Peter the mime

As the costume covered most of his face and was difficult to move around in, Paul Verhoeven knew something would need to be done to ensure RoboCop could properly emote.

Orion boss Mike Medavoy suggested that Peter Weller should find and work with a professional mime artist, something the actor gladly agreed to.

Eventually, Peter found Moni Yakim - a Mime artist who taught at New York’s prestigious music school Juilliard - and worked with him for two months to master moving balletically.

The actor was even tasked with walking around Central Park in a full football gear to get used to moving around with added weight.
