That’s a Real Leather Chair. I Hope She Isn’t Sweating and Sticks To It. That Would Smart. Werd On That.
With the reissuing of Lucian Carter’s comedy Secret Insurance Agent Man, the producer/studio chief discovered that shooting was much more relaxed than before. Cast and crew were often the victims and pullers of practical jokes.
“During previous incarnations of SIAM,” explained a Ship of Fooles employee, “Will Ferrell wore a moustache. For this go-round, he was clean shaven. Occassionally Will would have makeup give him a moustache and see how long it would take for someone to notice. Our director, Raja Gosnell, went an hour one day before he caught on. He was steamed for a bit, but we all ended up having a good laugh.”
It wasn’t Ferrell’s common antics that took Lucian most by surprise, though.
“One day Lucian returned to his office on the lot,” continued the SoF staff member. “And there, sitting on his favorite chair, was Drew Barrymore, naked as a jaybird. Lucian was speechless. Drew decided not to toy with him for too long, probably because SIAM is the only work she’s had outside of Blinded by an Apple back in 2006. You don’t want to freak out prospective employers too much.”
Lucian has not returned any calls yet concerning this encounter.
