Weirdest comment by an actor?- Page 3

Ok, maybe not the weirdest, but still pretty funny if you ask me . . . After seeing "Everythings Turning Into Beautiful" for the second time, I waited outside with my friend for Daphne to come out. During the show I had pointed out the tatoo on her hand to my friend saying how odd (yet interesting) it was that she had a face on her hand. My friend instantly said that she thought it was a dragonfly. So of course we had to ask her! My friend said we loved her tatoo but were wondering what it was. DRV promptly tells us that it is a Buddha face and, "the right eye is . . . no, no, the left eye means . . . whoa, I should know this shouldn't I? Especially since it's on my body!" lol But then she told us that if we went up the street and around the corner (told us the address) that that guy would know cause he was the one who did it. She really was so nice and funny . . . can't wait to see her again!

Me: I really loved the show. It's got such an interesting message.
Kieran Culkin: Oh, you actually saw it?
(There was a crowd of autograph collectors following subUrbia.)

My friend: Ms. Pawk, would you mind signing a Mamma Mia Playbill?
Michelle Pawk: Am I in it? I don't think they put me in them.
My friend: Yes, you are.
(Pawk looks for her picture)
Michelle Pawk: Wow!

If she was in the show, why wouldn't she be in the playbill?

My dad bought a poster @ Sweeney Todd for me, and he was waiting to get it signed. He had previously (and totally by accident) walked by the stage door as Cerveris came out, but had nothing for him to sign, they walked together to the lobby after the crowd dispered to see if they were still selling stuff, but alas, they were not. SO this second time at the stage door, after he had already gotten all the cast's autographs once he says to michael "last time i was here i didn't have anything for you to sign... Can you sign the poster again please?" Micheal, who had signed over where his name was billed, says gesturing to the only unsigned spot left on the poster, which was patti's billing, "what, do you want me to sign for patti, too?" My dad replies "sure, why not!" and he did...

Not so much an actor, at all, but when I went to the La Cage revival I eneded up seated next to Jerry Herman, and didn't realize it until the end of Act 1 when i made this terribly obnoxious noise of excitment for Brent Barrett (I had been late, and then got lost finding the theatre in the Marriot hotel), and I hear this voice say, "I am so glad you enjoyed my show" and i about wet myself, and then babbled something about really liking Mack and Mabel and Mame and Dolly, and got his autograph, and then he left for backstage.

Not by an actor, but a flamboyant teenage boy at the stage door of Avenue Q:

"Omigod, Barrett Foa is so hot. I want him to lick my vagina. It's soooo crusty."

I couldn't make that up.

This is a conversation I had with Rondi Reed (Chicago's Madame Morrible) at the sage door.

Me: Hi, great job.
RR: Did I scare you?
Me: Not really, this was my fifth time seeing it.
RR: Darn it, I like scaring people!

Michelle was in Mamma Mia for....let's say 3 weeks. And she likes joking around about it.

The actress (B.N.) rans away from a fan who wants her playbill signed...she turns to her and says "Why would I sign that...you'll just sell it on ebay!"

Not really on topic, but I was so nervious meeting Raul Esparza that I called him short *kicks self*. I said: "Wow, you're like as tall as I am!" (he's 5"6', I'm 5"4'- but... yeah), and he said that "I'm told I'm short a lot". Of all the things I could have said, lol.

When I was backstage at Wicked two Octobers ago, Jennifer Laura Thompson was talking to my aunt (they're good friends) about how her breasts were so sore (this was right after she had given birth to her son, Tommy). It was... pretty weird to overhear.

At Jonathan Pryce and Norbert's last Dirty Rotten Scoundrels show, I had my CD insert for Sara to sign. Jonathan grabbed it by accident and said, "You know I'm not on this, right? Do you want me to sign it anyway?"

"And I said, yeah... why not?"

And then he said, "You wish I was on it though." And I smiled because boy, was he right! More cool than weird, but yeah.

pretty much everyone i talked to at the wicked tour stage door had something interesting to say;

Pj benjamin: you sure you want[my signature]? i'm not green.

Alma Cuervo: you get a good signature since you know who the hell i am. (then she signed about 5 posters rapidly (my friend's is signed completely upside down)

Emily Rozek (u/s in for glinda) convversation;
Me: Hey, I saw you in Millie
Emily: as millie?
me: yeah you were so gr- (cut off)
Emily: You have some bad luck i guess

The fiyero understudy got his crotch grabbed by a little old lady taking a picture, and Victoria Matlock talked to my friend in detail about cleaning off the green then, when being rushed while signing a girl trying to get back to her school group's bus's poster, said "tell them they can wait for you My name is LONG"

Last night when I asked Erika Christensen how Jennifer Aniston did on stage in the 24 Hour Play, she said "Jennifer was excellent, with impecable timing, and a keen sense of humor."

It's not a comment by an actor, but while we're on the subject of awkward/weird things happening while meeting actor, I'm going to tell my story.

I actually went to one of Constantine Maroulis' shows (not on Broadway?) and I met him after the show and didn't have anything for him to sign. I awkwardly hugged him and then he took my hand and started to rub it. Yeah, that was strange, but I got over it. I went on to thank him for singing Origin of Love, et cetera, et cetera, and he goes to talk to the next fan, and he's not letting go of my hand. So he had a conversation with me and a conversation with the person next to me and I was getting this really awkward hand massage the whole time. It was so strange.

In his defense, it was almost 1 AM, he had a cold, his tooth was broken and cutting into the back of his tongue, and he could hardly speak. Sooo.

Again not quite an actor, but I bumped into Mel Brooks when he was in London when the Producers was opening. I said I was sorry to bother him but just wanted to say how much I enjoyed his films, to which he replied "Which is your favourite?".

this isnt weird, but it was funny
my sister was wearing a shirt that had a picture of a Golden Ticket on it. so after SWEENEY TODD, Donna Lynn Champlin comes out to sign. she sees my sister's shirt, and asks "so which one is your favorite?" so then my sister and her got into a long conversation about Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and if the new one or old one is better. :) it was amusing

After "The Last 5 Years" my friend and I were waiting to get Sherie's and Norbert's autographs. Sherie came out first and signed our stuff, then we asked her if Norbert was still inside or if he'd left already. She said he was still there, then she was like, "Do you want his autograph? Just show him your boobs and he'll sign anything."

Aww. That's kind of sad that she didn't think she was good.

I got a funny one a few nights ago about Jews and therapy. I was so tired that I probably like, zoned out and missed a sentence or something, because while half the comment made sense, half of it just made none whatsoever.

Weird one that I made to someone else while I was extremely tired:

A young girl and her friends came up to me at my band concert, and complimented me on my performance in Guys & Dolls. I went "Wait, you actually saw that?" I DID thank them, but I had to take a minute to process what they were syaing.

I remember watching The Producers cast album recording session dvd and someone asked Matthew "What was the weirdest thing Marlon Brando ever said to you?" And Matthew replied,"There are so many....Oh you're doing Letterman. That's like putting fried eggs under your armpits."

This happened to my sister at the Jersey Boys stage door in September, but I don't think it qualifies as weird just random. She said JLY turned to her and said that he was going on a two week vacation in October, when she didn't even ask him.

I have one that may win for ditziest comment by an actor...

[In B.F.E., Connecticut, where a group of us have gone to see Idina Menzel in "Summer of '42"]

Idina: Be careful driving, it gets really smoggy up here. Wait, that's not right, is it? Smoggy?
Us: No, it's foggy.
Idina: Oh right, yeah! Foggy. It gets foggy.

She has a tendency to misuse words, which I can't remember the word for right now. Not a misnomer, but a... oh well.

Malapropism?
