Doug E. Doug has said he still has his character’s lucky eggs from “Cool Runnings,” the 1993 Disney film loosely based on the 1988 Jamaican Olympic bobsled team. They’re rubber.

Doug, now 45, recently reflected on his most well-known role while at the Tribeca Film Festival debut of his new film, “The Wannabe.”

The Brooklyn, N.Y., has said he’s asked about “Cool Runnings” daily and called it a “sideline occupation” but is also proud of the fame.

Here are excerpts from Doug’s interview:
