Line 43:
* When Bob Newhart appeared in the gritty [[World War II]] drama ''Hell Is For Heroes'', a scene was written to show off his patented one-sided-telephone-conversation comedy routines.
* According to his biography, [[Christopher Lee]] accepted the [[Big Bad]]'s role in ''[[The Return of Captain Invincible]]'' because he felt he should at least once demonstrate his singing ability on screen.
* Christopher Lee had his lightsaber made with a fencing grip in the ''[[Star Wars]]'' films so he could show of his authentic fencing skills, though obviously most of his fights were performed by stuntmen. This small detail would influence major parts of the expanded universe. Dooku's fighting style becomes the rarely used (as it's focused on lightsaber duels and virtually nobody has had a serious lightsaber duel in ''centuries'') Makashi style. This is also a basis for expanding his character there, where Dooku is written as one of the greatest duelists of his era and has the class (with a bit of the attitude) that goes along with being a master fencer.
* Ed Helms shows off his piano playing in ''[[The Hangover]]''.
* ''[[Valentine's Day]]'' shows off several of its actors talents. Taylor Lautner's martial art skills, [[Taylor Swift]]'s dancing, and George Lopez's Spanglish.
