Turning Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee's scandal-laden and x-rated romance into a Hulu miniseries presented certain unexpected challenges for producers.
In a long ranging interview, Sebastian Stan, 39, who portrays Lee, reveals how he approached a particularly bizarre scene adapted from the Motley Crue rocker's 2005 memoir where chats with his penis.
Several puppeteers were hired for the racy scene in Pam & Tommy with actor Jason Mantzoukas voicing Lee's animatronic genitals, Variety reported.

'By the end of it, I treated it like it was an intimate buddy conversation that one might have when they're falling in love,' Stand told the outlet about how he approached the scene.
In Tommyland, Tommy Lee's memoir, he describes having a full conversation with his private parts about falling for Baywatch bombshell Pamela Anderson.
'I think it might be a first [for television]. There was gentle pushback, because you've got to push back a little when a talking penis is presented to you,' said show creator Robert Siegel. 'But Hulu was extremely supportive.'
The director, Craig Gillespie, added that it was not an easy scene to film, calling the whole ordeal 'just awkward.'
