Let your teeth be a little yellow

The actor I was interviewing had the kind of smile that could light up a room. And by that I mean he had a glow in the dark, Ross in season six of "Friends," shade that doesn't occur naturally in humans of smile. I'd never noticed it in any of his performances, but in person, every perfectly straight, perfectly-sized tooth seemed to shine with a luminosity that wasn't merely white, it was "My dead relatives are beckoning to me from beyond these incisors" white.

If there's such a thing as too much of a good thing, I think I saw it in the wattage inside this guy's mouth.
