Yes, it was with the actor who plays Refa that I had that
conversation. He was initially bummed out, figured I was doing what I
was doing in "Rock" because I wasn't happy with his performance or
something. So I pulled him aside and explained the situation, and
indicated that we'd likely use him again as an alien character, under
prosthetics. If he hadn't done such a good job, this wouldn't have
happened, because no one would've cared about the character.
