Gladiator star Russell Crowe's improv in one scene ended up becoming an important part of the movie by expanding one actor's small role.
Gladiator star Russell Crowe has opened up about how an improvised scene in the movie became an important part of the storyline. Directed by Ridley Scott, Gladiator tells the story of Crowe's Maximus Meridius, who becomes a gladiator to get revenge for the murder of his family. A key scene in the film sees Maximus praying after a battle, facing two small figurines that he sees as his wife and child.

So I picked up these figurines and directed a prayer towards them as if they were my wife and child. That ends up becoming this huge story point. But it was like that was created on the night.
