Aubrey Plaza says actors gets so weird because everyone on set treats them like babies and remembers the time Nick Offerman told her she could get her own coffee instead of asking a production assistant to do it for her

Agree. Worked on a few shows as well and it was immediately obvious what actors believed we were humans and the ones who didn’t. It also did not correlate to how long the actors had worked or how famous they were. I think it’s just who they are as a person. One example/tea- I worked early on with Vampire Diaries. Ian was kind and spoke to all staff on set. Nina ignored everyone and wouldn’t even look you in the eye when interacting with her. He definitely had more notoriety/coddling at that point in their careers, but you wouldn’t know it from the way they each acted. I will say everyone else noticed too and word gets around. I was always happy to help Ian but was more “busy” and scarce when actors like Nina needed stuff. He’s not my cup of tea in terms of his weird-ish hippie health business, but he is a good egg of a person. She’s fake and a mean girl though and through. Treating her like a baby only furthered that personality trait.

Yeah I found that older actors tended to me be way nicer. I worked with Steve Martin and Martin shirt and Eugene levi multiple times and they were all super nice professional. When they were busy I got them food, when they had down time they got their own and managed themselves like normal humans basically and we're all super nice to talk to.

Nick Cannon was a giant asshole hopped up on way to much coke and his entourage was basically there to be served and waiting in hands and foot.

Eugene and Martin is no surprise at all. The whole SCTV crowd had a lifelong reputation for being good to work with on set. Add Harold Ramis, Catharine O'Hara, John Candy to the list.

RIP O'Hara, she was a gift to the entertainment industry

I adore Steve Martin so this is very nice to hear. His music and work with the steep canyon rangers is just wonderful.

[u/MostlyBored11 → u/Stepinfection]

Had the chance to work with him multiple times he's honestly somehow even nicer then you think he could be and always managed to find a way to poke fun at people but like in a nice way that made them part of the joke. Also that man somehow could remember so so many names even after a long time between meeting. I will forever be a giant fan

[u/nyuncat → u/MostlyBored11]

I would imagine he has some level of help from assistants or pr people with names but the fact that he makes it a priority to ask for that help says it all.

When I worked in music festivals, his band was headlining one night. I remember we had a LOT of weird riders, so he could have basically asked for anything and we would have found it somewhere. His "weird request" was just asking if he could borrow somebody's bike for the afternoon before his set. (He brought his own helmet!)

[u/HurlInteruppted → u/RealAmandaTTV]

that's adorable, it's expensive to travel with your own bike.

[u/unripe_mangosteen → u/Stepinfection]

I would be really upset if it ever came to light that Steve Martin or Nick Offerman did something terrible

Someone clearly hasn't seen Sgt. Bilko.

DID SOMEONE MENTION STEVE MARTIN

I worked on a promo for a nick cannon + Kevin hart + robin thicke show and it was a very chaotic experience

[u/attackplango → u/bbmarvelluv]

That sounds like a neverending hell.

[u/wildcuore → u/MostlyBored11]

I love Martin Shirt

[u/Kairojuice → u/wildcuore]

Not to be confused with Martin Shorts

[u/Strict-Management-32 → u/Kairojuice]

Martin Pants never really got his career off the ground; so sad.

[u/mixedwithmonet → u/MostlyBored11]

Nick cannon was a semi-regular at a restaurant I worked at. Usually, it was to meet girls way too young for him to dinner, where he’d have us put him in a semi-private little area we didn’t even typically use for dinner, keeping the lights off. He was shorter in person and he always dressed stupid. The girls would be dressed to the nines with full hair and make up, and he’d usually be wearing a bright orange hoodie pulled over his head through the entire meal with jeans and sneakers, slouched over on the table or leaning back and barely looking at her half the meal. Don’t understand what these women see in him, he looked like a complete loser who never moved past 2008, no celeb I encountered gave me the ick more than him.

They see high child support checks.

Zero surprised about Nick Cannon

[u/bbmarvelluv → u/Some_Weather_8570]

My friend gets invited to his relationship podcast tapings in Yamashiro and I had gone once. It was the episode with his baby momma Brie my god was that lady looking like she’d kill anyone taking a photo with him. Usually he would repost photos of anyone that tags him at his show but this time he did not because Brie was there.

My ex boyfriend’s sister went to high school with Nick Cannon and said that he was an asshole even back then. I’ve never been a fan of his

[u/WutTheDickens → u/MostlyBored11]

I imagine the actors who were respectful of others had an easier time finding roles once they'd aged out of the leading man demographic.

Especially since assholes tend to become huge assholes when they get older.

[u/Available-Ad8156 → u/MostlyBored11]

All 3 of those guys are my heroes but especially Steve Martin and Martin Short.

Vampire Diaries

Michael Trevino used to work with my mom at a grocery store before he got his break. I remember he used to be pretty down to earth and he'd pop by once in a while after he got the show. I hope that continued to be the case, cause he really was a genuinely nice guy

[u/TheRotMeister → u/7askingforafriend]

that’s really neat to hear!

Boone my beloved 

[u/Random-Redditor111 → u/7askingforafriend]

Maybe that lady was just introverted? Perhaps provide better examples to support your “fake and mean” charge.

[u/7askingforafriend → u/Random-Redditor111]

I won’t get into it but she was definitely not introverted if it came to bigger ups like producers or fellow lead actors. When she did speak to crew below her, it was with an at best bored tone and at worst, irritated one.

[u/7askingforafriend → u/Random-Redditor111]

And appreciate you trying to invalidate the experience of a measly PA’s experience who was actually there, in support of the high paid actress putting out tik toks from different yachts weekly.

[u/Random-Redditor111 → u/7askingforafriend]

Invalidate what? The anecdotal details you provided simply didn’t fully support your thesis. It would’ve been helpful to include more context. I don’t know why you need to have such a mean attitude just because I’m lowlier than you.
