Meet The Real Life 'Dude' Who Inspired 'The Big Lebowski' »

Wednesday marks the 15th anniversary of the Coen brothers' cult classic "The Big Lebowski." To celebrate, we metaphorically mixed up a White Russian and spoke with Jeff "The Dude" Dowd, the man who served as the inspiration for Jeff Bridges' character in "The Big Lebowski." "The Big Lebowski" tells the story of Jeff "The Dude" Lebowski, a lovable slacker with a taste for the milk cocktail and a habit of hanging out with his two friends Donny (Steve Buscemi) and Walter (John Goodman) at a bowling alley.
