To give the audience the complete experience they're expecting, there is some reinforcement, some playback that everybody's hearing. Sometimes it's background vocals, but sometimes it will be actually vocal tracks. It's so hard to ensure, with no safety net ... you're not gonna get another shot at it, you have to have stability.

The Air Force found they were losing more men on the highways than in the Korean War.

The first scene I ever appeared in, it was the first scene I ever shot [during my] first day on set.
