Like any performer with a career as lengthy as his, David’s had his fair share of excruciating moments on stage. He’s endured accidents and injuries and performed while ill. At times he’s had to scramble his way through versions of improvisational Twister…though at others, he’s deliberately chosen to riff lines of improv to prank his fellow cast and crew members, or tease his audience. And of course he’s endured the dreaded "drying up" - that moment when the next line absolutely refuses to come.
Thank you for sharing! I am not an actor but in my work l was to present and teach at my job. Just prior, l tripped on a purse someone had set on the floor by a chair. I fell and broke my finger but felt obligated to proceed with the presentation as well. The next day l went to the doctor to have it looked after. It was so painful and for several days. I give David such credit for performing amidst that.
So do I. I broke my finger when a wall mirror fell over onto me, and I had to get it stitched up as well as set in a splint. Painful, indeed! It goes to show how much of a trouper DT is.
