Some actors you work through every beat with, others you just try to create an environment they feel free in. John Ratzenberger came in with a good idea of how to play this -- my work with him beyond some technical cues was to structure the gags and dialogue a bit.

TV Land - ‘Classroom’
Didn’t know what to expect with the cast, though in hindsight, it should have been obvious. No rehearsal time, one day to shoot multiple scenes, blah, blah, blah -- and the cast was game, quick, and well, hyper-professional. Talented actors who’ve had long term careers, what a shock.

TV Land - ‘Locker Room’
Same story as the other TV Land stuff -- no rehearsal, two hours to shoot, etc. A good plan, and the experienced, quickly up-to-speed cast makes it work. Some hilarious outtakes the we unfortunately couldn’t fit in.
