These Actors Are Notoriously Difficult To Work With

Chevy Chase Was A “Vicious” Put-Down Artist On The Set Of SNL

Chevy Chase is notoriously hard to work with, according to many who’ve starred alongside the actor or directed him. In the book Saturday Night: A Backstage History of Saturday Night Live, the writers note that Chase was known as “a viciously effective put-down artist, the sort who could find the one thing somebody was sensitive about — a pimple on the nose, perhaps — and then kid about it, mercilessly.” Chase would also mock the writers, telling them that their ideas weren’t very good. He gave little credit to his colleagues during interviews, ordered people around, bragged about his fame, and did a lot of cocaine.
