"They were taking my spleen out and I fell asleep on the operating table.

The trouble was they were filming the scene over and over again and focusing on all the doctors operating on me and I was lying there for six hours with my eyes closed and I just drifted off.

I remember waking up mid-way through to hear someone whispering, 'He's fallen asleep'" and the director saying to the cameraman, 'Oh, we'll have to get better guest actors in the next episode.'

I thought that was awful. The conveyor beltness of it was pretty soul destroying as it was, without hearing that from the director."
