A Series of Unfortunate Events
Can you think of a better actor for Count Olaf than Jim Carrey? Us either! Anyway, when he acted in this film adapted from the books, something unplanned happened. While filming, Carrey was out of character asking the crew, “Wait! Let me do that one more time! Give me the light again. Quickly, while it’s fresh in my mind!” Even this bizarre off-script request for another take fit Olaf, the crazy narcissist in A Series of Unfortunate Events. If it works, it works!

Inglorious Basterds
Of course, when we think back on Inglorious Basterds, we can’t help but hear the hysterical accent that Brad Pitt put on. Yet, for this moment, we aren’t focusing on Pitt. Remember when Colonel Hans Landa (Christoph Waltz) begins to choke Bridget (Diane Kruger)? Well, that’s not exactly what happened…Turns out, that the hands we see choking actress Diane Kruger were the hands of director Quentin Tarantino! It was Tarantino who wanted to demonstrate to Christoph Waltz on how to do the scene. Maybe that’s why Kruger’s fear was so authentic. In fact, she did faint after the scene. Must have been a bit scary to get strangled by her director!
