Some behind the scene-isms from the Perlorians:

Most of our Goulet stories aren't fit for network television, but here's a few tidbits:

Mr. Goulet has great energy on set and from that twinkle in his eye you can see that he clearly relished his role as the "bad guy." He had so much residual energy, in fact, that after takes of the more physical scenes, he would run off the set and punch the Perlorians. Hard. And with an evil laugh.

Mr. Goulet entertained the crew by always doing just a little more destruction to the rented office space than the script called for. Never hesitating to do things like pouring coffee on computer equipment, destroying floor lamps or actually eating memos and paper notes (followed by some more director punching). By the end of it we all understood the importance of keeping Robert Goulet away.

Shooting happened directly adjacent to a working office. At one point during the shoot, a complaint came in from that office to "turn down the radio." The music, however, was Mr. Goulet performing (at full volume) a spontaneous selection of Broadway favorites for the wardrobe and makeup girls.

The spot was shot on location in Toronto literally across the street from the theatre where Mr. Goulet got his start in the early 1960's in the first production of the musical Camelot, which moved from there to Broadway and established Goulet as a superstar. Between takes, he would look out the window at the theatre and tell stories of getting out of speeding tickets in his new Corvette by offering the traffic cops free tickets to his show (again, the evil twinkle).
