Brendon Gleeson / Harry Potter
Let’s delve into Brendan Gleeson’s portrayal of Mad-Eye Moody in the Harry Potter series. Gleeson faced no small feat as the makeup crew meticulously applied numerous silicon components to his face, including an animatronic eye. This transformation process took approximately two and a half hours for Gleeson to endure while sitting in a makeup chair.
Given the constraints of Gleeson’s contract with set working hours, makeup artist Nick Dudman had to develop innovative techniques to expedite the transformation process. Despite the challenges, their collective efforts paid off, creating the captivating and memorable character of Mad-Eye Moody in the Harry Potter films.
