If they're uneasy, they can just say no, according to Fontana. Thus far, no one has. It's more of a gentleman's agreement between me and the actors. Bottom line, so to speak, if an actor says he doesn't want to be naked, I won't violate that. It's really the craziness of the Internet that makes some actors say no.
People can rip off a frame of film and put it on the Net.
When HBO couldn't guarantee Oz's renewal, Fontana shot two different endings for the eighth episode. One was a series finale, the other a cliffhanger. The cliffhanger won. HBO gave Oz a go, and production on the next batch of eight episodes will begin in April at an old naval yard in Bayonne, N.J., for showing this summer. Despite its endless physical and emotional violence, Fontana says he's never bored with Oz.
