I play Buddy Holly in Great Balls of Fire! (1989)
*I played Buddy Holly in the worst movie of all time - Great Balls of Fire! starring Gomer Pyle as Jerry Lee Lewis!
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0097457/reference
I was filming one of my scenes at the beautiful Memphis Orpheum, watching Gomer (the big DQ) burn the piana down, to recreate the Brooklyn-Freed apocryphal myth, in a Disney-bowdlerized, epithetless bastardization.
Jerry Lee: Follow that, Killer!
(this is a characterization of the dialogue)
JLL: "Listen here my good man of darkened complexion - why don't you attempt to perform your sidepiece subsequent to my great pyrotechnic display?"
Jerry lee shows up on set to watch.
He gets out of his limo in flip-flops and a Sherlock Holmes pipe while me and chuck berry are getting our pictures made with all the extras.
Producer, Adam Fields starts to introduce me to the Killer, and Jerry Lee looks at this pipsqueak, rock & roll, phony-type cat, and says:
"Oh,Killer, I know Killer!"
Adam replies:
"He's playing Buddy Holly. "
Whereupon, Jerry Lee gives me the once-over twice, pops the meerschaum out of his leering suck-hole, and in a dilaudid-meets-Ferriday accent, slurs in my direction:
"Killer, Buddy Holly was my best friend in the world..."
Then back to Adam:
"if you had enough sense to hire Killer here to play Buddy, you got more sense than i thought you had..."
then to me again:
"Son, you look more like Buddy Holly than Buddy Holly ever did!"

When Jerry plays the burning piano, he stops playing clearly before the piano sound is gone. It keeps on a few more seconds, then it stops.
