Tom Hanks was a young stage actor in the Repertory Theatre early in his career. One morning, all the cast were late for rehearsals because there were too many beers.
“We were just starting the Hamlet show, and the next day we all had to rehearse The Taming of the Shrew. But! We all went to the party the night before, so everyone was drunk and tired.”
“Everyone was sleepy and appeared around 10 o’clock.” [Director] Dan Sullivan scolded everyone because no one understood their lines
“Whoa, whoa!! We only have three weeks to get this show up and running, and you’re not even trying. I can’t perform my job if you guys can’t do yours, for crying out loud. You guys need to be on time, know your lines, and have a plan! Let’s take a break and get a cup of coffee. If you have to, chew it. It’s right out of the jar!”
The poor director then cheered everyone by saying: “However, this talk was well worth it for future superstar Tom, who confessed that the lesson this incident taught him had remained with him.”
Tom Hank was yelled at by a director for being hungover at the set, and this incident not only changed his life but gave him a lifelong lesson. This is what he has to say about it:
“At that time, I was 20 years old, but the lesson had a big impact on me …” The professional’s actor who had been in business for 20 years wasn’t yelled at.
“Throughout my career, I have seen ups and downs. But I have held onto one thing and that is, “Know your lines, be on time, and plan”.
