And she loved playing that role. Just put anything on him. He had no discomfort. He would walk around in short underwear if we asked him to. Will Mackenzie : My wife is a choreographer and a dancer. We wanted to hire people who not only could wear the Elizabethan garb, but could do what we call finger choreography. I think it was to a synced track. He was doing it live.
Will Mackenzie : Bruce played the harmonica. He played it live. He played in a band, and he had his little group.
We decided that he should play the harmonica. Curtis Armstrong : No, I think he was lip-synching. Jay Daniel : There may have been some work done on the song in post. Everything was going so fast. I feel like we had a prerecorded version. I know we did the playback. But I feel like he played the harmonica live and sang live. But maybe not. I remember it was late at night and Bruce had a hideous fever. He had a terrible flu of some kind, and his temperature was like or something.
He should have been in a hospital. Jeff Reno : We needed Bruce to have a sidekick in the episode, someone who would marry Bianca. Curtis just worked out perfectly.
It was also the parallel of Dipesto being Bianca and Herbert would be romancing her. Curtis Armstrong : Do I really play any form of Viola at all there? They were still trying to figure out who he was. Viola, if anything, when it came to David would be taking everything much more seriously. He did tend to take everything that David said as being gospel. He looked up to him so much. It was like doing it in a theater where Ms. Dipesto was cast as Bianca.
I was allowed to look pretty and romantic in that episode. Curtis Armstrong : It was like Bruce said later: he referred to Moonlighting as a master class in directing because not only was it shot like a feature film, but it was shot like a different style of feature film every week.
It was written for people who would appreciate that. But at the time you were still doing shows that were done in a style that was recognizable to an audience which was more brought up on classic Hollywood. Suzanne Gangursky : I have worked on series where one show might be expensive but then you tried to make that up on another episode and go under budget to even it out. Bruce took to that rhyming and iambic pentameter so easily.
Curtis Armstrong had done Shakespeare. I had played the character from Taming of the Shrew that was being sent up in this episode. I felt very comfortable with it. Will Mackenzie : Colm Meaney was also in that episode.
He played a bit part. Colm came in as almost an extra, and he was so good we gave him three or four lines. A few months ago in Los Angeles I ran into him in the theater. Curtis Armstrong: I was still unsure about how long this job was going to last.
I was trying to figure out whether I was going to be on Moonlighting anymore so I could say yes or no to the play. I turned the play down. Will Mackenzie : I think the hardest parts were the scenes between Bruce and Cybill. It was hard getting them comfortable. Getting them comfortable with the dialogue and making it as natural as David and Maddie—to me, as a director, that was the hardest part.
The thing that I admired—and they were getting along—was that they wanted it to be good. They learned their lines. They came in prepared. I feel like I got out of there before the real shit hit the fan. It was a pleasure. She was ready, willing, and able to go for that episode. Neil Mandelberg : Roger Bondelli and I were cutting the episode at the same time. So each day we split up the scenes.
We showed each other what we did. Glenn would help bring that to each moment if we missed any of those rhythms as we were cutting. It took a long time to cut. The politics started happening. We had a lot of coordinating. There was a lot of music. There was a lot of effort on everything.
Our sound editors were working like crazy. There were so many components. Security Officer : [to Maddie] What kind of clothes? Maddie Hayes : [to David] What kind of clothes? David Addison : What kind of clothes do you suppose?
Security Officer : What kind of clothes do I suppose would be worn by a man with a mole on his nose? Who knows? David Addison : Did I happen to mention, did I bother to disclose, that this man that we're seeking with the mole on his nose?
I'm not sure of his clothes or anything else, except he's Chinese, a big clue by itself. Maddie Hayes : How do you do that? David Addison : Gotta read a lot of Dr. Security Officer : I'm sorry to say, I'm sad to report, I haven't seen anyone at all of that sort. Not a man who's Chinese with a mole on his nose with some kind of clothes that you can't suppose. So get away from this door and get out of this place, or I'll have to hurt you - put my foot in your face.

The two-time Oscar winner is set to direct the pilot for the Fox period drama The Middle Man, the network announced Friday. Obsessing over TV couples has become quite the hobby for fans. The popular pastime, commonly known as "'shipping," has even grown beyond canon and heterosexual relationships. Sometimes undeniable chemistry between two actors of the same sex can lead to an imagined romantic pairing, a movement known as "slash.
But are fixations like this healthy or does it only lead to more heartbreak? Millions of Sherlock Holmes fans can rest easy; CBS' Holmes adaptation Elementary will pretty much never suffer from the Moonlighting curse and here's hoping that is the last time we'll ever mention those two ideas in the same sentence.
Despite changes, CBS' Elementary captures the spirit of the original Sherlock Holmes After CBS announced that its modern-day adaptation of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's famed detective series would feature a female Watson, fans feared that sexual tension may develop within one of the most iconic partnerships in history.
But they didn't need to worry. Executive producer Rob Doherty promises there will be no romance between the dynamic duo in this iteration, which stars Jonny Lee Miller as the recovering addict and consultant for the NYPD, while his distaff Watson Lucy Liu is a former surgeon who becomes Sherlock's "sober companion.
