主创回忆当年选角：in the wrong hands
重聚节目上，主创聊起当年选角：有个角色本以为好找，结果 we saw actor after actor（看了一个又一个演员）都不好笑；另一个最难定，因为本身不讨喜，in the wrong hands（换个人来演就砸了）。还有人已经 sign on for（签约接下）别的剧。想学面试选人、评价演员、讲签约怎么说，这段很实用。
发生了什么
重聚节目上，主创聊起当年怎么把其余演员凑齐。有人提到有个角色本以为是最好选的，因为角色自带笑话，结果 we saw actor after actor（看了一个又一个演员）都不好笑；直到马修·派瑞进来，念起对白就 sparkles（闪闪发光、一下活起来），大家认定这是 the only guy to play it（唯一能演的人）。另一个角色最难定，因为她自私又不讨喜，in the wrong hands（换个人来演就砸了），可珍妮弗身上有种温暖和真诚，让你不再 passed judgment on（对她评头论足）那些毛病。麻烦的是两位都已 sign on for（签约接下）别的剧，剧组还是冒了险。想学聊选角、评价一个演员、讲签约和冒险，这段全是现成说法。

- 钱德勒本该最好找，结果一个也不逗
- 马修和珍妮弗都先签了别的剧
- 失败试播片里的冷笑话当对照

关于这一章的问题
in the wrong hands 是什么意思？
意思是「落到不会用的人手里、换个人来演就砸了」。台词里 in the wrong hands, you don't like Rachel 就是「落到不会演的人手里，观众就不会喜欢瑞秋」。
actor after actor 是什么意思？
意思是「一个接一个的演员、接连不断的演员」。台词里 we saw actor after actor 就是「我们看了一个又一个演员」，用 after 重复就表示接连不停。
「对……评头论足」英语怎么说？
pass judgment on 或 passed judgment on。可以说 people might have passed judgment on her，就是「人们本来可能对她评头论足」，常指对人先入为主地下判断。
「签约加入」英语怎么说？
sign on for。台词里 He had already signed on for another sitcom 就是「他已经签了另一部情景喜剧」，说人已经答应接下一个项目。
「他自带笑话」在选角里为什么重要？
因为选一个喜剧角色，光念台词不够，得让对白 sparkle。台词里说他 has actual real jokes，念起来会 come alive，所以是 the only guy to play it。
