There's a great little story from that movie. There's a scene where a car drives by Malkovich and the passenger screams his name and hits him with an empty beer can. Apparently the extra's in the car, who were NOT supposed to do that, snuck beer onto the set and got a little wasted and just did that for giggles. The director loved it so much they had to go and get the extra his SAG card so they could keep it in the movie. The guy went from silent extra to getting his SAG card and getting paid(the bare minimum $700) for a speaking part for the day. Mr. Malkovich's reaction in the movie is genuine shock as he screams.
