Anthony Carrigan endured hours of makeup to become Dennis Caleb McCoy, a time-traveling robot in “Bill & Ted Face the Music.”
The “Barry” star embraced the acting challenge, but struggled with the physical demands of wearing such a crazy costume in the dead of summer. He had a very unusual method for cooling off on the film’s New Orleans set (more on that below). The film, the long-awaited third entry in an unlikely trilogy about two metalhead slackers (Alex Winter and Keanu Reeves), arrived on-demand and in theaters on Aug. 28. That’s roughly three decades after the first two installments opened, 1989’s “Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure” and 1991’s “Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey.”
What attracted you to the project?
I’ve been a fan of the franchise since seeing the movies on VHS. To be part of this final chapter, which was 30 years in the making, was incredible.
