More on Kate and the bat

Kate Flannery was nice enough to answer a few questions about working with a bat during last week’s ‘Business School’ episode:

OT: I assume you were acting with an animatronic bat during the garbage bag scene. What was that like? Was it being remote-controlled off-camera? Or was Rainn operating the bat? Or was it fancy editing, and nothing was actually IN the garbage bag?

Kate: We went from real bat (which we had to be extremely quiet around! basically pretending to scream!) to animatron bat — operated by a guy who was literally on my ass with a stick attached to the bat — to a motorized bat to just the bag. It was pretty wild.

Rainn Man

The New York Post talks with Rainn Wilson:

Wilson learned acting at NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts and subsequently lived in New York for 12 years in a number of different neighborhoods — from East Harlem to Fort Greene.

He and his wife — who now have one child, Walter, 2-1/2 — moved to L.A. in the mid-’90s after their Fort Greene landlord bought out their lease. “I came out to L.A. and I booked a pilot and two movies within my first month of coming out,” he says, “and so I thought, ‘Well, God is telling me something. I need to stay here for a while.’ ”
