Tori Spelling recently got candid and opened up about going through the worst experience on the set of Evil Alien Conquerors.
For those unaware, the 53-year-old American actress played the role of Jan in the Chris Matheson-directed science-fiction comedy film, which was released in 2003.
Stephen Baldwin invited Spelling on his One Bad Movie podcast, where Tori shared some insight into her journey while filming Evil Alien Conquerors, following her Beverly Hills, 90210 role as Donna Martin that earned her fame.
Although her portrayal of Jan helped her establish her comedic career, working with Matheson turned out to be a nightmare for her.
“It was a straight offer, and I got it, and they’re like, ‘It’s a comedy!’” she recalled, stating that it cast Chris Parnell and Dietrich Bader as “aliens that come to Earth and find what they think are these two human girls that they’re into, but they are not humans; they’re aliens as well.”
“All I know is I had a big furry unibrow and furry feet, and I was one of the girlfriends, and it was just I was so excited,” the Scary Movie star admitted.
Following her successful run on Beverly Hills, 90210 role and being the daughter of Aaron Spelling’s daughter, the acclaimed American film producer and television actor, Tori thought the switch-up would “be great” for her.
She remembered, “From the moment I stepped on set, it was like I couldn’t say one word without the director being like, ‘Uh, Tori, can you do that again?’” adding that she was always asked to do “just a little bit less.”
“Now, although I was in a drama for 10 seasons and did other work, my comedy was on point, like I was a comedian and am a comedian.”
“And so, in drama sometimes I was like, ‘Okay, if I get that note, I understand that,’ but comedy, no one ever gave me a note. It was always like, ‘Oh my God, that’s great, go for it,’” Tori explained.
The actress of A Friend to Die For started feeling like Matheson would always critique her even if she had a monologue or just one line and the constant criticism made her deliver lines without any emotional involvement.
“It could be a scene with me and one other actor or a scene with like 20 of us… By the end I knew he’d go through the first take, and then he’d be like ‘Cut!’ And I’m like, ‘Wait for it,’ and he’d be like, ‘Tori…’ Every time! He would say it out loud across all the other actors and everyone in the room and I’d be shuddering,” Tori Spelling shared.
