So what was it like playing the evil Butler of the film Clue?? I recall the filming on a friends remote mansion was quite a thrill. The worst part of the entire event was shooting the dinner scene over and over again. Everyone one was seated while I stood with a plate for over an hour as they reset the shot from different angles.

Mine was rather difficult since I was eliminated midway through the movie! It did give me a chance to deliver my deep maniacal laugh. It is my gift, and on a job interview, my curse.
