Marenna may only have one very special line in the movie but apparently the lines he came up with under his breath about movie set life didn’t escape the filming crew who began cracking up when they were caught on their camera sound system. But it was a lot of fun and I eventually got it right”. “It was long work, hours over a two day shoot just for one scene. “Sounds simple right? Well, I guess it is if you’re an actor! I can’t tell you how many times I flubbed that line or didn’t step onto the deck just right,” Marenna says.
