'I didn’t learn I'd be naked until I got there for the costume fitting.'
I actually started this post last Christmas. I knew it was time to feature Die Hard, but ended up doing an Actors & Skin piece on actor Hart Bochner who was in the first film. (HERE:) I couldn't let the memorable scene go however, so saved it for this year.
I was still a teenager when I first saw the film on VHS, and vividly remember being shocked when early in the film, actor William Sadler pops up doing some naked tai chi. I didn't know who Sadler was at the time, but have since seen him in many of television and movie roles. I'm sure you have to. The talented actor seems to be in everything, including hits like Bill & Ted's Bogus Adventure, The Green Mile, Disturbing Behavior and The Shawshank Redemption
'I got to the costume fitting and asked what I was wearing in the scene. We then tried on everything else, and then Renny [Harlin] said, “Actually, I was thinking you would be nude.” And I said, “Well, if you push that scene off until the end of the movie and get me in the gym, I’ll see what I can do.'
