A bit-part actor finally got his first leading
role in a major film.
.
In one scene the actor had to jump off a high diving board in to a swimming pool.
.
He climbed to the top of the board, looked down and promptly climbed down again.
.
"what's the matter?" asked the director.
.
"I can't jump from that board" said the actor.
.
"Do you know there's only one foot of water in that pool?"
.
"Yes" said the director. "We don't want you to drown, you know."
