Filming The Score, which stars Marlon Brando, Robert De Niro, and Edward Norton, turned out to be a nightmare for Yoda actor Frank Oz.
The Big Picture Frank Oz became a pop culture icon thanks to his work alongside Jim Henson in the 1980s. In addition to providing the vocal and puppet work for beloved characters like The Empire Strikes Back’s Yoda and The Muppet Show’s Fozzie Bear, Oz established himself as a promising filmmaker. After working alongside Henson’s production company to direct films like The Great Muppet Caper and The Dark Crystal, Oz found that he had a knack for live-action comedies.
The Score was pegged as the union of three generations of acting talent. Brando had initiated a newfound realism in American cinema with his performance in classics like A Streetcar Named Desire and On The Waterfront, and De Niro had been the most exciting actors of the 1970s and '80s thanks to his work with Martin Scorsese on Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, and The King of Comedy amongst others.
As the situation grew worse, Oz was forced to turn to his other actors in order to control the situation. After Brando refused to listen to Oz’s direction, De Niro stepped in to guest direct some sequences so that Brando’s work could be completed. Brando continued to play cruel jokes on Oz throughout the film’s production, often wearing underwear on set to make his director feel uncomfortable.
