.::DVD Q&A
Entertainment Weekly September 10, 2004 *Special thanks to LMason for posting the following text. How does it feel being a reality TV star, with Dinner for Five (Unrated, 5 hrs., 14 mins., Wellspring)? Is that what I am now? I
like it. I guess it is more reality television
than talk show. We try to create as natural an environment as we can to show
what people are really like.
What's your most memorable Dinner moment? Rod Steiger talking about
his experience on On the Waterfront with
Brando.
His complaint about Brando's onset aloofness was surprising.
Rod held on to his frustration for decades, when Waterfront clearly
launched his career. He worked on a legendary film with legendary
people. But famous people have the same stress as everybody else, just
in extraordinary circumstances.
How long do dinners last? We've shot many times
until we've run out of tape, so well over three
hours. But because we wanted to hang around, we'd still go after the
cameras were done.
Any guests have horrible table manners? Kevin James and I are the
two worst, because it turns into an eating
race between us. I think we're the only ones who care more about the
food than the show. --Timothy Gunatilaka
