The group decided to get together and find a way to help this actor regain his composure. They started by setting up a little mock trial in the living room, where they could be the judge, jury, and defendant. Over time, as the day wore on, some of the actors' faces began to show signs of confusion or panic. At one point, they even looked at each other and whispered to themselves, "Why is he not paying attention?" Eventually, the group convinced the actor that they needed to come clean about what was going on with their lives.
