The most interesting acting Cassavetes did during this entire period (and arguably one of the two or three most interesting performances he ever turned in in anyone else’s work) was in a now-forgotten piece: a one-act play by Charles Cohen titled Flip Side, taped in Toronto on 28 September 1963 by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. Cassavetes played Jerry Jarvis, a disc jockey who goes to pieces as he spins records and manically interacts with his audience in between calls to his wife to try to keep their marriage from breaking up. One of the most interesting aspects of the piece is that it showcases Cassavetes’ ability to do ‘voices’ – from Edward G. Robinson to Peter Lorre to Bela Lugosi to a Mexican pizza boy. (There was a scene in the shooting script of Husbands in which Cassavetes did a similar cascade of impersonations, but it was cut from the final film; and there is a moment at the beginning of the ‘Etude in Black’ episode he did for Columbo in which he briefly switches into a mock-British accent. He also does a little vocal mimicry in Rosemary’s Baby, Mikey and Nicky and Machine Gun McCain.)
