Scott Capurro: A Disturbance in the Farce

From Television Times with Steve Otis Gunn Jilted Maggot

Scott Capurro landed his role in Mrs Doubtfire by showing up dressed as a flamboyant designer while everyone else turned up in three-piece suits, accidentally asked the director of The Goonies how he got his job, and remains very clear that if you’re easily offended, comedy clubs probably aren’t for you.

Scott Capurro is a San Francisco-born comedian, actor, and writer known for his roles in Mrs Doubtfire and Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, and for stand-up that consistently goes where other comedians politely decline to follow.

The Mrs Doubtfire audition — showing up dressed as the character, going off-script, and getting the job
What Robin Williams was actually like on set — gracious, calm, and improvising constantly
Accidentally asking Chris Columbus how he got his job — and the moment Harvey Fierstein said, "either you're stupid as fuck or a really good actor."
Star Wars conventions, the nerds who love being made fun of, and why the women who attend tend to be considerably more intense than you'd expect
