From the blog of (among other things) television writer Ken Levine ( kenlevine.blogspot.com/ ), comes his answer to a question posted by somebody about Hollywood 'protocol' in movie/tv studio commissaries: When stars come into the commissary do they have to wait in line? If not, how do they cut the line? And, what level of star is able to get away with that?
A lot of studios have two sides to their commissary. One is more cafeteria style and one is more a sit down restaurant where they take reservations. Stars generally have reservations. That said, usually at 1 PM (everyone makes reservations for 1 PM) there can be a brief line while the parties are seated and the stars generally stand in line.
Star treatment is more in evidence at regular restaurants. Many stars do require special treatment, but not all. I was in an Italian restaurant in Brentwood a few years ago. There were no reservations. The line was about seven deep. Harrison Ford came in and asked how long the wait would be. The maitre ‘d said, “Oh no, we will take you in right away,” and Ford, to his credit, said, “No. I’m happy to wait.” And he did. You gotta love Indiana Jones! SAVE FERRIS

Similar It is said that Claude Akins used to help on the cafeteria line when on location before he sat down to eat his own meal.

Hes had some issues with his flying and has remained on the scene, not made excuses and has taken responsibility for accidents or near accidents.
