Fowl Play

If the Perdue company needs an actor for its next commerical, perhaps they should call upon Michael E. Knight (Tad), who - after one particularly long day at work - invented his own version of the chicken dance. "Whenever you do weddings or parties on the show, things can run until two or three o'clock in the morning," he explains. "You have six lines... and then wait another three hours for your next three lines. [One time], we were doing something at the Chandler mansion and nobody was getting along. Marcy [Walker, Liza] finally said to me at about 11 o'clock at night, 'Don't you feel like we're a flock of chickens pecking each other's eyes out?'" Taking that as his cue, Knight says he made it his mission to make Walker laugh at every opportunity he could. "I would wait until she was ready to say her lines, then I would be in the background doing [a chicken imitation]."
