Olivia Cooke and LaKeith Stanfield to star in Disney+ fairy tale film

OHMYGOSSIP — Olivia Cooke and LaKeith Stanfield are set to star in a new fairy tale film which will be available on Disney+, the upcoming new television streaming service.
The 25-year-old actress – who is best known for her role as Emma Decody in thriller series ‘Bates Motel’ – and the 27-year-old actor, who rose to fame after he landed a part in Jordan Peele’s hit horror ‘Get Out’, are set to lead an original fairy tale adventure for the platform.

Love Island bosses warn participants about ‘potential downsides’

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘Love Island’ bosses warn participants there will be “potential downsides” when they resume their regular life after the show, and insist there are “no guarantees” they will find fame.
ITV head honchos went before a Commons culture select committee’s inquiry into reality TV yesterday (25.06.19) to share documents issued to Islanders before they head to the villa, which include a 27-page contract and an aftercare form.
And in the contract, Islanders are warned the public may “quickly lose interest” in them if they become famous, and insist the main goal of gong on the show should be “to find love” rather than fame.
It reads: “Taking part in ‘Love Island’ will hopefully be a very positive experience for you. However, when you resume your regular life, there are potential downsides to be aware of.
“If you’re hoping that you will become famous by taking part in the show, there are no guarantees that this will happen. This is a dating show where the main goal is to find love.
“You may find yourself in the public spotlight in ways that you didn’t anticipate, including press interest and negative comments on social media. You could become famous but then find that the public quickly loses interest.
“Your family and friends, as well as your past actions, may also become the subject of negative press attention.”
‘Love Island’ bosses also warn Islanders they will have to “take full responsibility” if they have unsafe sex in the villa.
The contract explains: “If you engage in sex we advise you to practice safe sex. However, if you engage in unsafe sex there are risks you are taking which you take full responsibility for.”
At the inquiry, ITV bosses also had to provide documents sent to participants on the recently axed ‘The Jeremy Kyle Show’.
It comes after the show was taken off air for good last month following the death of participant Steve Dymond, who died from a suspected suicide just over a week after recording an appearance on the programme.
What’s more, ‘Love Island’ is also under the spotlight after two former Islanders, Sophie Gradon, 32, and Mike Thalassitis, 26, took their own lives.

Piers Morgan couldn’t interview psychopath in same room over murder fears

OHMYGOSSIP — Piers Morgan had to interview a “genius” psychopathic killer behind reinforced glass due to fears he might be murdered.
The ‘Good Morning Britain’ presenter came face-to-face with 25-year-old Paris Bennett, who stabbed his four-year-old sister to death when he was just 13 years old, for his new documentary ‘Psychopath with Piers Morgan’, and admitted he was “more worried” about the child murderer than serial killers he’s previously interviewed who have bumped off 20 people.
He said: “I wasn’t allowed in the same room as him. I’ve interviewed serial killers who have killed 12/ 20 people in some circumstances and I’d be two feet away.
“He was considered too dangerous to be in the same vicinity of, he had to be behind reinforced glass.
“He’s so cunning and manipulative and smart that he might just use that opportunity to commit another murder if he meets another human being on the outside.
“It was a very weird experience. There was something about him that was dangerous and menacing.”
During the chat, Piers felt as though he was involved in “psychological combat” with Bennett, after being told the killer would’ve done a lot of research on the ‘Life Stories’ host.
He said: “I have never felt so chilled, in a bad way, as I was by that guy. Because he was so intelligent. IQ of 141, genius level IQ. Very articulate.
“The FBI profilers that we brought into advise us said, ‘He’ll have done his research on you very thoroughly. He’ll try to play you. He’ll be manipulating you.’
“I really felt that. I felt like I was in psychological combat with this guy.”
Piers joked he is sometimes “quite psychopathic” himself on Twitter when his army of loyal followers “vaporise” his trolls.
Speaking on ‘Lorraine’, he added: “I’m very active on Twitter but I like all the rough and tumble. If some spotty geek in a dungeon wants to call me abusive names I don’t care. So long as he can’t spell, so I can correct his spelling.
“My favourite thing on Twitter is when you have ‘tweet deleted’ and, gloriously, minutes later ‘account deleted’.
“Where I’ve literally had them vaporised because my 6.6 million followers go after them so badly they can’t exist anymore, which is probably quite psychopathic of me.”

