Marina Siritis, well known for playing "Counselor Troi" on "Star Trek: the Next Generation" supposedly recounted in an interview the following story:
They were all in character, playing an Away team sent to the planet's surface to deal with an alien of some kind, I believe it was the first season though the episode wasn't mentioned. Marina was following the script, and said to Stewart, "Captain, I sense he's hiding something."
Patrick Stewart *rounded* on the surprised actress, and said, "We know that you stupid cow! You waste of space! Why can't you tell us anything important?!?"
Then, realizing what he had just said, Stewart ran and hid behind Brent Spiner (who played Data.)
