On-Set Pranks
Bradley Whitford recalled one particular prankster, Joshua Malina, who he dubbed the “perverse one on set.” He had fun joking around and setting people’s iPods to the Mandarin language or removing the last four pages of a book a person was reading. Malina didn’t have any boundaries when it came to pranks. At one point, Whitford was doing a scene and Jimmy Smits gave him a big hug, telling him: “I love you too, man. And those flowers were amazing and the letter means so much to me.” Josh had sneaked into Bradley’s trailer, stole some personalized stationary, and wrote “a vaguely homoerotic thing to Jimmy about working together.”
