"One
day, I did a whole entire scene with my tooth blacked out. I knew
it was a serious scene, and I wouldn't be smiling, so they
wouldn't see my tooth. I did the entire dialogue, in a close-up.
At the end of the scene, right before they said "Cut," I flashed a
big smile at the camera. They edited it out, of course. I used to
sit behind my desktop do a serious scene with Lynda, and, at the
end of it, I'd fall out of my chair or something like that. If I'd
known they were going to have shows like Bloopers ... boy, we'd
have given them some great stuff. I used to plan-because I had so
few lines toward the end of the series-I used to plan silly things
to do at the end of a scene. Everyone would look forward to it.
That's how I'd get my kicks." -Lyle Waggoner. |
