Christy Carlson Romano

Have you ever been onstage naked? “The first play I ever did I was completely naked. In The Duchess, I was bare. And in Mamma Mia. I'm going to try and put it into my contracts that I must start wearing more clothes.” —Dominic Cooper

Lili Taylor

What's the most awkward scene you've ever done? “The shower scene in The Big Chill. I was naked. It’s weird when you have to do it for the first time.” —Glenn Close

Haley Joel Osment

Do you have any preshow rituals? “I do a singing warm-up that includes snatches of the American national anthem and 'Oh What a Beautiful Morning.'” Are you a good singer? “No.” —Richard Griffiths

Tyrone Jackson

The press made a big deal about Daniel Radcliffe's nudity. “It was absolutely infantile, and I hated it. He didn’t do a porn play.” —Peter Shaffer

What's the most awkward scene you've ever performed onstage? “I was in a play called Before You Go, in a bed. I had to take off this bed jacket, and I was very skinny and odd-looking.” —Marian Seldes

You have to carry Daniel Radcliffe on your back in one scene. Is he heavy? “He's 120 pounds.” That's still a lot to carry. “Thank you. I appreciate that.” —Lorenzo Pisoni

What's your most awkward moment onstage? “When I was doing Hedda Gabler, I came out for my curtain call and I fell.” How bad? “Bad. On my face.”Judith Light
