Behind-the-scenes stories from movies/TV Shows

Recount behind the screens stories you've heard about various TV shows and movies.

On Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, when an earthquake hit the LA area, actor Armin Shimerman left the set to go home to check on his family. But, he frightened quite a few people while doing so, because he was still in his Quark make-up.

Another similair story I heard, but I don't know how true it is, being that it came from the National Enquirer, is that during a break in filming on DS9, Nana Visitor decided to go shopping while still in her Major Kira make-up, and at the department store she went to, an older saleslady saw her, thought something was wrong with her, and was like, "You poor dear, what happened to your nose?", until she had to explain it was make-up and she was an actor on Star Trek.

Heard that when he was fourteen years old, Emilo Estevez accompanied his father Martin Sheen to the Philippines for filming on Apocalypse Now. At one point, he decided to go wander off from the set and went exploring in the jungle for hours. When he came back, he noticed no one was missing him, being like "Where were you? we've been looking for you!", etc. I guess that just shows how much of a mess the behind-the-scenes filming of that movie was.

Andrea Martin, who was originally cast as Moogie (Quark and Rom's mother) on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, did not reprise the role in the character's further appearances because she discovered she was allergic to the latex used in the alien make-up.
