.

En 1975, il arrive à se faire engager par Sidney Poitier sur le tournage de Let's Do It Again , qui marque le vrai début de sa carrière.

Gaylord "Greg" Focker (Stiller) is preparing to celebrate his twins' fifth birthday party. Things seem to go awry when Greg's father-in-law Jack Byrnes (De Niro) visits. Recently, Jack has been diagnosed with a heart condition and become embittered by his daughter Debbie's divorce from her husband, Bob (whose marriage was the social event in the first film and how Jack and Greg met), for cheating on her with a nurse. Jack's plan was originally to name Bob as his successor as head of the Byrnes family, but decides to pass the role to Greg, naming him "The Godfocker." Despite Greg reluctantly accepting the role, Jack begins to suspect Greg of infidelity when he sees him with a drug representative, Andi Garcia (Alba), who openly flirts with him, and the presence of Sustengo erection pills in Greg's house, which prompts Jack to think Greg is no longer sexually attracted to his wife, Pam (Polo). Furthermore, Jack starts to doubt Greg's ability to provide for his family when he appears reluctant to send his children to a private school.
