The documentary To Be Takei, which opens in select theaters this week, introduced George Takei's husband Brad to his audience, which has exploded on social media. As Chadwick Moore explained in his recent story in Out magazine, "the couple's constant bickering was a hit on-screen, both hilarious and endearing. Now the two are launching a YouTube series, It Takeis Two, which is slated to debut later this year."
In this exclusive clip from the doc, you get a taste of the support (and endearing criticism) from Brad, who is also George's manager, as he prepares to rehearse for the musical, Allegiance. Especially, as Brad quips, George doesn't necessarily sing on key.
To Be Takei opens on VOD, iTunes and in 10 markets nationwide on August 22
