Betty Gilpin recalls a “terrifying” experience of law and order

Betty Gilpin‘s Law and order the experience will make you say “Dun Dun!”

The LIGHT The actress recently recalled a not-so-pleasant experience she had during one of her first appearances on the NBC procedural. (For the record, Gilpin appeared on three Law and order series, in four different roles.)

In particular, Gilpin recounted one particular experience on set where she was shoved into a body bag and left there.

“They shot me and left me in an oil drum and then put me in a body bag,” she said shared on Deadline’s 20 questions podcast Aug 26. “Basically, at the beginning of the scene, I’m zipping up the body bag, and then there’s a scene in front of the body bag, and then they all walk away. I heard ‘lightning’ – the scene is happening…” Cut. It’s lunch! The door of the van closes, I hear the vans driving away, the footsteps going further and further on the gravel.’

But Gilpin recalled how one of the defenders remembers being left in a body bag.

“I hear ‘Oh my God!’, then gravel footsteps get closer and closer, and [they] unzip the side of my face,” she said. – It was terrible and exciting. Oh!

But thankfully, Gilpin said she “won’t tell anyone” as the role was one of her first jobs in the industry.
