Harrison Ford once told Jane Lynch to keep her mouth shut – find out why
When The Fugitive was being shot in Chicago more than two decades ago, a then-unknown local stage actress named Jane Lynch caught a break.
She landed a small role in the film as a ‘local hire’ and even got to shoot a scene with star Harrison Ford.
Lynch, now a two-time Emmy winning actress, told Conan O’Brien this week that she learned some valuable acting advice from Ford during the shooting of their scene.
His character of Dr. Richard Kimble was on the lam after being wrongly accused of murdering his wife. Lynch, who had never worked on camera before, played his old friend Dr. Kathy Wahlund who he visits with briefly.
To convey longing as Kimble departs, Lynch says her mouth was hanging wide open.
Ford noticed.
‘He came over to me and said, “I have a little advice for you. I don’t care how smart you are, any time your mouth is wide open like that, you look stupid.”‘
Lynch never forgot it.
But she had a good excuse: ‘I’m kind of a mouth breather as a person anyway.’
Lynch went on to make many more films after that including Best In Show, Julie & Julia, 40 Year Old Virgin, Collateral Damage and The Three Stooges.
But she has found her greatest success on the small screen winning an Emmy for her portrayal of Sue Sylvester on Glee and is one of the stars of the upcoming CBS sitcom Angel From Hell.
