Tony Directs

So, here's how Tony got roped into a Reeses Peanut Butter Cup eating contest with Chyler Leigh who plays Lexie on our show.  Tony was directing his first episode(yay Tony!) and in the episode, which aired on April 24th and was amazing, Lexie can't stop eating.  The stress of Derek and Mark fighting is turning her into an eating machine.  Anyway, in one of the scenes, she is eating a peanut butter cup.  Well, you know they do a bunch of takes, right?  So Chyler, who is 8 months pregnant, is feeling nauseous after take #3 or 4 and is good naturedly ribbing Tony about it.  So, Tony tells Chyler that he'll eat double the amount he makes her eat, and he'll do it in 3 minutes.  So ... He did 7 takes of the scene.  Which meant that afterwards the whole cast and crew stood around cheering on Tony as he ate 14 peanut butter cups in 3 minutes. The kind crew members even provided a barf bucket for Tony in case he needed it(he did).  What he found out later, is that while they only made Chyler eat the regular  Peanut butter cups, they got Tony the double stuff.  Mmmmm.  My guess is he won't be eating peanut butter cups for awhile.
