Holly used to work on Oh Grow Up, as did her assistant Liz. They had me in mind for this part since its inception. I know the producers quite well. What a perfect way to kick off the fall sitcom season.
And yet, as the words came out of my mouth, the scene did not unfold as I had planned. They gave me a note or two before I started, I screwed up the first couple of lines, and everything was a blur. Bad.
They asked me to do it again. Thank God. See, knowing people in this
town can pay off. I did it again and it was fantastic. At
least I thought so. I actually did the things I had planned on doing.
It went well. But then again, what are the chances they will suffer
through the first take and still give the second one a chance?
