Tobolowsky recalled getting a confusing set of emotions to act out for his audition for the television show "Heroes," on which he played a man who could turn items to gold. "They asked me to be threatening," he wrote. "I threw a chair. That threatened them for sure. They asked me to be 'mysterious,' whatever that is. Try being 'mysterious' sometime on your own and see what you end up with. At best you will look like a bad guy on 'The Man from U.N.C.L.E.' If you do it at work, your boss will think you're stealing office supplies."
