Tim Roth’s portrayal of General Teide in "Planet of the Apes" exemplifies the power of makeup and prosthetics. With an intricate ape costume and detailed facial applications, Roth was rendered completely unrecognizable. The transformation allowed him to fully inhabit the role, creating a character that was both fearsome and compelling.
John Travolta’s performance as Edna Turnblad in "Hairspray" was a delightful surprise for audiences. Wearing a full-body suit, heavy makeup, and a wig, Travolta convincingly portrayed a loving mother with warmth and humor. The transformation was so complete that many viewers did a double-take, hardly believing it was him.
