Jimmy Smits Saves the Day
I work as a background actor in TV and films–a minimum wage job where talking to an actor on set could get you fired (which has happened to many of my friends.) One day I was sat next to Jimmy Smits in a bar scene, and tried to keep to myself.
Next thing I know, my brand new and completely silenced phone is ringing. I didn’t know the alarm would go off even if everything was set to silent. I ran out of the room, only to return to one of the other actors in the scene saying I should be fired.
Jimmy Smits then stands up and announces to the room, “I’m sorry my phone rang, everyone, but I had to take it. It was my agent.” He gave me a little nod as he sat down, and saved my job. Story credit: Reddit / MsDigbyChickenCaesar
