"I did a film with an absolute idiot of a co-star," she revealed. "This human being was being so insecure and angry because [they] couldn’t get the scenes out. And I think I was so vulnerable and uncomfortable that I got screamed at, and I would cry walking off set."
Careful not to give anything away about the co-star, Ferguson detailed the discomfort she felt.
"This person would literally look at me in front of the whole crew and say, ‘You call yourself an actor? This is what I have to work with? … What is this?’ And I stood there just breaking.
