The scene the actor described was one where  Suplees character was supposed to be pointing a gun at some people  Suplee and others had captured. The commentary noted that Suplee had  insisted that he shouldnt point his gun at them after all, since in  Suplees mind, it had taken so long to capture the people that it  had given the character time to rethink his motives. Suplee got his  way in the scene, over the directors objections. The fact that  Suplee would think so much about such a small detail was enough to  get Suplee an audition.
