'Dirty Rotten Scoundrels' is a good one because it not only turned out, I think, to be a really funny movie but it was also a delight to shoot. We were in the South of France, working with Glenne Headly and Michael Caine and Frank Oz the director - who were just fun.
Steve Martin

Mehmet Oz

Done, Different, Head

Alison Sweeney

Love, Food, Thinking

Lev Grossman

Morning, Loved, Somebody

Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje

Kathleen Robertson

Different, Before, Off
