In a new interview with People, Mark Acheson, who you'll recognize as "Mailroom Guy," revealed that he was only meant to have two words in his iconic scene with Will Ferrell after Buddy is sent to work in the mailroom in his father's office building.
Acheson, who was 46 at the time, came up with the line about being 26 years old with "nothing to show for it," leading Ferrell to reply, "You're young, you're so young."
Because of that, the "producers wanted to axe the whole scene," but Favreau "fought for it," getting the joke of it all—which was lucky for Acheson, who says "it changed [his] career quite a bit."
It sure is hard to imagine how things would have moved along if they just glossed right over everything that happens in the mail room!
