The "Weird: The Al Yankovic Story" Cast Look So Much Like the Real People

"Weird Al"'s father, Nick Yankovic, was a World War II veteran who earned two Purple Hearts for his service as a medic during the war, as reported by The New York Times. He was supportive of Yankovic during his comedy career and appeared in some of his music videos, including "I Lost on Jeopardy" and "Amish Paradise." Nick Yankovic tragically passed away, along with his wife and Al's mother, Mary Yankovic, from carbon monoxide poisoning in their California home in 2004. The elderly couple, ages 86 and 81 at the time, lit a fire in their fireplace and died as a result of the chimney duct being closed, per The San Diego Union-Tribune.
