Cabin Boy

Cabin Boy is a 1994 American fantasy comedy film directed by Adam Resnick, co-produced by Tim Burton, and starring comedian Chris Elliott.

Both Elliott and Resnick worked for Late Night with David Letterman in the 1980s as well as co-creating the Fox sitcom Get a Life in the early 1990s.

The next morning, Captain Greybar finds Nathaniel in his room and explains that the boat will not return to dry land for three months.

Nathaniel quickly runs out of supplies, begins consuming salt water, and suffers extreme sunburn after confusing cooking oil as lotion.

It is revealed by Skunk and Big Teddy that the shark-man is known as Chocki, the offspring of a male viking and female shark.

Finally reaching Hawaii, Nathaniel offers his newfound companions a job at the hotel where his father is the owner, which they refuse.

Chris Elliott earned a Razzie Award nomination for Worst New Star, but lost to Anna Nicole Smith for Naked Gun 33+1⁄3: The Final Insult.

Hip hop producer Dan "the Automator" Nakamura named his publishing company, Sharkman Music, after the film.

David Letterman has a small cameo in this film, at the time his only big screen credit in which he wasn't playing himself.

For many years, whenever discussing Hollywood topics on The Late Show, he would cite his cameo in Cabin Boy as the sum of his relevant experience.
