Kenny Ortega

On set, if he catches an actor or actress yawning, he forces them to pay him a dollar. After production, he donates all the proceeds to "The Make a Wish Foundation".

[on what he learned from his mentor, Gene Kelly] If you didn't understand how to design your choreography for the camera, then you were shortchanging yourself and would never come to fully realize your worth. It would have meant very little if I hadn't come to understand technically how to put the work up.
