The novel of the same name served as the basis for the comedy How to Be a Gentleman, which is based on the book of the same name and tells the story of an odd friendship between a traditional writer and an unpolished personal trainer. Etiquette columnist Andrew Carlson, played by David Hornsby, lives a secluded existence as a result of his adherence to the ideas of a more civilized era, which has caused him to become estranged from modern society. Bert Lansing, played by Kevin Dillon, is a reformed "bad guy" from Andrew's past who inherited a fitness center but can still be rude, noisy, and messy at times. He has an optimistic attitude that is contagious. Andrew engages Bert as a life coach in the hopes of learning how to be less of a "gentle man" and more of a "genuine guy." This decision was prompted by the fact that Andrew's editor, Jerry (Dave Foley), told him to add a modern and sensual touch to his column or face being sacked.
