Oh.

You know, when we were handed the script... I thought, Oh, that's cool. You know, Jerry Jones character comes in and delivers this huge long monologue. And, you know, I came to work and I said, so, uh, who have they got to play Jerry Jones?

You know, I've done this a long time and, and, you know, usually bringing in a non-actor to do something long like that is like, you're really treading on thin ice. But, um, the day of his scene came, we were shooting in a, in a, in an unused wing of a new hospital in Fort Worth. And, um, and, um, We heard a helicopter and somebody said, oh, that must be Jerry arriving.

He'd flown from wherever, Dallas or someplace, and arrived with a small entourage. And they had a room set up for him. We weren't quite ready to shoot with him yet. And the script supervisor, who's been doing this a long time too, she looked at me and kind of rolled her eyes like, boy, that's a lot of words for a non-actor to do.

I didn't do the Game of Thrones episode with Ed Sheeran, but we did have, when I shot the Red Wedding episode, we had the drummer from Coldplay there. We had some other various celebrities who would fly themselves to Belfast just to show up and have a piece. Sometimes they had a line, sometimes they didn't. I was doing a huge battle scene in Spain and we had...

Noah Sondergaard from the Mets showed up. He was a huge fan. And they put him in a full set of armor and gave him a big close-up throwing a spear. And that actually took three or four takes because on action he kind of froze up and didn't throw the spear. Boy, you've got to watch that episode really carefully to catch that two-second close-up of Sondergaard. Thor throwing a spear.
