Dueling inflatable Union rats land TV role



Those lovable, huggable inflatable Union rats had a moment of TV glory this morning ... as crews for the Hulu series "Difficult People" were filming on Second Avenue at Sixth Street...

One looked like the real deal...



... the other did not...





No word on what they did to craft services.

    One is the Ben Shaoul rat, the other the Icon Realty Rat. Rafi Toledano's has been downgraded to an inflatable mouse.

    Were they part of the show or protest for a non-union crew?

    Why did they need an inflatable rat? There are so many real ones running around the streets of the EV that I am sure they could have found one or two willing to work for the minimal acting rate.
