The second of an original 4 planned Motivational Speaker episodes, "Pierre Frère the Fear Pear" featured actor Jean-Jaques Poire in his first role after he left rehab for his crippling varnish addiction. Cast and crew walked on eggshells for much of the production and at all times a team of doctors and police officers were present to monitor Mr. Poire, who in the end performed without incident and gave what many consider to be the most realistic role of his lifetime. You can see him beneath Pierre in the role of the conference table.
