10 Movie Scenes You Didn’t Realise Actors HATED Shooting

Without a doubt one of the most emotionally charged offerings of the late '90s when it came to big screen drama, Frank Darabont's The Green Mile wasn't exactly lacking in the deeply moving or tear-jerking scene department.

So, it was only natural for a few of the thespians involved in bringing Stephen King's tale of wrongly accused supernatural convict John Coffey and the lives he touched to get a bit caught up in the drama unfolding on set from time to time. And that's exactly what made one particular scene so difficult to execute for William Sadler during the shoot.

During the moment involving Sadler's Klaus Detterick discovering Michael Clark Duncan's Coffey holding his two on-screen daughter's lifeless bodies in his arms, Sadler later confessed that him being a "young father" at the time and having "a little girl about that age" made going to the place "horrifying" for him.

So, for Sadler to have to go to that disturbing place for "a whole day" was understandably "just awful" and something he still classes as the hardest acting experience of his prolific career to date.
