Behind the Scenes at the Balgoni Fresh Mozzarella Cheese Commercial

Director Frederico Brontolare is steaming. "No, Bridget, we've been over this already! You have to put the cheese in your mouth before you say that! BEFORE, OK??"

In the next take, the attractive actress lifts the cheese into her mouth and exclaims, "Mmm, Bal...kkaahk," before coughing the slice back across the table.

"Frederico, how am I supposed to say that line with a big slice of cheese in my mouth?"

"Having something in your mouth has never stopped you from talking before," he mutters.

It's three o'clock in the afternoon and the shoot is not going well. After repeated takes, the scene is finally in the can.

Frederico is still concerned. "The next scene is the American businessman, and this guy is like a piece of cardboard with a fashion photo on it. To watch him, you'd think he'd never eaten anything before today."

"Mmm, Balgoni!" says the actor.

"Did you see that? He had all the enthusiasm of someone filling out an itemized tax return.

"Everyone here is just too good looking for something this complicated," sighs Brontolare.
