'Boy Meets World' Star Reveals Donald Sutherland's Strict No Eye Contact Rule on Set
Actor Rider Strong revealed on the podcast "Pod Meets World" that his former co-star Donald Sutherland had a rule on set that "nobody can make eye contact with him" unless they were in a scene together. Strong shared this anecdote while discussing how guest stars are treated by series regular actors. He mentioned that Sutherland paused a scene to address a man peeking into the set, causing crew members to remove the intruder. Strong later clarified that the rule applied mainly during single-camera scenes to avoid distractions.
