Something Wilder (1994)
"And wait till you see who Gene's new neighbor is..."
I tuned in only for episode #14 "Hanging with Mr. Cooper": Gene is kept awake all night by his new noisy neighbors. Against his wife's advice, he heads over to the house to ask the owner to keep the noise down. He learns his new neighbor's name, Alice, but is unsuccessful at locating her at the party. He simply asks one of the guests to relay the message to keep the music down and returns home.
Sometime later he is again awakened by loud music. He returns determined to speak with Alice directly, but is surprised to find his neighbor is actually Alice Cooper. Alice and Gene works things out amicable and Gene returns to his wife's side to enjoy slumber in peace and quiet.
The fact that the promos revealed the surprise cameo shows how hard they tried to put some spark into this dull series. Look for Alice to use the opportunity to poke fun at himself as he did in Wayne's World, and in a recent commercial for Marriott Residence Inns, where he asks a father on the street, in full makeup, "You don't want your kids growing up weird, do you?"
Clue?? (1988)
A lot of fun!
So what was it like playing the evil Butler of the film Clue?? I recall the filming on a friends remote mansion was quite a thrill. The worst part of the entire event was shooting the dinner scene over and over again. Everyone one was seated while I stood with a plate for over an hour as they reset the shot from different angles.
Although the script was written prior to filming, the actual multiple endings were improvised. We each had thirty seconds to explain away the murders. Mine was rather difficult since I was eliminated midway through the movie! It did give me a chance to deliver my deep maniacal laugh. It is my gift, and on a job interview, my curse.
