During the production of The Island of Dr. Moreau (1996), director John Frankenheimer rigged Marlon Brando with a small radio receiver to assist the notoriously lazy actor with his lines.

"He'd be in the middle of a scene and suddenly he'd be picking up police messages," co-star David Thewlis later recalled, "and Marlon would repeat, 'There's a robbery at Woolworths.'" [Big Grin]

The aged actor once put the last touches to his makeup before staggering from his dressing room at curtain time.

"Where's the stage?" he then inquired. "And what's the play!?" [Big Grin]

In a darken theater where the suspenseful mystery story was being staged, a member of the audience suddenly stood up and cried, “Where is the murderer?”

A threatening voice behind her replied, “Right in back of you, if you don’t sit down!”

A medical doctor moonlighted as a theater critic. When he published a critical review of a production of 'Madame Butterfly', the director of the show charged him with "opera rating without a license. [Big Grin]
