“One time I didn’t do it, and I was in the middle of a scene and I just said the whole line except the last word, and I couldn’t remember it,” Holmes said.

“I made something up but it didn’t make sense,” the actress continued. “And then I got so red because Jim Parsons, who’s delightful, he’s onstage most of the time because he’s the stage manager. And so I’m like, ‘Oh my God. Jim knows. He’s watching. And Ephraim [Sykes] knows because I was saying it to him, and then Richard Thomas. Oh God.'
