your career as an actor and comedian and stuff you actually worked on film Crews yes which is I don't
think a lot of actors and actresses start actually working on the production crew Maybe I'm Wrong
about it oh no yeah I was a production assistant at PA which is basically like the lowest like the
lowest wrong on the ad I was bringing people coffee and stuff like that and uh one of the
movies I worked on was collateral damage anybody remember that yeah one person one girl like yeah
Arnold Schwarzenegger and uh and uh one of the scenes with the scene where I'm it's really
intense scene where there's a bomb in a room and Arnold has to get into the room I need it and and
yeah eat the bomb I need it and his line was open up the door there's a bombing there look at that
and uh so they go hey Bill we need you to operate he's like one of those Star Trek
doors you know like and so he's like Bill you need to operate the door for this I
was like oh okay so I'm I'm like right above them like with a pulley device you know like
looking down at Arnold like this and he's like doing push-ups he's like oh come on come on
come on I'm like trying to get pumped up for the scene you know and I'm like oh no
this isn't good you know and uh so they're like all right and action and he's like open
up come on and he starts banging this door and I'm like holding on to this thing and uh
and then they gave me my cue they're like door
door door and I pulled the thing way too hard and went
and he was like