Moises Arias joins comedy about Pete Davidson’s life

OHMYGOSSIP — Moises Arias, Lou Wilson and Derek Gaines have joined Judd Apatow’s comedy movie about Pete Davidson’s life.
The trio are set to star in unknown roles in the untitled semi-autobiographical film revolving around the ‘Saturday Night Live’ comic, which is set for release on June 19, 2020 and join a growing cast which includes Jimmy Tatro, Marisa Tomei, Bill Burr, Bel Powley and Pamela Adlon.

Pete, 25, grew up in Staten Island, New York City, and lost his firefighter father in the September 11 Twin Towers terror attack, when he was just seven, and the comedian has previously admitted that the death of his parent has greatly influenced his stand-up routines – which he started at the age of 16.
Pete was also previously engaged to Larry David’s daughter, Cazzie David, 25, as well as 25-year-old pop superstar Ariana Grande who he popped the question to after just four weeks of dating.
The stars will also act alongside Maude Apatow – the daughter of director Judd and Leslie Mann – who will play Pete’s on-screen sister in the movie.
Maude has previously featured in her dad’s early films including ‘Knocked Up’, ‘Funny People’ and ‘This is 40’.

Gary Dauberman says Salem’s Lot remake will be ‘true to the story’

OHMYGOSSIP — Gary Dauberman wants his ‘Salem’s Lot’ remake to be as “true to the story” as possible.
The screenwriter – who is responsible for penning some of the biggest hits in the Conjuring Universe such as ‘Annabelle’ and ‘The Nun’ as well as co-writing the 2017 film adaptation of Stephen King’s classic horror novel ‘It’ and its upcoming sequel – is writing the forthcoming big screen adaptation of King’s 1975 book ‘Salem’s Lot’ for New Line Cinema.
Dauberman is “very excited” to be part of the project and insists that he’ll stay as true to the original novel as he possibly can “until it gets a little too unwieldy for a movie” and teased the film will do some “truly scary things with vampires”.
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, he said: “I like to be as true to the story as I possibly can until it gets a little too unwieldy for a movie. I’m very, very excited to be a part of [‘Salem’s Lot’] and tackle it. It hasn’t had the big screen treatment yet, which is how I felt about ‘It’. It’s so fun to play around with vampires and make something truly scary with vampires.”
Dauberman’s latest film ‘It Chapter Two’ will hit cinemas on September 6 and he explained how “relieved” he was when King, 71, told him how much he likes the final edit of the sequel.
He said: “I can’t explain to you the relief I feel when he signs off on something or likes the work you’ve done. That’s the first person I’m trying to please when I’m adapting these things. It is an enormous amount of relief. I know I’m never going to be able to please everybody, so I just hope that he’s pleased. It really is a huge relief, and everything else for me is a bonus.”
Dauberman is working with producer James Wan on the film of ‘Salem’s Lot’ – which was King’s first book to top the New York Times Bestseller list.
The tome follows a writer who returns to his childhood home, the town of Jerusalem’s Lot, where he discovers everyone he used to know is now a vampire.
‘Salem’s Lot’ was previously adapted into a 1979 miniseries and starred David Soul as the writer and Rob Lowe starred in a more recent adaptation made by TNT in 2004.

McKenna Grace to star in and produce Rabbit Cake

OHMYGOSSIP — McKenna Grace is to star in ‘Rabbit Cake’.
The 13-year-old actress – who rose to fame after her critically acclaimed performance in ‘Gifted’ and portraying a young Tonya Harding in ‘I, Tonya’ – has teamed up with Amazon to produce and star in the big-screen adaptation of Annie Hartnett’s 2017 debut novel, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The ‘Annabelle Comes Home’ star will play a young girl called Elvis Babbitt with a keen sense of science she uses to investigate her mother’s death while finding comfort in the people and animals inhabiting her small town of Freedom, Alabama.
According to the book’s synopsis it is an “exploration of grief, family, and the endurance of humour after loss”.
‘To All the Boys I’ve Ever Loved Before’ filmmaker Susan Johnson will direct and produce from a script by Allie Hagan.
Grace will produce along with Alix Madigan and her Mad Dog Films banner and the deal could make the ‘Captain Marvel’ star the youngest ever producer on a major feature-length film.
Marsai Martin, 14, currently holds the title after acting as an executive producer on 2019 comedy film ‘Little’, which starred Regina Hall, Issa Rae and Marsai herself, and follows an overbearing boss (Hall) who is transformed into the child version of herself (Martin).
Marsai previously spoke of the role and insisted that regardless of her age, there is “no limit” to her abilities when it comes to making a film.
She said: “It doesn’t matter if you are four or 84, there’s no limit to what you can do and if you prove that you can do it, you don’t have to wait … A 13 year old created this film and it turned out to be a wonderful, loving and fulfilling film.”

