“Buster doesn’t wear his heart on his sleeve does not mean that he doesn’t have one. Acting both through and around his deadpan, he knew how to let the audience figure out what he was trying to hide.
In The Haunted House, when a woman comes into the bank where he works and exerts her wiles to seduce him into opening the time-lock safe early for her, his face remains as set as granite, but every time he shakes his head in refusal we know exactly how much his resolve has weakened. Here the stone face hilariously counterpoints a spine of jell-o.”
- Buster Keaton: The Persistence of Comedy by Imogen Sara Smith

ok the other actor au AS PROMISED…..
famous comedian actor richie tozier surprisingly getting cast in a horror movie. he loves horror movies himself, and he thinks that this will be a fun change of pace from all his regular raunchy comedy movies and stand up shows, so he takes the job.
it’s a good gig, his costars and the crew are good to work with, and richie likes the movie plot so it’s fun to film. the only thing is… well, it’s not really a big deal, but… richie gets weird vibes from the set. he knows that they’re filming a horror movie so there are some things that are supposed to be creepy, but…
sometimes he just can’t shake the feeling that sometimes he’s being watched. and no, not being watched by the cameras and the crew while he acts, but rather being watched while he’s rehearsing lines in his dressing room. sometimes he thinks he hears noises- footsteps and strange, whispering voices, but when he looks around, he doesn’t see anyone. sometimes he even swears he sees someone standing across the set, someone he recognize from the crew, only for them to seemingly disappear before he can get a good look.
but richie’s sure it’s nothing. at least, he is until one night, about a month into filming. he decides to stay late one night after filming ends for the day so that he can rehearse his lines a little more- there's one scene that he just can't get a grip on yet, and he wants to practice before they film it the next day. and it's that night, when richie is standing on the creepy haunted house set alone, that he feels it- that sense of watching. he hears creaking around him, and it suddenly gets a lot colder than it should be in mid-june. but then, he turns around... and he sees it.
richie didn't believe in ghosts, but he can't deny that standing across from him on the set, is a real, honest-to-god, transparent ghost.
the ghost appears and disappears before richie can even really process it all, but he knows what he saw. and even though he wastes no time getting the hell out of that building, richie can't stop thinking about that ghost for the rest of the night.

out of all places on earth, eddie kaspbrak isn't sure why he's been destined to haunt a movie set. he's pretty sure he didn't die here- but then again, he can't quite remember much from his life, so who knows. maybe he did.
but at least haunting a movie set of an old haunted house is a lot more entertaining than a real haunted house. he doesn't do much haunting, though- he stays out of people's way, he tries his best to stay hidden.
he wouldn't be a ghost, though, if he didn't find at least some entertainment in scaring people- especially when the movies being filmed on set are horror movies, and especially when the lead actor of the movie decides to stay late one night, by himself. the perfect victim for a harmless, little scare.
except, eddie's fun little scare doesn't go quite according to plan... when the next day, that lead actor comes back, and sets up a ouija board in his dressing room, and tries to talk to "the ghost i saw yesterday night", asking if they're in the room with him. eddie is a little surprised- this has never happened before. usually when he scares people, they just try to brush it off as their imagination.
but now, as he's looking down at this man sitting in front of a spirit board, waiting for a response... eddie thinks, why not?
he sits down on the opposite side of the board, and moves the planchette to YES.

Propaganda:
"He's just a little guy! He's so sweet! It's his first flight!!! He's voiced by peewee herman you can't get better than him and i think Disney should not have replaced him :(" "Even though he's not the most advanced animatronic, and is "simply" just a robot, he has a fn design is super expressive and a great character for the original version of Star Tours. I think his eye visor and three arms give him a better range of emotion compared to C-3PO (no shade to him, of course)."
