Need answers about Billy / Tommy plus more

I think that is there names ~ just rewatched with commentary from director and was hoping he would shed more light to certain things but did not.

1. During the fight of Tim's father to the Jewish guy (sorry can't think of his name right now) at the kid's dance. Either Billy or Tommy mention that he could stay with them for a while. Now to me that suggest they reside together which begs my question if they were meant to have been brothers? True they always been showcased next to one another throughout film but just never considered that as a reasoning... so does anyone know if that was the case?

2. Clark mentions about the couple in the movie Susan Clark and Alex Karras as just living together at the time to figure out there relationship. I assumed they were already married or what not at that point so am I to assume they didn't get married till afterward? And if so ~ how long after?

3. Kim Cattrell is a BIG star now but Clark mentioned how she was sort of a cameo for his movies during this time. I assumed growing up that this was 1 of her 1st flicks and was shocked at his statement. Did anyone who grew up around this film already know about her and if so ... did you see her part as such? Have to ask because this was 1st film prior to Police Academy that I knew she did and as stated ~ was a bit surprised at Clark's statement on his commentary.

Thanks to anyone able to answer either one or all these questions.

1. I don't believe any of them were brothers so I take the comment as both Billy & Tommy are inviting them to stay at their respective homes.

2. According to Susan's IMDB bio. she married Alex on May 21, 1980 and had a daughter born that same year.

3. She wasn't a big star back in 1982, mostly TV work. I was 14 when I saw this in theaters and didn't know the cast. of course at that age, who cares.... I don't remember her in Police Academy, but I do remember her from Big Trouble In Little China & Mannequin a few years after this. So it did help
her land some more jobs.

Sometimes with audio commentaries, the director, cast etc. aren't fully prepared when they record them, so yes it is a bit frustrating when those BIG questions go unanswered.

None of the boys were related.

1. The Jewish guy was Brian Schwartz. I think Billy mentions that Tim can stay with him or Tommy for awhile. I don't think he says "and".

2. I don't know when they got married. Check the imdb trivia section on them.

3. Kim also appeared in his 1981 film Tribute. At the time they were friends or something so maybe he cast her a lot. He did that with some of the Porky's crowd as well in later films.

Billy was the one who said that line. And he did say him OR Tommy which suggests they don't live in the same house.

But that remark made me do a double take since how can he speak for Tommy or his parents and just invite people to stay with them without first getting Tommy's or even Tommy parents' approval?
