You're Safe Now



Petty Officer 2nd Class Danielle Albert, a medical corpsman, played the medic who checked out Richard Phillips (Tom Hanks) after his rescue in the 2013 movie Captain Phillips. She had never had an acting job before, and she and Hanks improvised the whole scene. It only took two takes after the script was thrown out. Albert was just doing her job checking out a traumatized patient, and it was so real that Hanks reacted as if it were real. In a later interview, she described the blowback she received from fellow sailors about her movie role. (via reddit)
