2gether

What do teenage girls love? Boy bands! Or at least they sure did in the beginning of the new century. 5 multi-faceted actors were recruited to spoof the trend for MTV’s first original movie, 2Ge+her. The 2Ge+her members were Evan Farmer as Jerry O'Keefe, “the heartthrob”; Alex Solowitz as Mickey Parke, “the bad boy”; Michael Cuccione as Jason “Q.T.” McKnight, “the young one/cute one”; Noah Bastian as Chad Linus, “the shy one”, and Kevin Farley (eerily channeling younger brother Chris at many points) as Doug Linus, “the older brother”.
The “boy band” was so popular, they became a successful act of their own, touring with Britney Spears and Mandy Moore, topping the music charts with the official soundtrack and a follow-up, and spawning two seasons of an MTV sitcom. Fans were distraught and shocked when Cuccione succumbed to Hodgkin’s lymphoma at age 16 during the airing of the second season. The show was soon cancelled, and the group fell apart.
Since then, the four surviving members have continued acting, and in Farley’s case, comedy, yet all still respond positively to fans of the “old band”.
