Kevin Kline, actor, A Fish Called Wanda

I figured that the ingenious English special effects guy would have some amazing fake fish that would wiggle in my hand and [then] I'd fake eat them. I got there on the day [we filmed that scene] and they said [imitates British accent], "Uh, if you could give it a bit of a shake, it will look like it's wiggling." [laughs] And that's what I did! It was just little rubber thing. They also made some other thing out of gelatin, but of course, once they went in the water they'd then come apart in my hand. It got terribly frustrating. By the end I was like, "oh just get me a real fish," but that would really have wrecked havoc on the continuity.
