“Those sets were incredible,” Chandler says. “I had a friend visiting from out of town and he and I went over to the sound stages and the guy in charge goes, ‘What are you doing here?’ And I said, ‘Oh well, I’m one of the actors.’ He goes, ‘Oh, okay. Watch out for the bear.’ I said, ‘Okay. Sure.’ Thinking he was joking around right?”
