Walking the walk

Vincent D'Onofrio played the alien Edgar in the flick, whose bug-like walk is one of the character's defining characteristics.

Although you might think that insect documentaries were the actor's source of inspiration for the movement, Vincent revealed it was actually basketball players that gave him the idea.

He recounted: "I was walking by a sporting goods store one day, and I saw these braces that the basketball players wear. I went in and I tried one on and I realized you could lock it off, you could tape the hinges so that you can’t bend either way. So I bought two of them and I took them home and I put them on. So, I slightly bent my leg and locked off the braces so I couldn’t move either way, but it was slightly bent and I taped off both my feet and I tried to walk and it created this restrained, physical odd thing."
