also i'm very Bitter at every person who has repeated sth to the effect of "rappaport looked down on his costars bc he thought he was a better actor" because like... idk about the backgrounds of mike edmonds and malcolm dixon but afaik kenny baker, jack purvis, and tiny ross all had a background in vaudeville/circus-type acts and rappaport didnt have anything like that; afaik he started acting in university
and i dont want to make too many assumptions but, i can easily see how that dissonance of experiences could make him very uncomfortable and hard to work with
