And [Reitman] was good with that.
He said to get them as close to the feel and the vibe as you could.

[Aykroyd] had a head that was massive, Thompson says.
He was a huge, lumbering person, and Dylan is not.
Thompson also concealed OBriens natural hairline to trick the eye into thinking he had a larger forehead.

Luckily, thats where the challenges ended with OBrien.
Dylan’s a character…
He’s so much fun but incredibly professional at the same time, Thompson says.

That was the main goal every morning: to get that [rectangular] shape.
We had to really finesse it, Thompson says.
So he was a lot of fun to find the character with.

To accentuate the wrinkles, Sawyer painted on fine lines and age spots.
Andys sparse unibrow was one detail I felt we could add in aiding [Brauns] transformation.
She also shaved Hunts brows into a similar shape as Radners to achieve the transformation.

[Hunt] was a trooper, she says.
We went through a lot of different things with [Woods] beard, Sawyer says.
As a result, the makeup department was tasked with doing more work on Wood than originally planned.

We had to then lay that [facial] hair in every time, Sawyer says.
That was thrown in at the last minute.
Belushis thinning hair also provided a unique challenge for the hair department.

The Belushi wig was difficult, but once we got it, we got it, Thompson says.

He was an opera singer.
He’d worked forever.
Lamorne just killed it, Thompson says.

I thought it came from the way he moved his body.
His lace sideburns were made of finely-chopped hair and were applied after his wig was secured withBaldiezadhesive.
Lamorne, however, was mortified to shoot without it.

Ultimately Reitman allowed him to keep his mustache because Garrett did eventually grow a mustache during later episodes ofSNL.
But halfway through filming, Lamorne changed his mind.
