I said: 'What did you say, motherfucker?". I went through our stage door, took off my vest, went into the audience - as he stood proudly to stare at me with a stupid grin on his face [and] I pushed him, and he was drunk, so he easily just collapsed. I knew better than to start throwing punches. I had made my point. I silenced the heckler, and thankfully, one of the audience members, this enormous 6'5'', 280-lb. filmmaker named Tim Sullivan, who happened to be gay and was not at all happy with what was happening, reached over and picked this guy up by his shirt collar and literally carried him out of the theater. Of course, I could have stopped and said ''Could we have the house lights on, please? I'd like this gentleman removed''. But when you call my fellow actor a 'f-g' in front of the audience, it's not fucking acceptable.
