You mustn't upstage the bride.
Even though I'm an actor, I've gone to productions where there has been someone whose work is known in film, and you can't take your eyes off them. It unbalances the production. Whether they're good or not, it doesn't matter.
Suddenly I am furious, that with my life on the line, they don’t even have the decency to pay attention to me. That I’m being upstaged by a dead pig.
I don't think Will does get upstaged because his reaction is always funnier than what is actually happening. That is also the reason Tommy is funnier than Will.
Obviously you do not want to upstage. Some people work like that. But I have never been that upstaging kind. I wouldn't want to upset anyone.
I've been around where I knew other actors were going to steal the scene, and I don't compete with them.
Like with Berle, he was always trying to steal the scene, get a little extra.
Criticism shouldn't be a performance that upstages the work it's talking about.
If you've chosen someone to be in your bridal party, she should be a good enough friend that she does not want to upstage you.
Opening for certain acts after so many years of headlining obviously made us resentful. It was kind of hard watching all these bands, who I really believed didn't deserve to be on top musically, going ahead and pushing us out.
