The Slip in Scrooged
What’s a sure-fire sign of a great comedy actor? Probably the ability to not break character and roll with whatever is going on. That’s just what Bill Murray did in this scene from the Christmas favorite, Scrooged.
As part of the scene, Bill Murray needed to throw water on a waiter and then exit the shot. As he left, he slipped on that very water he had thrown at the waiter. You can notice him consider breaking character and restarting the scene, but instead, he powers through. His ability to carry on ends up saving the scene and is no doubt a testament to his ability not to crack up!
