So apparently Gary Busey will do a two-week stint in Perfect Crime. I saw this piece of crap "play" a few years ago. The character he's playing has the biggest part with many lines to remember. How is this trainwreck going to work in that trainwreck?
When I read this my jaw nearly hit the floor. I will forever remember Mr. Busey as that fellow in the straitjacket who kept screaming at Inside Edition reporters...oh, how I miss Joel McHale on The Soup.
There's a 0% chance he will give a single performance.
"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."

Oh my God, going on stage without knowing my lines IS MY NIGHTMARE. Also watching someone go on stage without knowing their lines is my nightmare. That said, I'd specifically love to see Gary Busey screw up. As much as I had a crush on him in The Buddy Holly Story, he is now a Trump-loving groper who makes me sick to my stomach.
The Los Angeles Times revealed in an interview with the actor that one condition of his contract was "that he be allowed to mold the part in his image."
A nice way of saying that he wasn't going to even bother trying to learn the part as written. Not that it really matters with this POS.

Looks like he did, according to this article. Lest we forget he was also in Only Human, which if I remember correctly, closed before opening (or very shortly after opening?)

Yes, it did happen. I didn't see it but there were reports that Busey broke character throughout and told audience members to "pay attention" because what he was saying was important.
