Thomas Middleditch (above) prepping to play VIRGIL BOTTOMS while in HMU. Thomas is one of the most brilliant minds I’ve ever worked with, he’s unbelievably quick. In one of the scenes in the Dream Chamber Thomas dropped his line - but he didn’t stop to reset or call for the line - He, as Virgil, went all the way around the room yelling at each member of the Dream Corp staff - circling back to himself where he picked up right on the line he dropped. It was one of the most impressive things I’ve seen any actor do. His mind is a fountain.
A lot of jokes end up on the cutting room floor because of the quarter hour format. One that never made it was the fact Virgil has TWO LEFT HANDS.
