Savage, she said, had a penchant for one of her most popular pastries — rugelach, a flaky pastry with sweet filling.

"He must have eaten at least six to seven rugelach for the many scene takes," Kouris said. "I asked if he was ready for some Pepto and he said he could eat them all day. Now that's an endorsement!"
