Matchstick Men
Detailed Animal Action Report
Roy knocks on the door of someone’s house and a dog barks from inside. Later, a Golden Retriever named Otis barks and paws at the sliding glass door. A woman opens the door and Otis runs outside. Otis was played by canine star, Ted, who was cued to bark and scratch at the door by an off-camera trainer.
At a park, a woman walks two dogs on leash while another dog catches a Frisbee. The dogs belonged to the actors that interacted with them in the brief scene.
