Replying to a redditor:

> I read that you were a stuntman in the smash hit holiday classic "Jingle All the Way"? How was Arnold like behind the scenes? Is Sinbad really crazy?

> Sinbad is hilarious. Arnold was HUUGGEE. I suggested he run for Governor one day. For better or worse he took my advice.

### u/vernetroyer in r/IAmA, Feb 13, 2014 · Behind the scenes

Replying to a redditor:

> Verne! Thanks for doing this. Was wondering, when filming Austin Powers , how difficult was it to not talk at all? Did you slip up often?

> It was difficult because Mike improves constantly and so you have to just react, but I liked the challenge of not being able to say anything but still having to get my point across. Ruined many scenes because we couldn't keep a straight face. The scene with the cat where I'm trying to bite it, I was smirking the whole time
