They were pressuring me not to shoot the scene where I make love to Mercy in the grass. Eventually we did shoot it ... we had to go in the grass very deep." If he had trouble with the fuzz, it was even worse with some of the cast. "Berle is one of the great monsters of our time," he says. "You believe he's the Devil because...
