The Method
Cablecar Lemonroll read for the part of Gilligan in his local community theater company’s production of Gilligan’s Island. The audition went reasonably well, but he did not get the part. Instead he got the part of a much older castaway who had been on the island for many years. The passengers of The Minnow find him and scare the bejeepers out of him. Cablecar spent many evenings practicing both of his lines. On opening night he was so consumed by stagefright that he fainted before his first words. The reviews mentioned Cablecar’s very convincing portrayal of a heart attack victim.
