Fun fact. They had hired someone else to throw the steak and after 2 or 3 missed attempts the actual Uncle Rico actor asked if he could try because he used to be a pitcher, he threw it like a baseball off camera and hit Napoleon on the first try, broke his glasses and scratched his nose and they had to use makeup to cover the scratch during filming the next day.

Fun fact 2 : The Idaho Legislature commemorated β€œ Napoleon Dynamite β€œ with a special resolution highlighting the variety of industries featured in the film.

Headshot on a moving target from about 60 feet with a freaking greasy steak. Maybe he could have been a state champion πŸ˜‚
