The Phobias

This permanent A list mostly movie actor is a multiple Oscar nominee/winner.

Obviously, this makes it very difficult to communicate with him. His assistant is called and gets the message.

Then, leaves their phone in one room and enters a different room to talk to the actor.

The assistant gets the answer and goes back into the other room and calls the person back.

This can go back and forth forever.

Our actor refuses to do any scenes that involve phones, even if they are completely fake and also refuses to do any scenes involving food because he thinks he may be poisoned by one of the governments.
