For some, there would be an adjustment period. And some of the local people said I need to go to the local vegetarian restaurant. So Hawk Howard W. Koch Jr. Well, they have a long list of vegetables and they are all deep fried. There was nothing vegetarian about this restaurant except that they had a lot of vegetables.
Actually, the long trip to the Lone Star State was almost for naught. We were already in Texas, prepping, had the cast there, and they were still on the fence about whether they were going to do it or not. They sent a comedy writer out. His name was Harvey Miller, who co-wrote and produced Private Benjamin.
Harvey had been around forever. A punch up guy… funny as hell and a sweet guy. He was great. Why is here re-writing us! I was upset he was re-writing. He was there to put in jokes so we could do a reading.
They brought together the cast for a roundtable reading and they recorded it and Paramount executives came in to listen to it. After that, they decided to make the movie. Some of best laugh lines of the movie. Ironically enough, Southwest Texas State, one of the teams that the Fighting Armadillos play in the movie, would change its name to Texas State in real life years later.
In some sports movies the athletic plays themselves leave something to be desired. Allan Graff took the football scenes seriously, and it showed on screen. Everyone did their part to make the football scenes look as real as possible. Kahn: They were very specific about us looking like we knew what we were doing, but we also had some freedom because we were like The Bad News Bears.
Particularly my character… I tried to tell people that I dumbed down my athletic talent. They were very specific. Experts were on set very football specific making sure to work with Scott, the linemen, the guys playing a lot.
I was impressed how specific they were. They were all athletes and NFL Films guys shot the plays. There were so many cameras there getting the slo-mo spirals. Whitenight: They asked if I wanted a stunt double. I said no, I played the game for years and I kinda know what to do. Then I got hurt the very first day. Pretty sure I tore or separated some rotator elements in my right shoulder on the first blindside tackle.
That happened on first day of shooting from the two linemen that hit me and landed on my shoulder. So the rest of the movie I had ice on my shoulder. The first pass I did throw from scrimmage in the movie in front of everyone… everyone on the sidelines was quacking like a duck because the pass looked like a lame duck. It wobbled and teetered there. I did most myself.
I believed that was a better way to do it. When we got there, for the first week and a half we had football practice. It was a lot of work, memorizing the playbook so we knew what we were doing.
I came out with a broken rib and bent up finger. Davis: Funny story. During Necessary Roughness I had actually pulled a hamstring. They brought in a guy to double me and he was playing in the CFL at the time. Whitenight: The worst part for me was the last scene in the movie when my facemask gets ripped off and Pete blows me up. He went to USC so I think he was punishing me a little bit. It was terrible.
Part III: A Learning Curve There was an interesting combination in this film of seasoned actors and those still finding their place in the business. At the time it takes you a while to get it, observing and learning. I worked with all 3 of them. I originally auditioned at wide receiver, then they put me at fullback and we really were playing football!
Behind the quarterback they wanted someone that was a rooted, grounded actor. I learned so much from Bakula about how to find the camera and relax. Then he became a friend and hired me on Quantum Leap.
I still remember it all. Hector Elizondo? Kahn: I remember first time in dailies. I sat with Bakula, who has a huge theatre background. He took me under his wing. That to me was rewarding, sitting with an actor of his caliber, who took time to share his knowledge. Hector and Robert were really open too. So when I told them I was at the end of grad school they opened their theatre history to me.
Those experiences were much more important to me than opening night or seeing the film. Tuiasosopo: Samoans are quiet and calm… real reserved. Not one guy was less impressive as next. I was humble and amazed. Bryniarski: I would do Scarface quotes to Loggia who would act like he had never seen the film.
I learned from guys all the time. I was taught an immense amount. Guys that knew what they were doing set the bar for us young actors. Gives you a level… you watch and try to be as good or funny or interesting as they were. The confidence… I was blessed to have guys that knew what they were doing. Fuller: We are on the football field. They are making torrential rain and shooting the scene in the huddle. Descriptive information to help identify this photograph.

Then it was back to the soundstages for another tour. This time we got to wander around the set for the offices, locker room and physical therapy room for the fictional football team on the show, the New York Hawks. After that, we were again taken back to the house set, this time to walk up a set of stairs erected on the outside of the set, leading up to the second floor.
Once again we watched as the scene was shot over and over, with slight adjustments made in between to do things like adjust an air condition vent that was interfering with sound, give Hannah and the other actress another prop to play with during the scene, and fix makeup and hair.
I even got to see my very first live blooper, when Patrick completely forgot his line and the scene had to be shot again. After that it was another trip back down the hill we sure got our exercise! Then it was time to sit down for an interview with executive producer and co-creator, Craig Shapiro, who was so busy that he had to stop twice to take various phone calls one of which was from his son calling about a ride home from school, too cute , proving just how busy the life of an executive producer of a television series is.

Top review. Oh yeah, it's necessary. When was the last time a Scott Bakula performance blew you out of your seat. Scotty's back and he's up to his old tricks.
In this flick he throws on a denim jacket and cowboy hat and heads back to good ol' Texas State where the football team is desperate to find anyone to fill out their squad even a 34 year-old. When viewing this, prepare yourself for a stellar performance from Hector Elizondo and even Hogan Familiy's Jason Bateman fully!
You can expect to find Sinbad "keeping it real" and "to the max". If comedy is your vice than prepare to get naughty because Rob Schneider's one-liners from the press box gave my knee a bruise from slapping it so hard. I know you're probably thinkin' No siree, Suzanne Carter is magnificent as a professor who falls for Paul Blake's Bakula rugged charm.
Kathy Ireland rounds out the cast as the place kicker and kick she does! If your ready for a some rowdy, radical comedy on the grid-iron, then make sure you add this little gem to your your "collection de excellance".
Details Edit. Release date September 27, United States.
