Lee Waddell was the stuntman who played Ghostface in the first Scream movie from 1996. He really liked Henry Winkler from the TV show Happy Days. Winkler played Principal Himbry in Scream.

During filming, Waddell couldn't act scary enough for a murder scene. Winkler took him away from the others and started acting like an angry principal. He told Waddell he would suspend him.

This made Waddell feel really angry, and he could finally play the killer character well. Waddell said this was an important lesson that helped his acting career. He played Ghostface again in Scream 2 the next year.
