D’Onofrio had no trouble finding Gilpin’s body, but the same can’t be said for the crew working the set. “They called cut—they were like, ‘That’s lunch, guys, great day!,’” Gilpin continued. “And I hear, like, footsteps on gravel getting farther and farther away, van doors closing.

No one remembers you.’” Clearly, the same is true on their end.
