If ever there were an actor fit to portray an alien posing as a medical professional, that man is Alan Tudyk.
Adapted from the Dark Horse comic of the same name (and premiering Wednesday, Jan. 27, at 10/9c on both Syfy and USA Network), Resident Alien follows an extraterrestrial (Tudyk) after he crash-lands on Earth and assumes the role of a small-town human doctor named Harry Vanderspeigle. Though the alien’s original mission is to kill Earth’s inhabitants and destroy the planet, Harry gets sidetracked when he’s mistaken for a physician and roped into solving a local murder. He...

In this installment of Jordan Peele’s reimagined anthology, a mysterious visitor (Steven Yeun) crashes a Christmas party at a small Alaskan town’s police station. His presence is resented when he seemingly reveals the secrets of everyone in the room. But the traveler carries a secret of his own: He’s part of an alien species bent on taking over Earth. In the final moments of the episode, piercing lights fill the night sky, signifying the impending invasion. The visually expansive moment is immediately contrasted by an intimate, close-up shot in the jail cell as the traveler, now in his true form, caps off his successful journey with a bite of pie.

“Vice,” “Mary Queen of Scots,” “A Star Is Born,” and “Crazy Rich Asians” were the top makeup and hairstyling winners Saturday at the 6th annual Muahs Guild Awards (at L.A. Live). “Vice,” the Oscar favorite for Christian Bale’s remarkable Dick Cheney transformation, took home period makeup and makeup effects; “Mary Queen of Scots,” another Oscar nominee, won for period hairstyling; “A Star Is Born” snagged contemporary makeup; and “Crazy Rich Asians” earned contemporary hairstyling.
On Friday, prior to the Academy reversing its decision to edit the cinematography, editing, makeup and hairstyling, and live action short Oscar award presentations, Julie Socash, president, Make-Up Artists & Hair Stylists Guild, delivered a statement of protest:
“We know from some of our members, as talented artists and professionals, that they are disappointed by the Academy’s decision to handle various awards in this fashion, even if on a rotational basis. As Iatse International...

Director Barry Sonnenfeld’s re-imagining of “A Series of Unfortunate Events” took dark and creepy and turned it into a vaudevillian tour de force for Neil Patrick Harris as Count Olaf. And production designer Bo Welch and special effects makeup designer Bill Terezakis brought an imaginative and spirited charm to the proceedings.
“It may look dreary and creepy on the surface, but charmingly idealistic and cheerful when filtered through the eyes of the Baudelaire orphans,” said four-time Oscar nominee Welch, who also directed the final two episodes. “They maintain this attitude that only young people have where they persevere, they use their smarts, and they survive onto the next horrible adventure in the midst of a bunch of moronic adults.”
How the Sets Expressed the Moronic Adults
From Olaf’s decrepit mansion to the bright reptile house of Uncle Monty (Aasif Mandvi) to Aunt Josephine (Alfre Woodard) and her tilted old house atop a cliff,...

Season 2 of Fox’s “Wayward Pines” has gone deeper into the backstory behind the human aberrations, or “Abbies,” that terrorize the town. In an exclusive clip, makeup effects designer Bill Terezakis reveals the four hour process of prosthetics and makeup that goes into the creation of the Abbies.
Terezakis explains that he is wary of making the Abbies too monstrous: “I think if we were to go any other route, we would lose the humanity of the characters, and that is going to be quite evident and needed in Season 2. We have to be able to identify with them in some degree, and I think Season 2 will be more of an eye opener as to why these characters are more on the human side as opposed to the monster side, and why in fact they became monsters.”
Tonight’s episode, “Sound The Alarm,” will go deeper into the backstory of the Abbies.

"Here's look at the development of the Lydian Drakon character for the film Percy Jackson: Sea Of Monsters. The concept started as a scary 6'5" frilled lizard man and became a 4'6" comedic sidekick. The character continued to shrink until it wasn't in the movie at all. That doesn't negate the precise sculpture Adi's Aki Ikeda, the paint scheme of Mike Larrabee and the application by Bill Terazakis' talented Canadian makeup crew featuring Maiko Gomyo, who herself is no bigger than your thumb." - studioADI Percy Jackson has had an unnervingly quiet school year. But then he discovers that the magical borders protecting Half Blood Hill are failing. Unless something is done, the camp will be attacked by demons and monsters.

That has given him license to enthusiastically throw around blood by the bucketful, easily outdoing the original film on the splatter score; Lynch and his cohorts (including makeup FX supervisor Bill Terezakis) even find a way to top the first Turn’s arrow-in-the-eye highlight gag. The material may be familiar and none too surprising, but Lynch punches it across with all the energy of a longtime hardcore horror fan getting the chance to let it all hang out in his debut feature. You can tell he loves this stuff.
