Eric Dane's posthumous memoir reveals he fought Josh Duhamel on the set of NBC's "Las Vegas" and called him a "p*ssy ass actor." “We’re about to film a fight scene. I ask the lead, Josh Duhamel, to please not grab me by the tie during the scene. He promises me he won’t. The director calls ‘Action,’ and Josh pulls on my tie. Fire rips through my neck. I go, ‘Whoa, whoa, whoa, we have to stop.’ He apologizes, I grunt from the pain, and then, take two. He pulls on my tie again... Take three, and son of a b*tch, he grabs my f*cking tie again. I whip off my suit coat and I say, ‘Let’s go, you p*ssy ass actor.’ I ball my hands into fists and I come at him. Nobody calls ‘Cut,’ the camera keeps rolling, and to the world who sees the whole nasty scene, I’m the aggressor, the hothead, I start the fight... Josh and I have seen each other since and we’re cool. But I want to say it again. Josh, I was wrong. I should’ve walked away. I’m sorry, dude.” (via EW)

Judi Dench says it was Daniel Craig’s idea to kill off M in “Skyfall”: “Ever since ‘GoldenEye’ ... I’d been begging them to let me out from behind my desk. Well, they did finally let me out from behind my desk... and they shot me. [Laughs.] Apparently, it was Daniel’s idea to have me killed. But first I had to suffer the indignity of being sacked by Ralph Fiennes. Arsehole. It was reported in the press that I’d cried when they told me I was being replaced. Of course I didn’t cry. Why on earth would I cry after twenty glorious years and eight Bond films — which, by the way, is one more than Roger Moore, the longest-running 007 to date.” Read the full profile from @MarlowNYC:
