Auditioning for the role of Mick Belker, Bruce Weitz had an unusual tactic to get the producer’s attention. He showed up dressed how he thought Melker would, then jumped on Grant Tinker’s desk and attacked him. Unorthodox for sure, but surprisingly effective.
Speaking with CNN, Weitz says that after he left the room, he heard Tinker say, “There’s no way I can’t offer him the job!” It doesn’t hurt that he was friends with Steven Bochco.
