In a 2004 interview with IGN, Ryan Reynolds theorized that the main reason Wesley Snipes’ behavior made his “Blade: Trinity” castmates so uncomfortable is that he went full method as the humorless vampire hunter lead. Said Reynolds, “I never met Wesley, I only met Blade, and he is a method actor.” While Snipes’ coldness may have made him intimidating, it didn’t deter Reynolds from trying to make him laugh. Pranking was a common practice on the set of the film, but Reynolds decided to solely rely on the most proven tool at his disposal: his tongue. “I don’t think leaving fake vomit in his trailer was something I was willing to risk my life doing just yet,” Reynolds quipped to The Sydney Morning Herald.
Sometimes, when Reynolds was joking about Snipes’ surly demeanor, it would even make it into the film. “I do a dime store psychoanalysis of him where I say, ‘You ever thought about sitting down and talking with someone, getting in touch with your inner child, and also you might want to try blinking once in a while,'” Reynolds recalled to IGN. “He just looks at me like he’s gonna turn me into a** pulp.” Patton Oswalt told AV Club that Reynolds also had to do a lot of ad-libbing simply because Snipes was absent from the set so often.
