How does one design a retro alien? “Lots of brains and veins, stuff like that,” he says. “We have an alien based on a fish, definitely from an aquatic world. I have a cameo in the film, where I’m an alien with an exposed brain. By comparison, our 2012 aliens are much more sleek and polished.”

I worked with Zed for over 40 years, and in all that time, he never invited me to dinner. He never asked me to his house to watch a game. He never shared a single detail of his personal life. Thank you.

This guy won a record number of Oscars, including one for How the Grinch Stole Christmas.

Originally, Jim Carrey was just going to be painted green and hardly even look like the Grinch. Rick Baker hated the idea—he convinced the director (Ron Howard) to go with a full bodysuit by dressing himself up as the Grinch and showing up on set. It looked so impressive that Ron Howard made Jim wear it. Famously, Jim Carrey hated the suit and even got torture training to deal with having it applied and wearing it all day. But hey. It won them an Oscar :)
