How I grew a SIXTH finger

WHEN I was asked in 2014 to put my own hands and feet in that famous sidewalk cement, outside Grauman’s Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles, I asked the prop masters from The Walking Dead TV series to build me a sixth finger on my left hand. I like to imagine some of the millions of tourists who come to put their hands on the concrete will shout: ‘Hey! Did you know that Mel Brooks had SIX fingers on his left hand?’
