 When Dennis Greene (II) (qv), who played Reggie, showed up for  shooting, he was told by Martin Lawrence (I) (qv)s bouncer that  he mustnt look into Lawrences eyes or talk to him, and Lawrence  himself was subsequently nasty to him. It was all a ploy arranged by  Michael Bay (qv) who wanted the boy to be genuinely scared of  Lawrence. Greene also wasnt told about the gun that he would be  threatened with.
