In the movie, which Schneider also directed, the funnyman's character is sentenced to prison time after cheating clients out of money.
But he insists there's no comparison to his own father - who was an honest broker.
Schneider tells Starpulse.com, "My dad was a really honest guy. He was the first guy to rent to African Americans in San Francisco in '54, before the civil rights movement and he's a good guy. He would never allow people to buy the homes if they couldn't afford to pay. He would never give loans via a second mortgage company. His clients never lost money; though, I don't think he would have been able to protect them in this kind of (climate). Anybody who lost money, he would absorb it. He was that good a guy."
