Dunno.
Well excuse me, but David would not have made up a story like that. I'm glad you had better experiences with Mr. Randall -- perhaps you were luckier than David in that you didn't have to work with him.
While your tale is anecdotal, one person's "experience" should not be taken as definitive. You were not there, you received the story second hand. I've heard countless "horror" stories about so called difficult actors from second hand sources as in "I know a guy who worked with XYZ and she was a real bitch!". I dismiss such stories myself. I'd heard stories for several years about how "difficult" Kiefer Sutherland was to work with. I worked for one day on the series 24 and he couldn't have been nicer. In fact, he went out of his way to be nice to me. I did see him lose him temper on the set just once but that was because the person his anger was directed at was behaving in a totally unprofessional manner. But no doubt when that person relates that story to others, Sutherland was just being plain mean while withholding the fact that he was behaving unprofessionally. My point being that your friend related his side of the story (quite possibly leaving something out). Mr. Randall might have seen the situation quite differently.
Not to go too far off topic but I was a big fan of 24 and that is in line with what I frequently heard about Sutherland. He was prepared and professional in terms of his job and he quite reasonably wanted the same from everyone else. So if a person was doing their job, he was cool but if they weren't, they might want to watch out.While your tale is anecdotal, one person's "experience" should not be taken as definitive.

Wasnt Stella the voice coach (from hell.) whom Prem banned from the set of River of no Return, after many tantrumsz?
More like "pain-in-the-Strasberg".[...] and in exchange she agreed not to have her pain-in-the-ass acting coach, Paula Strasberg, on the set anymore.
Please, do tell...in what way was Stella Adler a big part of the problem.[...]Stella Adler was a big part of the problem. [...]
From where do you derive your information concerning Stella Adler?Wasnt Stella the voice coach (from hell.) whom Prem banned from the set of River of no Return, after many tantrumsz?
You are correct it was Natasha Lytess.I think that her coach then was Natasha Lytess(a psuedonym btw - her real name was Tala Forman and you can see her on an episode of WHATS MY LINE? under that name on youtube)
Nice research philip*eric.I think that her coach then was Natasha Lytess(a psuedonym btw - her real name was Tala Forman and you can see her on an episode of WHATS MY LINE? under that name on youtube)
