There comes a time in every actor's life when they're expected to eat a whole can of beans on camera and then perform in a love scene. Kristen Schaal's time is now.

Acting opposite Will Forte in The Last Man on Earth, Schaal shot a scene where her character, an apocalypse survivor, is famished and shoveling down beans as fast as she can. In the shooting schedule, it was immediately followed by another scene in which she had to lie on top of Forte and talk dirty. Turns out, her butt had a few improvised lines of its own.

Let she who hasn't farted on a former SNL actor cast the first stone, I say.