Emily Atack was on ‘man ban’ before hooking up with Rob Jowers

OHMYGOSSIP — Emily Atack was on a “man ban” before she hooked up with new boyfriend Rob Jowers.
The ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!’ star was taking a break from dating because she wanted to be more “career-focused”, but she then met the movie producer at Jack Whitehall’s BRIT Awards afterparty in February.
She said: “I don’t even know if Jack knows this, but I went to Jack Whitehall’s afterparty at the BRITs.
“It just happened really randomly. I was actually on a man ban.
“I was like, ‘Right, I need a clear mind, career focused, everything.’
“And yeah it just kind of happened.”
And their union may be extended at some point, as the ‘Inbetweeners’ star “definitely” wants kids and says people always tell her she would be “a good mum”.
She said: “I definitely want a baby. Absolutely, I’ve always wanted to be a mum. People who actually know me know it’s something I wanted.
“And people think I would be a good mum. I’ve got a lot of love in my heart. I was smothered with love.”
The 29-year-old actress is currently starring in a new show ‘Emily Atack: Adulting’, which documents her trying to juggle her successful career with the societal pressures facing women of her age, and Emily didn’t realise how much of a “potty mouth” she has until she watched the programme back.
Speaking on ‘Lorraine’, she added: “It’s on at 10pm because I have a potty mouth. God, I didn’t realise how much of a potty mouth I have until I watched it back.
“But what I’m learning about myself is I do speak very openly and honestly, but I don’t tell myself that’s what I’m going to do.
“I naturally just do that. And I get in trouble for it sometimes.
“But I’m not embarrassed to talk about all these things.”

Haiesha Mistry worked 5 jobs a day to fund acting auditions

OHMYGOSSIP — Haiesha Mistry used to work five jobs a day to fund her acting auditions.
The ‘Hollyoaks’ star – who has portrayed Yasmine Maalik since April 2017 – was left flabbergasted after reading some advice suggesting actors should hire a studio to record self-tapes, insisting not every budding star can afford such a luxury.
She wrote on Twitter: “I read a tweet recently about how actors should hire a studio to do self tapes! Like what is this nonsense?! Once I was holding down 5 jobs including a day job to fund auditions etc so where these pp think we get the money from I have no idea… (sic)”
Haiesha has called for stars to “ignore the bad advice” and “listen to the good”.
She added: “Fellow Actors please ignore the BAD advice and listen to the good! (sic)”
The ‘Oaks’ star also pointed people in the direction of “real advice” from Hollyoaks’ casting director Peter Hunt.
In the tweet Haiesha referred to, Peter wrote: “Lovely actors… just to let you know I’m more than happy with selftapes shot on a smartphone! You DON’T need to spend lots of money having them done professionally! My main advice is try and get it landscape, a plain background, somewhere with a bit of good light! The end (sic)”
Former ‘Coronation Street’ and ‘Emmerdale’ actress Hayley Tamaddon appeared to agree with his comments, as she tweeted back numerous thumbs up emojis.
Casting director Andy Pryor – who has worked on the likes of ‘Gentleman Jack’ and ‘Doctor Who’ – tweeted: “Actors, please beware dud advice on Twitter, encouraging you to waste money. You definitely don’t need to hire casting studios to self-tape.(sic)”

Samia Longchambon ‘signs new Coronation Street contract’

