Deleted Role: He had a role in All About Eve as a stage manager, but it was cut, though he's still credited.
Wag the Director: Not himself directly, but him having a role in BUtterfield 8 was the result of his then-wife Elizabeth Taylor doing this, as it was one of several conditions she put on starring in the film, which she throughly hated, being a Contractual Obligation Project she only did to finish her contract with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer.note Not only did MGM break an (admittedly informal) agreement they had made with Taylor's previous husband Mike Todd before his death of letting her out of her contract, but Taylor was convinced (not without reason, mind you) that her being cast as a prostitute in the film was because the studio was hoping to cash-in the reputation as a "homewrecker" she got following the scandal after Fisher left Debbie Reynolds for her.
