Candid Snapshots of ‘Life in Pieces’ (PHOTOS)
Cabral and Sadoski were buddies before joining the comedy (thanks to mutual friends), and Cabral’s sunshine-y, head-in-the-clouds personality meshes nicely with Sadoski’s more pragmatic attitude. The two relished the opportunity to grab our cameras and show off their bright, bubbly set. See the funny and sunny behind-the-scenes photos that Cabral and Sadoski took, like this attempted group selfie with Hanks and Lister-Jones.
Don’t let the serious expression fool you. Hanks and Brandt are the ringleaders of all practical jokery. Once the duo discovered that Cabral was an easy mark, it was game over. “They scared me right as I was taking my picture for my ID. My eyes are bugging out of my head,” she laments.
Cabral is a total pro with kids. Prior to moving to L.A., she nannied in New York and taught preschool. Her character, Colleen? Not so much. “She’s a little freaked out by Greg’s new baby,” Cabral says, “so I’m smiling and going, ‘What do I do?’ inside.” The baby actor, meanwhile, was a little too well behaved. “She was supposed to be fussy, and she was so perfect and sweet!”
Despite having been a star for decades, Wiest isn’t fond of having her picture taken, Cabral says. (Thus the herbs in front of her face.) However, Sadoski reveals that the actress can often be heard rapping along to Kanye in her trailer. “That’s not something you ever get used to,” he adds. “It’s the greatest thing in the world.”