OHMYGOSSIP — Samia Longchambon has signed a new ‘Coronation Street’ deal.
The 33-year-old actress – who has played Maria Connor since 2000 – is said to have put pen to paper on a contract to keep her on the ITV soap until next year.
An insider told The Sun Online: “Samia has just signed a new deal to keep her on the cobbles until 2020.
“Bosses were determined not to lose another major cast member.
“We’re sure viewers will also be pleased to hear that Samia will be sticking around for the foreseeable future.”
Samia’s new deal comes just weeks after Daniel Brocklebank (Billy Mayhew) and Melanie Hill (Cathy Matthews) signed new cobbles contracts.
He said: “I just signed another contract so I will be definitely sticking around for at least another 12 months, yes.”
Melanie added: “I’ve just signed another contract and I’m very happy there.”
This comes after a number of ‘Corrie’ stars announced within a few weeks of each other that they are leaving the soap.
Kym Marsh (Michelle Connor) and her on-screen partner Tristan Gemmill (Robert Preston) are both due to depart Weatherfield, as are Faye Brookes (Kate Connor) and Lucy Fallon (Bethany Platt).
Lucy previously admitted she would love it if Bethany headed back to Italy, where she spent half of her life.
She said: “If it was up to me she would leave in a really nice way, just going to Italy or something. Smiling and happy, no bad things happening. But we’ll see …”
Bhavna Limbachia (Rana Habeeb) announced her departure back in January, and her character was killed off when the Underworld factory roof collapsed on top of her on her and Kate’s wedding day in March.

Molly-Mae Hague ‘fuming’ with ‘money-grabbing’ claim

OHMYGOSSIP — Love Island’s Molly-Mae Hague is left “fuming” on tonight’s (26.06.19) episode after she is accused of being with Tommy Fury for the £50,000 prize money.
The 19-year-old social media influencer is annoyed when during their latest challenge, Online Buzz – in which Islanders have to fill in the blanks of fan tweets to discover who they are about – it is claimed she is more interested in the ITV2 show’s prize pot than the 20-year-old boxer.
Lucie Donlan reads out the fan tweet, which says: “Nah BLANK deserves more than BLANK she doesn’t like him, she likes 50k.”
And Tom Walker correctly guesses the blanks are about Tommy and Molly-Mae, much to her fury.
Speaking in the Beach Hut afterwards, she rages: “Wow. I’m actually fuming. I’m annoyed because I just feel like to bring money into it, what am I meant to say? I’m speechless to be honest.”
After the challenge, Tommy asks some of the lads: “You don’t think she’s playing a game do you?”
Danny tells him: “We’d tell you.”
Tommy asks Anton if he thinks Molly-Mae is playing a game, and the 24-year-old gym owner replies: “It’s not for me to say, mate, it’s got nothing to do with me.
“You know what your relationship is like, it’s not for me to say.”
Later on in the ep, Lucie hints she could make a play for Tommy.
Speaking to some of the girls, she says: “It’s mad because I’ve had friends as guys and at stages, I have actually ended up dating them at the end.”
Maura Higgins asks if that could ever happen with Tommy, suggesting: “Never say never?”
Lucie replies: “We can say that. Obviously we get on.”
Elaborating in the Beach Hut, Lucie says: “Obviously I went on a date with him so I was considering it back then so I mean, you can never really say never.
“Sometimes when you’re best friends with guys, sometimes you end up together so I’m never going to say ‘No.’ ”

John Boyega to star in Steve McQueen BBC drama series

OHMYGOSSIP — John Boyega and Letitia Wright are to star in a new Steve McQueen series for BBC One.
The ‘Star Wars: The Last Jedi’ actor and the ‘Black Panther’ actress will join forces with the ‘Widows’ director for ‘Small Axe’, a London-set 1970s anthology, which has begun shooting on location in the capital.
The six hour-long episodes will tell five stories, with the first told across two episodes, set within London’s West Indian community from the late 1960s to the early 80s.
Steve said: “I felt these stories needed to be shared. I wanted to re-live, re-evaluate and investigate the journeys that my parents and the first generation of West Indians went on to deliver me here today calling myself a black British person.
“What’s important about our stories is that they are local but at the same time global.
“I think audiences will identify with the trials, tribulations and joy of our characters as well as reflecting on the present environment in which we find ourselves.
“The dynamic nature of the series allows us to confront injustice in the face of adversity hence the proverb Small Axe, ‘If you are the big tree, we are the small axe’ (Bob Marley).”
‘Line of Duty’ actress Rochenda Sandall is also part of the cast, as are Malachi Kirby, Shaun Parkes, Alex Jennings, and Jack Lowden.
The hour-long stories have been conceived and written by Steve alongside Alastair Siddons and Courttia Newland.
Piers Wenger, controller of BBC Drama, added: “It is an honour to have Steve McQueen, along with this stellar cast, tell these important and inspiring stories on BBC One.
“‘Small Axe’ will air on BBC One next year, and this powerful drama is not to be missed.”

