In a recent interview, actor J.K. Simmons shares an amusing anecdote about filming a scene in the new movie 'The Comedians' where his character, Milton Berle, engages in a competitive display with Chevy Chase's character. Simmons reveals that he was surprised to learn about the involvement of a prosthetic genital and how it was treated like a valuable instrument on set.
"And then," Simmons said,"The prop guy brought it in its box, like it was a violin, you know, velvet-lined case.”Because we’re children—and not the mature, wise kind of child, who can take in this sort of information with a sober expression and a tiny, resigned nod—there are few things on a movie set we find more amusing than a prosthetic genital.
Amusingly, Simmons made it clear that he didn’t know, going in, that the scene—which occurs as a form of pissing contest between the two generations of comics—was going to involve, uh, prop work. “I didn’t know about it until I got to Atlanta for my few days ,” Simmons says in the interview. “I just assumed the camera was going to be belt-high and everything else left to the imagination. And obviously, you know, it’s not.
