The tank scene in The Last Crusade is all him.

Bolaji Badejo. The Nigerian design student who played the xenomorph in Alien. About a million feet tall and skinny as hell, he brought a beauty and balletic poise to the creature that hasn't been repeated in any of the sequels. His movements make certain shots in the film seem eerily close to H. R. Giger's original sketches and paintings. As far as I know, this was his only role.

How cool are those pictures?

Default Tom Savini

The makeup and effects whiz is to come out of retirement for two new movies.

It's good to hear George Romero's go-to-guy for zombie effects and gore is getting back to what he loves and does best.

I love me some Savini, as the kids are saying these days. A SFX whizz and proud owner of some great cameos (especially Sex Machine in From Dusk 'Til Dawn).

Google him. But make it a picture search. There's so many candid pics of this guy just kickin' back with his Xenomorph pants on. So much cooler than any of the B+W Star Wars behind the scenes pics.

I get sick of those Star Wars photos, they were great when they first appeared, they seem to "find" more all the time. This mag is as guilty as the next for doing it.
