| Robert Stack in the original Broadway run of LA CAGE AUX FOLLES. He was in rehearsal and about to take over the role of Georges. The creatives came to see run-through and it was an ultimate disaster. He was let go immediately and never even performed in front of an audience. | |

| Mr. Daniels screamed at an ASM during the first run thru in the rehearsal hall and then rampaged around the halls when the Director told him he, "owed the SM an apology". He called the replacement PSM the "C" word, told the PSM "he'd seen better stage management in college productions", told Gary Beach he was "the worst kind of actor there is" during the filming of the TV commercial and shrieked at the Marquis Theater House Manager in frontof his entire house staff after a matinee. He also demanded the temperature on stage be kept below AEA rules for his own comfort. And last but not least he stopped the show in the middle of the 1st Act in a preview and announced that he was "indisposed" and that the show would continue with his Understudy in 5 minutes and walked off. P.S. John Hilner, (his Understudy) who had never had a rehearsal did a fine job! |

| ...goodness... what a terror he sounded like. Was he more well behaved in the 2016 Noises Off revival? | |

| Same question. Fierstein wouldn’t even use his name in his memoir. Instead, he’s especially generous to Goulet, who replaced him opposite the adored Gary Beach, and faced memory problems. | |

| As I remember he was clashing with the rest of the cast being difficult so they let him go. | |
