Actor Eugene Levy returns to the big screen Friday as an investment banker in "Madea's Witness Protection," and tells TODAY's Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb that it was a huge honor to work with iconic director and producer Tyler Perry.
In the film, Levy's character goes into hiding with Madea's memorable family, a white man hiding out in a neighborhood where "we don't even have any white cars."
"It's a very funny movie and I have to say (Tyler Perry is) a very funny man," Levy told the hosts, revealing that he had Perry's permission to go off-script and get "a little nutty."
