Questions for any actors/actresses on the forum

Hey there, I've noticed every once and a while their will be tickling between lovers on soap opera's and other TV shows. I was wondering if an of our resident performers knew how real that tickling is, and how nerve racking is it knowing it's coming but having to let it happen.

Trust me, even if it's real, the presence of a theater audience if live (the play having been rehearsed for a few weeks anyway) , or a set full of film/TV personnel if electronic defuses any feeling in the ticklee, who's simply concentrating on conveying the proper effect for the scene or shot. I'm afraid it's not 'nerve racking' in the least.

Yep, as Libertine said. I was on some TV set or another a few months back and the script called for the actor to walk up behind an actress and tickle her while greeting her. He asked if she was actually ticklish and if so, should he fake the tickle so she'd be able to deliver her line/response successfully. She said she was a bit ticklish but for him not to worry as under the circumstances she wouldn't be affected by it.

Yeah, I don't really understand why people assume the tickling is real but accept that the punches are fake.

I used to know the guy who made Bikini Karate Babes, and I once asked him and a couple of the models how Thalia's tickle attack was done. The answer was, of course, that it was faked although judging from outtakes it looks like at least one of them got a bit of it for real by accident.

Also, if you slow down that one scene in The Purge and actually watch it frame by frame, the actress who does the tickling never actually touches the heroine. These folks are pros. Clever camera angles and other tricks are usually the order of the day.