Danny John-Jules: I was always professional on Strictly Come Dancing

OHMYGOSSIP — Danny John-Jules has insisted he was nothing but “professional” during his time on ‘Strictly Come Dancing’.
The 58-year-old actor competed in the BBC Latin and ballroom dance competition last year, and when he was voted off the show after eight weeks, he was accused of “bullying” his dance partner Amy Dowden, with some critics claiming he was “arrogant” backstage.
Now, Danny has broken his silence on the allegations against him, as he says he did “everything truthfully and honestly” whilst on the show, and made sure to “dance [his] a** off” every week.
He said: “With me and Amy, it was always professional. I came in professional and I left professional. As many times as I had Amy dripping off me and I was dripping off her, at no point did we ever have a conversation that wasn’t about dance.
“I didn’t have to broadcast what happened. I didn’t want to wash anybody’s dirty laundry in public. I did everything truthfully and honestly and I wouldn’t do anything differently.
“I was expecting [the backlash] because people always talk c*** about me. But I did exactly what I was hired to do and what I promised to do, which was to dance my a*** off.”
The ‘Red Dwarf’ star says he “excelled beyond and above the call of duty” during his time on the show, and insists he has “no regrets”.
Speaking to The Sun Online’s Big Interview, he said: “I was never told The Dancing Show was reality TV, but I found out it was one once I was on it. I was the oldest person there, including the professionals, but still excelled beyond and above the call of duty. I have no regrets.”
Despite the claims surrounding his time on ‘Strictly’, Danny hasn’t let it hold him back, as appearing on the show has helped to reignite his passion for live performance, which he has now put into a new one-man show entitled ‘I’ve Gotta Be Me’.
The actor is set to head on an 11-date UK tour of the show – which is all about Rat Pack legend Sammy Davis Junior – and even took the name from the song he waltzed to ‘Strictly Come Dancing’.

Molly-Mae Hauge: Lucie Donlan needs to ‘tone it down’

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘Love Island’s Molly-Mae Hague thinks Lucie Donlan needs to “tone it down a little bit” when it comes to Tommy Fury.
The 20-year-old social media influencer is currently paired up with the hunky boxer on the ITV2 reality show, but Lucie – who was coupled with Tommy for a while before forming a relationship with Joe Garratt, who has since been dumped from the villa – could be set to change that as she’s got her sights set on rekindling their romance.
And on Wednesday’s (26.06.19) episode, Molly-Mae said the 21-year-old surfer needs to back off, as she’s not letting Tommy go any time soon.
Speaking to Tommy – who is good friends with Lucie – Molly-Mae said: “Sometimes she just needs to like tome it down a little bit, and remember that you and me are coupled up, not you and her.”
Tommy, also 20, then insisted he doesn’t have eyes for Lucie outside of their friendship, as he replied: “I’m here for you, that’s it.”
Meanwhile, Lucie admitted she feels as though she’s already “lost” Tommy, because she can see how close he is with Molly-Mae.
Speaking to Maura Higgins and Arabella Chi, she said: “At the moment I feel like, so distant from him. You can see how loved up he is. I literally feel like I’ve kind of lost him a little bit.”
But the blonde beauty hasn’t given up hope, as she said there have been male friends of hers in the past who have crossed the line over into being her boyfriend.
She said: “It’s mad because I’ve had friends as guys and at stages, I have actually ended up dating them at the end.”
Maura then asked if that could ever happen with Tommy, as she said: “Never say never?”
And Lucie replied: “We can say that. Obviously we get on.”
‘Love Island’ continues on Thursday (27.06.19) at 9pm on ITV2.

