Cary Elwes revisits the iconic film and reveals never-before-told stories from the set in his new memoir, As You Wish .
Twentieth Century Fox
Elwes aced his audition thanks to Fat Albert.
While casually chatting with Reiner and Scheinman, Elwes broke out into a Fat Albert impression that killed. "He was just a naturally funny guy, and I thought, Wow, this guy could really do it," Reiner recalled in the book.
Despite his comedy chops, Elwes did have to formally audition as well and read the monologue where Westley reveals to Buttercup how he became Dread Pirate Roberts. Reiner put a stop to his performance “after four words,” according to Scheinman. “I don’t remember exactly how long the meeting was, but it was just like, Boom! That’s him."
