that's funny, I'll have to track that down somewhere.
I have a friend who can start laughing out of nowhere and start crying then just stop straight faced, but after about 5 seconds he starts laughing again for real.
He'll do that in class and the teachers hate him for it, he sits next to me in al my courses and I love him for it!
I really want to see that scene though, it sounds hilarious!

Interesting question. I have a friend who hates actors because you can't trust anyone who "pretends for a living." (She had a bad experience with one.) I wouldn't go that far, but I would think that being married to someone, you'd get to know a person and when they're being real or not. Also, I imagine it would be exhausting for the actor to be playing a role all the time. Everyone's got to let down their guard sometime!

Yes, definitely check out that scene, Elizabeth. I laugh every time ... not so much at him laughing but at how fast he stops! It's like he just played a really great trick on you. (Check your local library; if they have a copy of the Masterpiece Theatre series of "I, Claudius" (starring Derek Jacobi and John Hurt); "Epic That Never Was" is on the last disk. And of course, you'll get to see Robert Newton back in 1937 too. (The start of his onscreen "feud" with Emlyn Williams!) Emlyn is so fun as Caligula, probably the role I like him in best after Harry. Totally unhistorical, but he's so over-the-top, it's great. ("Just a little bit sissy, but not too much." lol) I so wish that movie had been completed. It especially gives some fascinating peeks behind the scenes of movie-making. (Emlyn gives a great interview! I only wish he'd have talked about Bob. For someone who worked with him in four different films, he's mysteriously silent about him.)