Trust Me axed

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘Trust Me’ has been axed.
The BBC One medical drama’s life support has been switched off after the ratings reportedly dropped for the second series when Jodie Whittaker – the leading lady of the first season – didn’t return to the show after landing the role of the first female Time Lord in ‘Doctor Who’.
A BBC spokesman said: “We are very proud of ‘Trust Me’ but it won’t return.
“We thank the brilliant cast and crew and look forward to working with Dan Sefton in future.”
The first series saw Jodie play nurse Cath Hardacre who lost her job for whistleblowing, before stealing the identity of her doctor friend and landing a role as an A&E doc.
The second season told the story of the rehab of a paralysed soldier Jamie McCain (Alfred Enoch) who began investigating suspicious deaths in the hospital.
A source told The Sun newspaper’s Bizarre TV column: “After Jodie left, there was then a feeling something miraculous was needed to keep viewers.
“Producers tried to keep the casting thrilling but, with a Tuesday night slot also proving difficult, they failed to attract audiences.
“The second outing had a good actors, with John Hannah and Ashley Jensen, but once Jodie left the ratings went with it.”
In May, creator Dan Sefton revealed the second series had to be completely reworked after Jodie signed up to ‘Doctor Who’.
Asked when he found out about Jodie’s sci-fi role, he said: “The same time as everybody else. I remember exactly where I was because it was the match at Wimbledon, wasn’t it?
“And I was watching the announcement – I remember when she walked out of the TARDIS, and I was like, ‘It’s f***ing her, Jesus!’
“I texted Nicola [Shindler, of Red Production Company], like, ‘Did you know?’ I didn’t know. I was kind of numb. It was like, ‘Oh. Now what happens?’ But you know, good luck to her.”

New Red Dwarf to film this year

OHMYGOSSIP — A new series of ‘Red Dwarf’ will be filmed this year.
Danny John-Jules – who played Cat in the sci-fi comedy series – has confirmed he will reunite with original cast members Craig Charles, Chris Barrie, and Robert Llewellyn in the coming months to work on new episodes of the cult show, which originally ran on the BBC from 1988 to 1999 and was relaunched on Dave in 2009.
However, Danny admitted he hasn’t yet received a script for the new series.
He told The Sun Online’s Big Interview: “All we know is it’s going to be done by the end of the year.
“We haven’t seen a script yet, it’s all in negotiation.
“But I’m never worried about Red Dwarf. I’ve never been so comfortable in a gig.
“The fans are over the moon, spinning cartwheels because unless you’re watching Netflix, what are you going to watch as a sitcom in England.”
Earlier this month Danny reunited with his co-stars in London but was coy about their plans.
He shared a video on Instagram and simply said: “We’re not allowed to say a damn word about what we’re doing.”
Before work starts on ‘Red Dwarf’, Danny is keeping busy with his 11-date one-man show, ‘I’ve Gotta Be Me’ – which portrays the life of Rat Pack star Sammy Davis Jr. – and the actor admitted going on tour with the production is “daunting”.
He said: “It’s daunting.
“I’m only telling the story, I’m not actually playing him, but you can’t tell his story without song, dance, impersonations or jokes.”
The most recent series of ‘Red Dwarf’ aired on Dave in October 2017.

Billy Drago dead aged 73

OHMYGOSSIP — Billy Drago has died aged 73.
A representative for the ‘Untouchables’ actor confirmed to The Wrap that he passed away on Monday (24.06.19) in Los Angeles after suffering a stroke.
As well as starring opposite Kevin Costner, Robert De Niro and Andy Garcia in Brian De Palma’s gangster classic – in which he played Frank Nitti – Drago was also best known for appearing in Clint Eastwood western ‘Pale Rider’.
He portrayed Deputy Mather in the 1985 motion picture, which featured Eastwood as The Preacher and Michael Moriarty as Hull Barret.
More recently, Drago starred in the 2006 remake of ‘The Hills Have Eyes’, and appeared in ‘Masters of Horror’ in the same year.
The actor previously admitted he didn’t intend to appear in so many horror movies, and was simply on the lookout for “interesting roles” throughout his career.
Speaking in 2011, he said: “I like to be scared,
“I tend not to think ‘Oh, this is another scary movie.’ I just look for interesting roles.”
But he did make an exception with ‘The Hills Have Eyes’, in which he played Papa Jupiter, admitting he asked for a role in the reboot.
He said: “The only real exception to that was ‘The Hills Have Eyes’.
“I’d seen and loved the original when it came out, and I actually called them up for that one and asked if they could find something for me to do.
“I didn’t care what the part was. I just wanted to be in it, to complete that circle of being there at the beginning then being in the new version.”
