Lisa Edelstein Talks About the Screen Actors’ Guild

sag-awards.jpgIn preparation for the broadcast of what may be the only real awards show to air this year, The Screen Actors’ Guild Awards, some actors weighed in on why the SAG is so important to them. Here’s what House’s Lisa Edelstein had to say:

Lisa Edelstein, “House”
“I got my SAG card for an Oliver Stone movie, ‘The Doors.’ I was Jim Morrison’s makeup artist backstage at “The Ed Sullivan Show.” And I had to speak — if I didn’t speak, I wouldn’t get my SAG card — so he told me to just make something up, which I did, but I realized I’d made up a really short line. So every take, I made my line longer, until finally I got yelled at. He said, ‘You’re stopping the whole scene with your line!’ and I had to go back to that first line I made up.”

The event will be Simulcast Live on Sunday, Jan. 27, on TNT and TBS at 8 PM ET/PT, 7 PM CT, 6 PM MT.
