Part of the reason I enjoy my job is that sometimes very bizarre and amusing things happen.
Most of the time, I can’t write about them here because of the numerous and voluminous Non-Disclosure Agreements I’ve had to sign, but since the LA Times wrote about this one, I think I’m safe.
I hereby present the relevant part of the story, without further comment:
After the interview, he gets back in the golf cart. As he drives by the set of “House,” he spontaneously decides to stop. He pulls into a spot that says “Parking for Hugh Laurie Only.” Woods was told earlier that “House” sent over a good-luck cake. When he walks onto the set, the stand-ins who are rehearsing flip for the star.
I just want to thank everybody for the cake you sent us today.
Everyone stares at him blankly.
OK, it turns out you didn’t know about it. But I want to thank you for sending the cake you didn’t know about. We’re going to take it as a sign of good luck. And we’ll return the favor by sending you back a spinach soufflé. Just kidding. Keep up the good work. See you all later.
Outside, Woods says he wants to go to the “House” production office to thank them. His girlfriend, Ashley, who kept him in the tabloids all summer and has now joined him, says she wants to go home and re-curl her hair and change clothes for the evening’s premiere party. She wins.
Back outside his trailer
Woods tells the show’s crew about his visit to the “House” set. An assistant looks panicked. Woods is informed the cake actually came from the set of “Bones.”
The actor laughs and laughs before he asks: Does anybody know where “Bones” is?
Try Stage 10, Mr. Woods.
