The big thing was to make sure I had some mobility. There was a makeup team of five people putting it on and we got it down to two-and-a-half hours. How long did it take to get into costume and makeup? You are unrecognizable as Dennis, the time-traveling robot sent to kill Bill and Ted. It’s kind of intimidating how smart they are.
What’s so disarming is that they are the least airhead guys you’ll ever meet. Are Keanu and Alex anything like the characters they play? It was hard at times not to just fan out. I was so in awe of being in the presence of Bill and Ted. The first time I was in a scene with them, I had lines to say, but I forgot them.
Since you grew up watching the films, was it surreal to act opposite Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter fully decked out as Bill and Ted?
