I used to think that when actors died on telly, they really died. But since I still got the concept of actors, I figured that the people who made the movies just gave the actors everything they wanted for a week, on the condition that they could kill them on film at the end.
When I found out years later that this formed the basis for snuff films, I was outraged that they'd stolen my idea.
