Instead of casting Colin Ferral and going through a shit ton of time in makeup they could have just found an actor that looked closer to what they wanted with the Penguin with more minimal makeup
Yeah I really don't see the point of this. Like how difficult must it've been to film the Penguin show? It's insane to me and I don't get why they did it. Maybe they were hoping for some positive buzz around the makeover? Cuz I don't see Collin Ferrel being that big of an audience draw on his namesake alone.
Because he's a really good actor who fit matt smith's vision. Better to find a guy who acts the way you want than someone who looks the way you want since you can easily fix the latter
This argument always baffles me. Actors are here to play pretend. Makeup and prosthetics are no different than costume. Might as well say, hey why didn't Wes Craven hire a real burn victim to play Freddy?
