10 Unusual Demands Made By Actors On Recent TV Shows

Stepping into the shoes of one of the most recognisable stars ever to pose in front of a camera isn't what you'd class as a walk on the beach.

So, Lily James very much knew she needed to bring her A-game from the second she was officially announced to be playing none other than Baywatch and Playboy icon Pamela Anderson in a biopic series centred on her life and relationship with Tommy Lee around the time the pair's infamous sex tape made its way into the public eye.

With James ultimately becoming aware of the real-life figure's lack of desire to have any association with the project late on, the actor would also note how she focused her "incredibly disappointed” feelings on the matter into a sense of “responsibility to do absolutely everything I could to try and do her justice.”

In the end, on top of requesting to have her dialect coach on-set throughout shooting, James would insist on never breaking away from Anderson's specific American vocal quality and accent, spending four-months in Pam's vocal space... except when she had a drink or two and wound up reverting back to her British twang, of course.
