Forgetting your line. Blocking can be as minor as forgetting a word or line but could also result in the actor/actress becoming so unglued that they forget the context within their response is given and end up blowing the whole scene. The unsung hero is the double who is offstage tries to prompt the performer by telling them their line loud enough so the actor can hear it while the audience can't. The double must also not only memorize the lines but also stage presence, body language and the entire performance. Because should "the star" be sick or otherwise be unable to perform the double carries out the performance. THE SHOW MUST GO ON!
